Mason Melia

Wonder what the plan is for Mason , loan I would guess, intrigued by what the "moving parts" are

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank on incoming young Irish forward Mason Melia:

"We need him in the club on January 1, there's a lot of moving parts.

"When we know all of them, then we'll decide what we're doing here."

Probably what is happening with other loan deals and injuries.
 
Surely a loan isn’t it? Scarlett can’t get a kick and I imagine we want to see Amelia somewhere other than LOI before he starts making our bench and being considered for minutes? Stranger things ha e happened mind you.
 
I guess there is an argument of him staying as training with the 1st team he will learn what the level is about then playing some U21 games for actual matches. I guess he can also play the UEFA Youth League.

Just training at Spurs will probably be a notch up from any LOI team.

Interesting one that we have decided to have him in the building Jan 1st rather than stay where is, must be some plan for the lad.

Might be because of all the convoluted rules on minors , he signed for us when he was 17 but under the rules don't think he could join us until he was 18 , he didn't get to 18 until Sept 22nd which was outside of the transfer window so could only join us today in the new transfer window. I might be completely wrong about all that but youth rules and inside EU and outside EU rules can be complex.

Yeh true, someone on here will know that more than me, lets see.
 
Also it’s between the LOI seasons. So don’t think he play till February again in that.If you sign someone surely you want to get to work straight away with them?
 
I mean, we literally just bought him from there, so 6 months would not hurt.

But anyway, be interested to see what the plans are
The purchase has been agreed for almost 18 months. We couldn't buy him until he turned 18 in Sptember. So in effect we've left him there for 18 months even if technically we've just bought him.
 
Have to put our trust in Lange and the youth coaches to map out a path for Mason to regular PL appearances in the future. I know Lange has received some criticism from some quarters but I believe he was heavily involved in getting Bergvall and Gray into the club , both teenagers but both considered good enough for the PL whereas others like Donley, Devine etc have gone out on loan.

I didn't mean it as in we have just bought him timewise, I meant as he has come from that league and was there till literally now so him being there a smidge longer is hardly harmful.
