Bruce on Onomah:
He said: “Josh is something different that we haven’t got.
“He’s a forward runner from midfield. As you can see, he’s big and strong and athletic.
“He will have enjoyed his debut and I think he will be a big asset to us.
“Josh has got something that we wanted. We are delighted we’ve got him.
“He can play anywhere in midfield - whether it is number six, eight or ten. He can play off the front.
“With Jack Grealish being out for a long time, I thought it was important to have someone who can drop the shoulder and go past somebody and he has all of that.
“It is something that we’ll work on and I’ve certainly seen enough of Josh to know that he’ll give us something different.
“He is only a young boy but I believe he will relish the challenge.”

In fairness to the other Villa players, who's gonna teach them how to press?
Ha, no doubt.Daniel Levy: "20 mil or gtfo"
I still see a place for him here. Dembele hasn't got long left I don't think. This Villa loan is doing him wonders and he'd deserve a shot on the bench next year if he continues to improve.
I don't believe all the mistakes were theirs though Guido, even if they are owning up to some of them. These are teenagers, why do we expect them to not make mistakes, expect them to be emotionally fully rounded human beings?
I don't think any of Pritchard, Bentaleb, Onomah or Edwards were "bad eggs" or "party animals" like someone like Ravel Morrison for instance. They all just got fucked off being made promises of chances and never getting them.
He says:
"But Onomah doesn’t shy away from the fact that his own frustration and occasional lack of motivation was largely responsible"
I can imagine how easy it must be to get frustrated and demotivated when you get 20 minutes of PL football in three years, and you are constantly watching other players come off the bench when we are 3/4/5-0 up in games with 30 minutes to go.
Then the final kick in the teeth was when he deliberately came back early from winning the Youth WC hoping to get some game in pre season - and Poch brings TOB on instead and plays him in midfield, where he's never played Onomah.
The club who takes these kids aged 8 etc, have a duty not to let them down either and to understand that emotionally they are still adolescent kids going through that change of life turmoil, whilst living in the bubble of football, the bubble that clubs create for them largely.
I do not believe the club (not just ours) or Pochettino were blameless in this process - but I don't hear the club or Pochettino ever saying "we probably could have handled the situation better re some of these kids".
For example, Pochettino operated a distinct double standard when it came to behaviour. Happily forgiving and rewarding senior players like Rose and Aurier for major issues, but operating some kind of zero tolerance for kids.
The article also says:
"Partly, it was due to playing out of position, his opportunities largely coming in snippets on the right wing"
"Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and I felt like I needed games to show what I’m good at and grow as a player.”
"At a time when the club operated under a strict policy of keeping its best prospects in-house, pushing to go on loan ultimately spelt the beginning of the end of Onomah’s time at Tottenham"
I don't blame him, Pritchard, Bentaleb or Edwards (or KWP for that matter) for getting frustrated and demotivated. I don't think KWP in all these years of being "ready" was given two consecutive games. Disgraceful. Regardless of whether he's ultimately top drawer on not. we've watched plenty of purchased RB's blunder their way through the first fifty-hundred games. We can't even give one we've spent 14 years coaching 2. Or Onomah a single game in midfield - even in bloody pre season.
Poch was a fucking fraud when it comes to academy integration. He couldn't stop talking the talk, and milking the adulation for it, but did not walk the walk.
Would love to see him start against Anderlecht.
yeah, he looked poor for me last night, and tbh I haven't seen anything from him yet that has impressed me, not even something that eludes to something more (a stepover, beating a man, a powerful strike, just havent seen any indication of what potential he may have yet)
I know he's only 18, and will surely improve, but I can only judge him on what I've seen so far, and haven't been impressed so far.
I can only trust that Poch has seen something I haven't, because he looks very ordinary at the moment.

You should send Poch a note and let him know, as the man noted for blooding young academy products in every club he has managed has clearly dropped a massive bollock. Get on to it before it's too late.
To my eyes there was plenty of Dembele influence in those performances from Josh. In particular the use of the body and strength to shield the ball intelligently from the opposition. Maybe it was just the position he was playing in.
Wanyama scored 5 this season gone, which isn't bad for a part player that does fuck all
Yeah because theyve been treated to so much effort and skill the last decade.
You can take the boy away from Poch, but you can't take Poch away from the boy!
