All sorts of LCFC media coverage about him and then suddenly gone.... to be replaced by another right back presumably on a higher salary. Bit weird...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's played full back for a few years but it does seem we like to coach our academy players to play across defence. Either way the signing of Ramsay seems a squad filler.

Dirkster the Fox Posted 28 August 2018 Share Posted 28 August 2018 11 hours ago, Foxy-Lady said: He was exactly the same player and same physical size as a 16 year old for Tottenham, only then his bigger size and strength gave him an advantage over his smaller peer group and he looked a good player. Now that his peer group have developed physically and gained in experience, the key advantages he had have been negated and he looks very average. Its no great surprise that Spurs released him and im equally certain that with their record of developing young talent, if they thought that a bit of time and coaching could make him a star, they wouldn't have released him. Do you really think that Beaglehole will be able to make him a better player than Pochettino and his staff could have done? Good points. So the opposite effect with Harry Kane then? My next door neighbour (Spurs Fan) still jokes with me that Spurs fans apparently think we almost ruined Harry Kane on loan and they desperately dragged him back to save his career. Jokes aside, I seem to remember in 2013 he was young/average impact playing for us in the 13 total appearance (same age as Loft is now). I don't profess to knowing Ryan Loft will / won't be a future star and may well end up a lower league player at best. All I saw last night was lots and lots of effort, which is great to see and glimpses of something worth working on. So who knows, but certainly not "heinous" per other persons quote.

Could've sworn in an interview Kane said NP had helped or his time at Leicester had been a real eye opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By same logic, if he was any good, would Spurs have released him? Also, if Thandi wasn't any good, why all the media coverage about him....or was that just a PR stunt to cash in on his ethnic background?

Dan LCFC Posted 3 September 2018 Share Posted 3 September 2018 Why do we hoof it all the time? Choudhury drops into space and the centre halves don't want to know. They opt for hoofing it out wide even when under no pressure. Just bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
