Wasn't there an U18 match against stoke today? Might be why we didn't see Coulthirst with the U21s.. Not sure why Ceballos wasn't in the squad, maybe injury, or maybe being called up to sit on the bench for the first team? eh?

Thanks for that. I have said for some time how "clever" he is. He wins free kicks in dangerous positions. Imagine Bale taking advantage.

bale wont be at the club by the time kane is ready for the first team, so he better learn to take the free kicks as well

Unfortunately you're probably right!
Next season EPL loan for Harry.

SPURS LOAN WATCH:
Harry Kane made an impressive debut for Leicester City at Blackpool on Saturday.
The striker joined the Foxes on loan on Thursday and was straight into the starting line-up for the Championship encounter at Bloomfield Road.
Harry was denied what would have been an fantastic debut goal when Matthew Gilks tipped away his volley from 22 yards.
He was then brought down in the box in the second half only for Chris Wood to miss from the penalty spot and then set-up a golden chance for Lloyd Dyer, whose effort was blocked as it ended 0-0.
Foxes manager Nigel Pearson said: "I think it was a good debut, he showed a lot of tactical awareness and his understanding of our system was very good. I’m delighted to have him on board."
Staying in the Championship, David Bentley played 90 minutes as Blackburn drew 0-0 against Leeds and Jon Obika made his debut for Charlton late off the bench in a 2-0 home defeat against Forest. Adam Smith was an unused substitute as Millwall beat Middlesbrough 2-1 at the Riverside.
In the Premier League, Andros Townsend looked lively in a 75-minute shift for QPR but could do little to prevent Manchester United from winning 2-0 at Loftus Road.
Simon Dawkins came on in the 82nd minute as Aston Villa suffered a late 2-1 defeat at Arsenal.
In League Two, Jordan Archer started again in goal for Wycombe as the Chairboys lost 2-1 at home to Southend.
Away from the UK, Iago Falque scored the first goal of his loan spell at Almeria as his side beat SD Ponferradina 4-0 in Spain's Segunda Division.
Heurelho Gomes started as Hoffenheim suffered a 2-1 loss against FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
In Greece, Bongani Khumalo came off the bench in the 72nd minute as PAOK beat Kekyra 3-1 to stay third in the Greek Super League while in Italy, Souleymane Coulibaly came on in the 78th minute as Grosseto lost 2-1 against Juve Stabia.

John Bostock seems to have failed to land a deal to remain with the San Jose Earthquakes after being on trial with the club for recent weeks. That would normally not be of interest to Toronto FC fans but for the fact that at least one source is reporting that San Jose's lose might end up being Toronto's gain as the attacking midfielder's next stop could be BMO Field.
Bostock is a 21 year old attacking midfielder and has been property of Tottenham Hotspur since 2008 when the player forced his way out of Crystal Palace through a tribunal. His departure left a bad taste in the mouths of those at Palace who had seen Bostock break into the team as a 15 year old making him the youngest player to ever play for the club and the youngest player to ever start for the club.
His move to Tottenham has never really worked out though as since completing his transfer in the spring of 2008 all he has done is go out on a series of loans to clubs in the lower leagues. In the past four years he has spent time at Brentford, Hull City, Sheffield Wednesday, and Swindon Town.
It is nothing new to see a young player going on a series of loans to lower division clubs to try and prepare him to eventually break into the first team with the club that owns his rights but the worrying part with Bostock is that he has not really done much to impress on his series of loans. Since moving to Tottenham he has only made four appearances for the club and 42 in total scoring just 4 goals during that time.
His appearances from Tottenham have all come outside of league play as he made three UEFA Cup games in 2008-2009 and then a single appearance in the FA Cup in 2012. His first appearance in Europe came as a 16 year old and made him the youngest player to ever play for Spurs beating out the previous record by just six days.
When Bostock was 16 it looked like he was going to be the next big thing for England. Captain of the U17 side, youngest ever player at Crystal Palace and Spurs, and ready to make his big break through into the Premier League. It has not gone that way though as he has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League and is no where near getting his first cap for England five years later.
The good news is that despite the last five years seeing him fall off a bit in his development he is still only 21 years of age and has the chance to turn into a solid professional even if he never becomes the star that Spurs would have been hoping for when they fought to sign him from Palace.
His last loan with Swindon Town came to an end when Tottenham recalled Bostock at the start of January feeling that he was not getting enough playing time with the club. That led to the player joining San Jose in camp and featuring in a number of their preseason games in hopes of finding his next loan deal. Bringing him to San Jose would have made him the natural replacement for Simon Dawkins who the clubs also loaned from Spurs but it seems that this time around it is not going to work out.
Failing to land a move to San Jose seems to have opened the door for him to join up with Toronto FC. Bringing him in on trial is a move that makes sense for Toronto as they are in need of attacking options and he could help to at least address that concern without eating up cap space in the long term. Bringing him on a loan could help the team in 2013 but does not tie up any of the cap flexibility that will be needed to improve long term come the end of the season.
The big question will be just why things did not work out for him with San Jose. If it was a matter of him not having the quality to add to their squad that would not be the best sign but then again TFC is currently at a much lower standard and beggars can't be choosers. If it was a matter of finances it is a safe bet that TFC has a lot more spending power at this stage that SJE do as they are near the cap and also investing in a new stadium so they really do not have money to throw around should Spurs require the loan club to pay a major portion of the players salary.
Bringing in Bostock seems like a long shot in hopes that he can get his career back on track but taking a free look at a player who was once so highly regarded is never a bad thing. If he impresses and a loan can be agree than it could work out well for Toronto as their hands would not be tied by the player long term.

Certainly seems likely, his loan at this point seems more like a trial than a loan to get experience to me.
