But what wasn't factually true? I never initially said he didn't at one time play for your academy after you bought him.
And it took him until he was 23 to get close to establishing himself. He's not exactly an example of great youth production and how they get their chance when he needed to go to Sunderland on loan before he got a regular game.
Walker was so long ago I could just as easily cite Rafael as a reason United are great at promoting youth. You'd probably laugh that out of town though. I could also throw in Martial, Shaw, Smalling, Jones, De Gea for United along with Jesse Lingard, Axel Taunzebe and Demetri Mitchell on your criteria. Mitchell and Taunzebe have at least played more football than Carter-Vickers and Walker-Peters. I'm sure the same would apply to several other clubs too.
Once again you're inflating a grander notion of Tottenham than is the reality. Using the examples of two players with 5 appearances between them isn't proof of a great youth development record. And using two examples from around 8 years ago isn't either. Ultimately it boils down to Harry Kane and two players you signed from other clubs. There are many clubs who could make the same bold claims and some far greater.
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.
I'm simply saying that bringing through 5 young players into our
regular,
first choice XI (as of last season) is an excellent achievement in my book for a top 4 club. It doesn't matter how long ago some of them were signed - that's simply a reflection of the development process. And I'm also saying that other talented young players - like Sancho, like Sanchez - will have noticed this and made decisions accordingly.
And even outside the first XI, players like Sancho and Sanchez will have noticed that young players like Winks, CCV and Walker-Peters are all in our first team squad ... and this will likely have further influenced their decision to join Spurs.
If you don't agree with what I've said, then too bad I guess.
