He scored 2 goals in 5 league starts, out of 14 appearances.

The last goal and last start being in November.

I'm guessing there's a reason that he stopped starting games.

I check every game and he didn't even make the squad for a stretch of games in a row, so I am absolutely not surprised at all.

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

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.  

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

I think they signed him before terminating Walker's loan too.
It sounds like we want him to get more regular minutes somewhere.

Was Walker on loan at MK dons last season as well, or was it one of our other youngsters? 

Don't think it was last season but he has been on loan there before, yes.

I'm sure it was done to death at the time of the interview, but i've just listened to the Downing/Schwarzer interview on Schwarzer's podcast. We seem to have a big problem with the way we treat our players particularly when they're on their way out. Schwarzer admitted that he really wants to have that close affinity with the club but he finds it difficult because of the way he was treated by the hierarchy/Gibson. They mention that Downing, Viduka, Schwarzer and Mendieta all suffered similar fates.

 

These are players we should be celebrating. We can only dream of seeing their caliber playing for us again. Baffling and not a good look for the club.

I agree with you. It's actually pretty disgusting how we seem to have treated some of the best players to ever wear the shirt.

Yeah it's kind of a weird thing to do. Why treat employees badly when you know they talk to other potential employees. Is it Gibson getting a hissyfit when people don't do what he says? But the Viduka thing was never going to end well if it was true that he was demanding a wage that would take more than half our gate reciepts. I'm sure not all players and agents cover themselves in glory and lots of times players can look a their agents behaviour when relationships turn sour.

Yeah viduka is probably an odd one out in that quartet. The downing and schwarzer stuff is well documented and every man and his dog could see we treated mendieta really poorly at the end of his contract. Viduka on the other hand only really turned up when he needed a new deal and went and signed for our rivals so I've not got an awful lot of sympathy for him.
