Harrison Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Good luck to the kid. I’ll be interested to see how he copes at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Very happy to see this happen. One of the reasons I thought that being owned by Manchester would be good was that we would see young players come out from the EDS and spend a season with us on their pathway to bigger things. He's not from Manchester, but that's immaterial to me, and I'll watch with interest to see how he goes. Indeed, welcome Shayon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting. His professional career so far (as a striker): 14 appearances (4 starts) for Yeovil Town in League 2 for 1 goal 13 appearances (5 starts) for Southend in League 1 for 0 goals He hasn't played a competitive match since last season. I guess he has spent most of this season injured as he didn't appear for Spurs U/23s for 3.5 months between September and January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) I feel a bit weary Aleague clubs getting in young Visa players. Sure, one or two wont matter. But if it sets a precedent? Edited February 1, 2019 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a change from washup players. As to Harrison himself, well obviously some people rate him or Spurs never would have signed him. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do. Welcome Shayon.

This, if its a visa player then its no different to the 32 yo we would have signed in their place. Indeed i think it could be a major marketing angle to for the A League. Come and see the up and coming stars of Europe before they make it big, rather than the washed up stars of years past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afif Adam Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 wouldn't be surprised if he never starts any our games, if warren signed him as a striker than we might just see him an an impact striker after the 75 minute mark for Maclaren unless we play a 442 or a formation with 2 strikers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I think the confusion here could be the use of the word Forward/Striker, having had a look at a few Spurs Forums they saw him more as a Support Striker/Inside Forward more than a flat out centre forward.

I was led to believe that the EPL clubs sign heaps of players and watch them develop. The fact that he is playing in the Leagues does not really indicate that he is that talented. Lets not forget that Curtis Good was signed by Newcastle (British flavour) on a 7 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 We really don't know how good he is. He is on the EPL club book therefore should have some quality. It's not the same case as Caceres. If he's a coming star he should have been playing in UCL not in lower leagues. Regarding our two youth forwards, Najjar looks much more in place.

Afif Adam Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 After 2 or 3 weeks it’s fair to assume that Jamie and Harrison should be in contention for starters and wales and Berenguer will fight for that wing role 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 And I think he'll start. No point in bringing him here for just 10 matches otherwise. I'm very hopeful that he'll star for us. Tottenham know what they're doing with young players, and he's trained with the senior England squad. He can't be a mug. If we can't use his talent then we're the mugs. His potential is just about the only thing keeping me interested in the club at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes to score goals and his chemistry with JM is already developing nicely, which is great. So will we go with two up front I wonder.
