Exactly. Smart move
Since Pochettino took over the likes of Walker, Rose, Alli, Kane, Dier, Davies, Trippier have either improved significantly and become at the very least decent squad players in a top 4 club. With Walkers-Peters and Winks on the edge. All those players except for Davies (Welsh) are English.
Nope. Born in London and played for Watford youth before City got him.
Yep and also the Southampton lads - Shaw, Chambers, Clyne, Lallana, Ward Prowse, Rodriguez got their big break in the PL under him. There was a stat not too long ago that most of the recent England debutants in the last two years [?] have been coached by him.
Which was supposedly one of the main issues Sancho had. I think some of the City fans stated he never really settled within Manchester.
There's always a weakly-proffered excuse from some opposition fans every time Spurs sign a talented player.
Good shout, England should try and get him in after Southgate.
Absolutely. His whole approach is to use a high energy game and the best people to do that are the kids. The PL clubs he's managed so far are clubs where you can do that with no real expectation of having to win trophies or no huge necessity to finish high up the table.
Getting Sanchez is not some sort of a coup. He wasn't really linked with a huge number of clubs but then again it's the same sort of boasting you showed after signing Paulinho. Nobody is scratching their heads over that move because Tottenham are exactly the sort of club you would expect him to go to.
Trump would love you
perhaps what he wants is to move without a compensation fee set by the FA committee - like ziki fryers did to us...
He was strongly linked to Barca (for example), but reportedly turned them down because of greater chances to play at Spurs. And from what I can gather he's widely seen as one of the top prospects across the whole of Europe.
Along with Klopp then; he gives young players a chance too.
Pochettino has a better record in England regarding English players which was whom I was speaking about in particular. But yeah Klopp has been around for a shorter period and Alexander-Arnold looks good so far.
London
They are facts though. You can jump around them all you want. Perhaps you could address what I said that wasn't factually true? You won't of course.Trump would love you
Rose also played for our academy team, tho' he joined it late. But in any case it's not just about the academy, not just about the first XI. It's also about the age at which a player joins, how they progress from there and the wider squad.
Well, this is not true at all. I'm fairly sure all of above with the exception of Chambers had lots games already at Premier League level before Poch arrived.
Yes. Shaw was regular from 2012-13 season when Adkins was manager.
He did not turn down Barca to join Spurs.
Yep. PL games prior to Pochettino's arrival (he became manager for 23rd game):
Nope. Southampton were promoted in 2012 and sacked Adkins midway through their first season back. Lallana, Rodriguez, Clyne and Shaw had what......half a season worth of games at most in the PL while Chambers and Ward Prowse were promoted by Pochettino the following season.
That's not 'lots of games' in the PL though which was the point.
It was their first season in the PL though. Clyne, Rodriguez and Lallana were already mainstays of the Southampton team so I think it is a bit much to say Pochettino gave those three their big break.
He did not give them a 'big' break. Lallana had been a regular for absolute ages for a start. They were all part of the first team picture before Poch arrived. Clyne, Rodriguez, Lallana and Shaw were starters. Only Ward Prowse wasn't a regular starter before Poch but had plenty of games.
Fair but my initial point was about Pochettino taking them up to the next level as individuals and as a team under his coaching. Being good Championship players and merely staying up in the top flight is one thing but in his one and only full season he guided them to 8th place with Lallana, Shaw and Chambers moving on to bigger clubs, + Lovren and Lambert got moves in that summer.
I was told by someone well placed, no idea where Glaston heard but could be a similar place given we posted within a minute of each other.
I've already said that when Rose arrived he was playing in our academy team for a short while ... moreover Alli was only 18, when he signed for Spurs, Walker was only 19 and Dier only 20. All four of those players were brought through into our first XI. Including Kane that's 5 young players brought into our regular first XI ... which I'd say is an outstanding record for a top 4 club.
De Gea, Rashford, Martial..
But what wasn't factually true? I never initially said he didn't at one time play for your academy after you bought him.
I haven't compared Spurs track record on youth development with any other particular club, so I don't know why you are dragging United in this.
But we're not a top 4 club. That's where Glaston wins mate.
You literally compare them with every club when you say your club has one of the best track records around. Would you say United have one of the best track records around and is a great place for young players to go? I'm using United as an example because I know more about them.
Neither were Spurs when all those players he cites were signed.
Doesn't suit the narrative though.
