Loan Watch 2019-20

Luke Amos played 90 minutes in QPSpurs' 1-0 loss to Reading
Cameron Carter-Vickers wasn't in the squad for Stoke's 3-2 win over Sheffield Wednesday
Jack Clarke was packing his bags for his inevitable return while Leeds were busy drawing 1-1 with Preston
Anthony Georgiou wasn't in the squad for Ipswich's 0-0 draw with Gillingham
Jack Roles played 73 minutes in Cambridge's 4-0 loss to Swindon, picking up a booking
George Marsh played 90 minutes in Orient's 3-1 loss to the pit of misery that is Colchester

 

Marcelo Biela's said a little bit about Jack Clarke's missing half a season due to leeds' incompetence loan

“I am very grateful with Clarke. He made his contribution in this part of the season, even if I didn’t use him.

“In the last days, he improved his performance, but just when this process was going on Tottenham decided to ask Leeds for Clarke to come back. I thought it was unnecessary to keep him if I knew he wasn’t going to be with us.

“I always try to make the players arrive as the best version of themselves. Sometimes, this process is not fast, it’s slow and we don’t achieve it faster. For instance, I saw Nketiah tonight at a good level, light and fresh to run in a tough match and comfortable. He unbalanced a lot of situations. He was fast. Comfortable in small-sized spaces and able to unbalance the match.”

 

I think that they've wasted Nketiah even more than they have Clarke, honestly.
He'd have probably got more time with the filth and scored as many goals. Quite a silly loan, really.

 

Clarke, Carter-Vickers and Sterling all recalled
https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2019/december/loan-watch/

To be incredibly blunt, why the **** didn't we recall Sterling back in October? Doncaster thought he had a dead leg back in September and exacerbated whatever his Mystery Leg Injury is, and since then he's returned to Spurs twice so we can run test to try and get to the bottom of it coupled with him needing a scan at Leeds General, and it was clear by that point he wouldn't be playing for them before Christmas

A fourth player has returned to Tottenham Hotspur following the end of their loan spell.

Anthony Georgiou has become the latest loanee to head back to North London

 

Connor Ogilvie with another late winner for The Gills today - Edit wrong thread he's not on loan anymore!

 

Luke Amos played 66 minutes in QPSpurs' 2-1 loss to Hull
Jack Roles played 83 minutes in Cambridge's 1-0 win over Morecambe, scoring the only goal
George Marsh played 90 minutes in Orient's 1-1 draw with Newport

Everyone else will be back at Spurs Lodge by Thursday afternoon...

 

Jack Roles

He scores goals

 

Luke Amos played 90 minutes in QPSpurs' 6-1 win over Cardiff, picking up a late booking
Jack Roles played 90 minutes in Cambridge's 3-2 loss to Mansfield, picking up an injury time booking
George Marsh played 90 minutes in Orient's 1-0 loss to Walsall

 

Couple of mates went to the QPR game today. They were glowing about Amos' performance. Hope springs eternal...

 

It's been pointed out that Luke Amos is averaging 4.2 tackles & interceptions per game for QPSpurs

For comparison's sake, here's what our current CM options are managing
Ndombele - 3.92
Winks - 3.33
Dier - 2.65
Sissoko - 1.86

And now I'm off to the British Museum to check those stats against the Rosetta Stone to see if they make sense

 

By all accounts, he's doing very well. He's been injury free since - touch Rose - mid October, and has been in the starting XI in pretty much every match since the beginning of November. Hopefully he can keep up this run. Already probably an upgrade on Dier and definitely an upgrade on Wanyama, will save us a few bob in our attempts to rescue CM. And, unlike most, will actually be proud to play for the badge.

 

He looked good in preseason and on his debut against Newcastle before his injury and I’m convinced he’d have got a lot of game time that season if he hadn’t suffered. I really hope he gets through the rest of the season doing well at QPR and then gets a chance to step up with us.

 

Well this is getting easier to compile...

Luke Amos: QPSpurs vs Swansea (Sunday 2:01pm)
Jack Roles: Cambridge vs Macclesfield (Saturday 3:00pm)

 

Jack Roles was subbed at half time in Cambridge's 1-0 loss to Macclesfield

 

Luke Amos wasn't in the squad for QPSpurs' 5-1 win over Swansea, although this may be a condition of his loan. I guess we'll find out in the next round, eh?
