Yeah it’s clear that the spurs fanbase desperately wants a whole team of Harry winks and his homegrown play style.

As others have said club trained is only really important when you're in Europe. The club should obviously prepare for the future and bring in players under 18 to become club trained like we did with Devine but you don't get the rewards from that until after a few years. Most of our higher potential club grown players will still be under 21 next year so would go on to list B anyway but can obviously be involved. Start of next season if we make it back in to Europe, Skipp might be our only club trained player. White and Parrott would be over 21 so would depending on what happens with them (whether sold or given another loan chance this season). Can also buy back Cirkin early next summer for £6m who would also be club trainedIsn’t club trained where our bigger problem is going to be?
We’ve had practically no one come through our academy in the last 5 years. Pretty much just Skipp and then an unreliable tanganga.
Kane could still leave at any point in this window.I see a lot of posts saying we need to sign Home Grown players this summer such as Raya, Maddison, etc. however I’m not sure that is correct given
- the only HG we are likely to offload this summer are benchwarmers / reserves such as Tanganga and Winks
- we are not in Europe which has a higher requirement for HG / club trained
We will have an issue in the summer of 2024 with Forster and Kane going. Kane will be the biggest issue given he’s club trained. But without want to kick the can down the road, that is next years problem.
what disaster of biblical proportions am I missing? Can someone enlighten me?
Might have Europe this season after all

Would we have to enter or would it be an offer?hope not, the manager needs all the time he can get to sort this lot out

Spurs lion is a troll account
The closest we'll get to Europe this season will be when Daniel sets up a Tottenham Hotspur coach/boat tour side business to expand the portfolio
Think its good, showing a former “beauty star” age naturally (ish).More importantly can’t you change your avatar to a picture of Ulrika when she didn’t look like a mental patient?
She was quite cute in her youth. You’re not doing her any favours now.
I don't think Sarr can become club trained.So after the transfer window how did we do?
From the HG contingent: Kane, Tanganga and Winks out - all club trained. To be fair, neither of Tanganga nor Winks were likely to get a game in EPL or Europe.
Replaced by
Maddison - certain starter
Philips - backup CB and if he turns out to be good will become Club Trained in the future given his age.
Johnson - starter / bench?
My understanding is that Sarr will become HG club-trained. So we have for the 4 HG (club trained) and 4 HG (non-club trained) for Europe next year
HG (club trained)
sarr
skipp
austin/whiteman
phillips
+ kids (Devine/Scarlett/ etc)
HG (non-club trained)
- Maddison
- Sessegnon/Davies (assuming 1 stays)
- Forster (assuming he stays)
- Johnson
Seems like we will be fine.
I might be dim, as I don't know the full squad lists, but do the likes of Chelsea & Forest have this same dilemma...?
They seem to be signing anyone and everyone right now... How's THEIR squad quota doing?

sudokuI don't think Sarr can become club trained.
Has to be 3 years at the club before the age of 21.
"A club Trained Player’ is a player who was on the Club’s register for any 3 full Seasons before the end of the Season in which he ceases to be eligible by age to play at Under 21 level."
Phillips, possibly. Depends on when his birthday is and when we signed him.
Sarr can't, Phillips can if he stays 3 years and isn't loaned outI don't think Sarr can become club trained.

IIRC Doherty could not be classified as HG because he spent a year on loan in Scotland so my guess is Sarr won't be club trained.
