The Telegraph is reporting it too.

I'm actually quite jealous, looked composed every game I've seen him for u21s or for Sporting (which is about 4 or 5 times). Could go on to be an important player for England in the future if given a chance. Good in the air and a good footballing brain from what I can see. Perhaps a little suspect to pace.

Really high potential in fifa 14 career mode.

2 years ago he had a run of games in the first team and looked really promising pairing with Ilori towards the end of season, but last year he lost a bit of space, played about 10 games but fairly spread.

Word on the street is that he's making a tantrum to sign a new deal because he wants assurance of game time, which any decent club of course won't accept.

Plenty of potential there, that's for sure, but still pretty raw, not sure what's the situation at Spurs CB wise, though.

Kid at Sporting Lisbon ?? Buy now, no questions asked.

"Glad to know we're so highly praised"

I was a Nextgen watcher, and over those 2 seasons your kids were demolishing their opponents.
The game against Spurs showed just how good
your academy are at drilling the basic competencies into the players.

"Also, is there any truth to rumours that Diego Simeone has lodged a £27m bid for Eric Lamela?"

If it is cash in ASAP

The club has spent the last few weeks hyping up Lamela's pre-season and building him up as the star of the coming year, we won't sell now.

RDBD reckons he went to the NextGen tournaments

"The club has spent the last few weeks hyping up Lamela's pre-season and building him up as the star of the coming year, we won't sell now."

Levy would.

Levy won't

"RDBD reckons he went to the NextGen tournaments"

Probably watched more Nextgen vids of the Sporting Lisbon games, than you have of every available Spurs Academy game.

That Jay Rodriguez on the cheap + decent offer for Lamela will certainly tempt Levy.

Why would I want to watch the kids play

Rather watch the first team, you're not a scout/coach R2

"Why would I want to watch the kids play"

To make comments on how good they are (not) ??
Or are we to assume all comments you've ever made about Academy players is based on games you've seen them play for the "first" team ...

To make comments on how good they are (not) ??

this isn't football manager no one cares about the kids, it's about the first team!

Trying to make out like it's a big thing

I rated him higher than Llori at Sporting

But my opinion sucks anyway

Oh damn...got too used to saying Llori from the lFC board

*Ilori

"Trying to make out like it's a big thing"

Poor old Thudd.
