Jamie Donley

He's playing well there, might be his route into first team games, midfield is a little crowded right now

Indeed, I remember another young Spurs teen who started as a left back and turned into a very special player. He actually ended up in Madrid

This may be controversial, but IMO we've missed Modric more than Bale. I'm not trying to suggest that Donley can replace him, but I do feel like we need a player in midfield who can retain, dictate tempo, and pass (to start an attack, not sling it sideways). I've liked what I've seen of Donley so far so I hope he does get some game time if not going on loan. He'll be 20 in January so he definitely needs a loan if he's not getting game time here.

I would not send him out on loan, instead develop him as an integral part of the first team squad.

I think the club (and by extension us as fans) have to think very hard at this point

- Gray, Bergvall, Moore, Donley, Devine, Lankshear as a real part of the team might be a trade off between this next season (perhaps not improving greatly on last) but setting up the following years with an extremely young team with lots of HG talent that would only need to be supplemented by one or two quality buys.

Said it elsewhere, if it was my call, I'd be very tempted to splash whatever cash we have on a single CF, and use the kids for the rest

You'd probably have to sell richarlison though. Or loan lankshear, veliz and scarlet.

It's a difficult one. We have a lot of games. But the youngsters need to be starting. Get experience then be ready to challenge for a starting space. Even if there is an injury. We have son that can play there and get goals.

I can see those six getting a lot of playing time in the early rounds of the cup competitions plus time off the bench in the PL.

It will be like Poch's first season. We'll have the weekend team and the midweek team. And after a little while some of them might start getting swapped around, like Kane, Mason and Bentaleb did for Ade, Capoue and Paulinho

Why do the youngsters need to start?
