I bet he'd offer more than L'Lorente

Best bet is finding a striker from the academy

I Trust in the Gaffer though. They get to see so many different elements that us lot do not take into account such as attitude, fitness, mental toughness etc.

Got to be a better option than "The Plank"

Great young striker playing between the U18 and U19 age groups.

Physically a beast for that age which helps him out a lot but is a natural goal scorer too.

Here’s a link off his hat trick against Arsenal last weekend

Excellent, thanks for that Hengy.

Maybe we will see more of him next season unless it is too soon or he goes out on loan.

He’s only 17 and I think his second year of being a striker ( started of as a CB then RB then RW ) so personally think it’s to soon for either a loan or first team.

Although the rumours that he’s leaving seem to be very strong

Fair play. Maybe we will see him in a few years then. Got to let them develop.

Who's the little no 15? I like his balance.

Anyone able to give an overview of Keanan Bennetts?

A lot of Spurs fans are rating this kid very highly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m a fan but lots aren’t too.

Hes a LW who also moves back to LB. personally for me he’s a LW only buy can see him becoming a LWB with some defensive coaching.

Quick, Skillful but with power. Scored a great goal in our game yesterday against Monaco.

He’s was brilliant in the U16 age group but dipped until 12/18 months ago where he’s seemed to get to grips and putting in consistency to his game.

Was about to comment the same

Reo is in a hot patch right now cannot stop scoring theoretically he should be involved against Rochdale (well Sterling should be ahead of Reo) but they will not be because sadly Poch just does not trust the younger players but that is his choice.

Reo was originally a defender then a winger only recently converted to a forward but his step up in development has been huge sometimes it just "clicks" for younger player needs a lot of work but despite all that he is scoring so its a huge positive. Physically he developed faster than some which is helping his hold up play etc. Its a blessing and curse for youngsters cos i used to love maghoma but he was doing so well because physically he was bigger and stronger than the other boys. Now everyone has developed his abilities are negated.

The rumour is bizarre because Paul Mitchell was let go because he would not listen to anyone. Well he was being let go then tried to join another club derby i think it was so we put him on gardening leave to stop that!

Mitchell refused to watch the youth teams and would rarely leave his office. The biggest complaint anyone had was that how can you shop for a certain type of player if you do not know what type of player you have at the football club.

To see him linked with a youth player is bizarre at best it would have nothing to do with him if true.

I thought reo had signed a new contract, i dont think he is out of contract as they report. I think they are confused with Shilow Tracey personally.

WTF has happened to Edwards.. meant to be his breat through yr.. know he got injured but heard anything about him since

Is he the new John Bostock Future England captain
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s on loan at Norwich although not played yet. Been lots of suggestions his attitude and application hasn’t been good enough but there no doubting his talents.

Tbh I think it’s going to be tough for anyone to break through now we’ve got a very strong squad.

Edwards is vastly overrated by twitter hipsters.

I have seen him plenty of times to know the score that it wont click with him. He has not got the mentality for it sadly. Thats down to himself, his family, his advisors. Done nothing in the game but his name is mentioned alongside Messi etc.

Always reminds me of Adel Taarabt but Taarabt was much better going up the age groups.

I'm happy to be told that I've misunderstood, but I can't really agree with this claim.

Poch puts a lot of trust in younger players. From the outside it seems that he gives them the chances, or plans their progression through loans.

Compare him to Mourinho?!

Thanks LLM and Hengy for contributing your thoughts on this.

He did but not so much anymore. Although let’s not get confused from young players he’ll play as long as they are good enough ie dele, Sanchez it’s the youth players where he’s struggling with now.

The next batch after the Kane, mason, Carroll & Townsend were KWP, Onomah, Winks, CCV and so far only Winks has managed to get decent game time.

I guess you can argue they aren’t good enough but I’m not so sure. KWP is fantastic but after a MoM game v Newcastle we bought another RB and his only game time is playing LB. That to me is bad management.

Surely giving Onomah game time in his position CM instead of buying Sissoko couldn’t have gone worse than us seeing Sissoko playing it especially at the cost of £50 Sissoko package has cost us.

I suppose it’s easier to give playing time to players that cost us money than ones we are developing.

Is look like modric actually in the know? I've always kinda assumed he was making it up since he never seems to come back to respond to people who challenge his random posts.
