A great Athletic article on our youth recruitment in London (copied from the other site): Saturday afternoon in the north London postcode of N22: on White Hart Lane a steady stream of fans make t

Superb article from The Athletic published today... Gives you a real sense that something special is being built. We've been crying out for this for so long.   Michael Walker 2h ago  2 

The Times interview today with Chuba. I’ve missed all the pics out as I don’t know how to get the whole article across and it’s behind a firewall, but you get a good feeling of what he thinks.

You could show Britt's goal and say the same, snippets from friendly games is really not gonna be a valuable indication of how the season will go

True. Every season pre season friendly results are scrutinised but in truth they offer little indication of what we can expect when the real stuff starts.

I'm guessing until 2pm on 20 June we won't know which of the out of contract players are willing to play. Unless people get snippets of gossip. But out of excitement here's my possible team.

4-1-3-2 or 4-2-3-1

Stojanovic

Coulson

Spence

Moukoudi

Fry

Saville

McNair

Roberts

Wing

Fletcher

Assombalonga

 

Pears

Tavernier

Wood

Nmecha

O'Neill

Morrison

Hackney

Boro could be the exception though!

Would we be able to play Sam Stubbs, Ste Walker, Ben Liddle and Isaiah Jones? 

I'm sure FIFA or UEFA said that loan players wouldn't be allowed to be re-registered at their parent clubs if their loan clubs seasons had been cancelled.  Although it was at the start of all this, so they might have changed their stance by now.

And has anybody heard anything about Pears' new contract?  I thought that was supposed to be close to getting signed around the same time as Spence's but it's all gone quiet now.

Stubbs has played for two clubs this season so I don't think would be allowed anyway. Not sure on the others.

I am confident from the 7  out of contract players that Howson Shotton Friend, Marv and Clayton will be involved if fit. The big question marks are over Ayala and Rudy imo.

But having them 5 available significantly boosts the squad.

It does indeed but I bet Woodgate is having to assume worst case. They are allowed to agree terms with other clubs after 24 June. No way Ayala is playing for us. Would be surprised if Clayton did. Friend probably will as may be offered coach role. Howson hopefully will sign new deal. Johnson may sign back up as low cost option for next season.

I'd bet the out-of-contract players that are playing the friendlies (Shotton, Clayts and Marv) are the ones who've already agreed to play-on.

Howson in pic 29 on website from yesterday's game. So i expect them 4 to be involved if fit. I assume Friends lack of involvement was fitness not contractual which does just leave Ayala and Rudy.
