Spurs Youth 2023/24

[Sean]

I'll put it down to rust. Been injured and not played a game in a few months.

No where near ready for the first team though like some would have you believe.

Showed some decent touches and runs off the Ball though

Yeah, good runs.

Goals will come.

 

[Stov]

Can donley play the same role as madders does in the first team or is he more of a striker playing as a ten.

From what I've seen of him this season, he can definitely play the Maddison role.

Can play like Maddison or as a no 10, used to be a striker a year or so ago

So can Devine, but in a different way to Maddison. Both top prospects

 

[therhinospeaks]

Good job his name isn't Alan Velkins ;-)

 

[sudoku]

LOL, Keeley taking the piss out of naughty no 9.

Sell lo celso put him on the bench instead.

 

[Football Chap]

Well, Veliz is definitely going to need some time.

Gaining a bit of match sharpness the most important thing, Sarr didn't really stand out in the games he played with the u21s last year but has been great this season

Once Brennan Johnson gets going on the right flank, Kulu will also probably play more inside in the 10 role.

But yes, Donley looks like a good option to develop as a Maddison understudy, if he can develop the defensive side of the role too.

Makes a difference from last season, very good win that.

He's got the tenacity, likes getting stuck in.

 

[Elias]

Yes, and that's great.

But it's the discipline, and reading of situations from a defensive perspective too playing as a PL midfielder.

Fwiw every week on the highlight shows the pundits call out midfielders for not tracking runners, not being switched on etc.

Basically plays how Kane played when he dropped in to midfield but is doing it all the time because he's playing in midfield.

 

[Nuts]

Well that was fun!

Donley 2, Soonsup-Bell 2, Lankshear

 

[Football Chap]

Much better than watching UCL football

 

[Starks]

Think that's 3 goals and 7 assists in 5 games this season now for Donley too.

 

[Spursidol]

I'm quite near Colchester so am going to the game Tuesday.

Looking forward to seeing how the U21s are getting on with Ange ball.

TBH I have never followed our youth teams with any real meaning, except to maybe look at their league tables from time to time.

So, will be a new experience for me to watch our up-and-comers. Hoping to see Dorrington (hearing good things on here) and Philips. Veliz would be cool also.

Hopefully won't be as painful as my last visit to Col Utd watching Spurs.

I hope you enjoyed the game.

Not so painful as your last visit I suspect !

Feel free to post any thoughts on the spurs players

Could be the long term replacement for Kane. He’s a scorer and provider, much like what Kane did for us.
