Good for some first team sub appearances this season? Doesn’t lack skills! Maybe a bit light weight. Seems remarkably polished for a u17 youngster - passing, accurate shots, tricky and carries the ball well. Everything in front of him still and all to prove.
 
This one confuses me. When Mikey Moore signed professional terms it was well documented. I still couldn't tell you whether LWB has signed professional terms. Not on the official website and not listed as an academy player.
 
Looks even better than Mikey from that highlights reel. Might be worth getting him on the bench a few times this season, has a lot of creative skills, dribbles well and can certainly finish.

Skinning 16 year olds is of course easier than playing against fully grown elite athletes. A big step up for Moore and he held his own without being allowed to get into a rhythm and run of games. Would be ideal to loan them to a well run League 1 side. Shame if we can’t loan such players until they’re 18, because they would probably benefit from an intermediate step before first team football at Spurs. A bit extreme either playing against teenagers or the the worlds best players.
 
Don't see the problem myself, Barcelona give game time to their youngsters all the time. I get the physical aspect but if it's possible to give him 10 minutes here and there during his development then why not? Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri weren't much older when they got first team experience.
Years ago, a certain Wayne Rooney debuted at 16 and didn't do too badly. Not saying our lad is anywhere near his level by the way.
Myself at 13 was playing Sunday league football against men twice and sometimes 3 times my age (and size :grin:) and coped.

Do you know. What you wrote had me so confused as in my head I had checked and saw April. So I checked again.

Have a look at this - https://www.premierleague.com/players/134791/Lucá-Williams-Barnett/overview

There are a fair few other websites saying April as well but his DoB is clearly October by the majority.

Is anyone watching what is happening with Dexter Oliver? Looks like City are about to steal one of our most exciting kids. About time professional terms could be signed at 16 in England.
 
Incredibly talented. Spurs have LWB and unfortunately the Arse have Max Dowman.
They make every other player on the pitch look leaden footed.
You see glimpses of great promise from other players, but the consistency from LWB is (dare I say it) Hoddle-esque.
Hopefully he will keep on track and do the business for the first team, but a long road ahead of him yet.
