Now that our academy graduates Harry Kane and Ryan Mason have become first team regulars, I'm wondering who are these reserve/youth players worth keeping an eye on? I've heard that Kenny McEvoy, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Harry Winks could come good and at least a few years ago Alex Pritchard's name was mentioned, but some reports say he could be sold to Brentford next Summer. Probably some of the members of this board are attending youth matches as well, so pleas share a view.

We`ve probably got several players coming through who will get a chance in the first team , do ok , get dropped for an expensive summer signing , move on and become a big hit somewhere else.Such is the spurs way
If your not spurs you`re dead to me

In todays football it is hard for young players to come through when clubs are worried about their position and are very reluctant to take a chance. Farming out young players is one option. But as we've seen if the young players do take their chance they can break through. Who are the next group of kids to come through, well, that is hard to tell. Nobody thought Bale would do it. I read that Rednapp wanted to sell him at one point.
I’ve lived a life that’s full. I’ve travelled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I hope we do give more of our youngsters a chance, so far this season we have definitely seen what they can do.

Mason and Bentaleb and Kane have come on really well, their hunger and desire to put the shirt on really shows in their performances.

I think some of our purchased players (Capoue, Stambouli, Dembele) lack the desire and act as though they have nothing to prove, or at least it seems that way with their lack of movement.

I would like to see some of the players we loaned out this season given a chance in the squad when they return.
