They seem to do a lot worse with McTominay playing beside Fred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf he was late in getting first team football and comes across as a young lad. I think he will be at his best later in his career when hes in his early 30s. Saying that i am not sure hes going to go alot higher than club brugge or cremonese in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't think he will go much further in his career I still see him as a player who has looked better than he is simply because he has been playing in the middle of a back 3. A bit like Declan Gallagher for us.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense. (And I guess there's a limit to how many central defenders Steve Clarke can call up). That reminds me, anyone know how Hanley doing at Norwich since their relegation? Is he a 'stick on' for the squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syecosse Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Matthew Craig 19 did not realise he is the Spurs youth captain, looks excellent in the youth Champions league, looking at him he is highly rated another one to look out for. Is in the u21 squad. Also has a twin brother who knocked back a new deal at Spurs and joined Reading in the summer has made 2 appearances in the first team, so not sure why not involved with youth teams.

Both Craig brothers are in the latest U21 squad. Looks like Clarke has finally decided to end O'Donnell's involvement. Had he not been injured, I think Craig Halkett might have sneaked in ahead of Porteous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry missed Michael being called up.  In the main squad would not have minded to see how Hyam would get on. O'donnells days are gone Patterson, Hickey and Ralston have seen to that and take into account Ramsey, Ashby and Devine coming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to work with what we have available, and Dominic Hyam is a good suggestion for a future player. If you know of a better player why not suggest one ?
