It was interesting in the Times' report of the press conference after our game against the Spammers, he commented that most journalists asked Allardyce about his future. Nobody bothered to ask Sherwood anymore...
Your second list which is made up of non first team squad players will see a lot of movement outwards. Darren McQueen has already left to Ipswich Town and Kevin Stewart is expected to join Sheffield United. Plans are well advanced to scrap the under 21 league and replace it with an under 23 league so expect to see a closer scrutiny of the fringe youngsters than is usual at this time of year.
"Plans are well advanced to scrap the under 21 league and replace it with an under 23 league" That must be due to fringe players at PL clubs not getting enough serious game time. Spurs must have a lorry-load now in the 21-23 age range. "so expect to see a closer scrutiny of the fringe youngsters than is usual at this time of year." Timmy knows the strengths/weaknesses of all the Academy players like the back of his hand eh.
Is this where all of the talk of B teams is coming from? Makes sense, I guess, as long as it doesn't directly interfere with the lower leagues.
In the late 70s / early 80s there used to be the "Football Combination" league, which was where your reserves / injury returnees / upcoming talent would get regular competitive game time.
So, Caulker, Huddlestone and a new Left Back.... last summers transfer dealings are looking very silly once again.
Yeah, I posted that before the details had been made public. I'm not impressed by what's being proposed.
