Simon Dawkins has gone on trial at Derby
Really?
I head that it was.
To state the bleeding obvious he will never be a first teamer but a couple of hundred thousand pounds transfer fee is not to be sniffed at.
I think his wages are around about a grand a week?
Our Reserves (Spurs XI) drew away to Athletic Bilbao 1-1 last night.
Cameron Lancaster scored Tottenham's goal...
Tottenham Hotspur Reserves (Spurs XI), Under-21s, & Academy (U-18s) 2013-14
Which one is Lancaster and is he fully recovered and playing regularly now?

Veljovik - Miles - Ball - Stewart - Lancaster - Oduwa - Bentaleb
Fredericks (captain) - Ogilvie - McEvoy - Onomah
Agreed.
And when he's been out on loan most of his wages have probably been covered by the loaning club.
I also quite like the idea that if there's a youngster with the right attitude, but not quite the talent to make it in the top flight we don't just cut them lose and let them sort things out on their own. Showing the players that are in the academy now that if you show the right attitude we (the club) will try to help them out even if they're not quite good enough for the first team might be a good thing.
Entirely agree. There's nothing to show that Dawkins has been unprofessional or disloyal: he's presumably worked extremely hard, only to come up against a hard limit that nature set upon him in terms of his level of talent. Nothing to be ashamed of there, and we shouldn't carelessly toss aside players like that. Sets a bad example.
I imagine we release a lot of players each year, most of who would have a good or hard working attitude, so it is odd to think we kept dawkins on but not a lot of others. Think it most more to do with us thinking we could get a fee out of it, so less to do with being nice and more to do with money.
pritchard with an assist for swindon tonight and sounding good, no mason again.
Mason did came on as a sub for Pritch towards the end
