This is the ultimate thread for all the news of our players out on loan and news for how they've done when they played.
August 7
John Bostock scores a screamer from 30 yards out and impressed on his debut for Hull. One of the most key players for them today and according to Hull's website Pearson had to say this about him
"Pearson had words of praise for both Bostock and Ashbee, and not just for their goals.
"I thought John did very well. I don't like players getting booked for taking their shirts off, but I fully understand how excited he was and it was a fabulous strike.
"In many ways he was the difference because players who can produce that moment of brilliance win you matches. He showed both sides of his game and he worked exceptionally hard."
David Button-
Kept a clean sheet for Plymouth vs Southampton today.
Oscar Jansson-
Didn't have the best of days losing in his debut with Northampton Town 3-0 to Torquay.

Where you located?Originally Posted by amerispurs
Yeah I think we'll have about 6 or 7 of them out playing......Caulker is off to Leeds but I believe from what I've heard from ITK's that were keeping Townsend (even though Southampton have asked about him)
Richmond is where I am at. Know these "itk's" from speeddial? I am not sold on Townsend just yet, I haven't seen enough of him to make a decision. However, as much as I would like to see Rose get more PT this year, I would rather see him go to Bolton or another PM team. BTW, I'm the same guy over on that other Hotspur place on the net.
ah right ole ole, thought i recognized your name but thought you were from Georgia for some reason. There is one ITK that is highly regarded (you'll hear otherwise from some lads on here) but I believe his input.
Townsend is going to be very very good, if you read that one post about him on ole ole I agree 100% with that post (it was about 2 weeks ago). He needs to develop and I think playing in the FA/CC will do him good as well as the odd PL game. I think Rose has what it takes as well, he can play numerous positions which only helps his cause to push for a first team place. It's very exciting when you look at all of our potential in the youth set up.
Yeah, the most impressive thing about Rose is the attitude. I think he genuinely wants PT, and that has covered 4 different positions, LB, LM, RM, and CM. I remember him saying that his favorite position is CM. I did read that about Townsend a couple of weeks ago, however I will hold my judgement till he plays quality opponents. He does have a good positional sense, but that can be tricky to see on the tele, but you did go to NYC didn't you?
I think collectively the young players we have coming through that are on the fringe of getting into the squad on a regular basis all have a great attitude, Bostock seemed to be the odd man out but he sounded like hes got his head down after the Hull game today. I'd like to see Rose down the left but I guess Harry will have to sort him out with the more games he gets.
I did go to NYC, what a trip!
My Spurs Vacation!
thats the thread for everything that happened, as well as the photo album for the trip.
Looks like a fun trip. I saw your fotos earlier, and the vid with Bale. Good stuff. Back to the loan debate, after thinking about this today, we may have many many games ahead of us if we happen to make the group stages. I think HR is looking to keep some of the younger ones around to play against "weaker" teams and cups and get some good first team experience. I liken it to how SAF does it at Manure. He has good young players that he sends out on loan, but he always has 2-3 that just seem to be around the first team and get PT. Ie, the da Silva twins, Obertan, etc. It would be nice if we fell into that kind of position where we have gifted youngsters, which I believe we do, who get game time often. To the point where they are pushing for spots in first XI. Rose falls into that category I believe, as does Walker, he looked good in the pre-season, very quick. I am still waiting to see Mason play, read that he has an incredible first touch and a knack for scoring goals from CM/AM. We will see how it goes in the next few weeks, doesn't the season long loan period end at the transfer window?
I like your reference to SAF, I think him and Wenga are the only two managers who can get away with playing youth in cup competitions (or the bravest ones to try them out like that) We have the same sort of abundance in youth and we have picked up some very good youth players over the past 3 to 4 years so hopefully some get a chance this season. However, I think Harry would rather have these lads go out on loan and play week in and week out to gain some experience, which is the same reason why he scraped the reserve team. I think that we should keep Rose, Townsend, and maybe 1 more (Parrett) but this depends on who we bring it. I think Walker and Naughton have both pushed themselves as squad players so I dont see them going out on loan.
Ive seen Mason play only once and that was against SJ Earthquakes but only play for about 20 mins, he is very highly rated at the club so hopefully he can get out and get some experience as well. I'm not sure when the season loan period ends but im guessing its at the end of the window. Sooner or later these kids have got to be given a chance to play but its all about timing so hopefully they get some time before they decide to move on.
Adding to the list....
Townsend to Ipswich, Parrett to Plymouth, Mason to Doncaster.....will post how they've done after their games.
Little round up of the weekend for the young lads
David Button earned the praise of Plymouth manager Peter Reid after Saturday's 1-1 draw against Carlisle in League One.
The goalkeeper produced a stunning save to turn away former Leeds and Republic of Ireland full-back Ian Harte's free-kick before his side found a last-minute equaliser at Home Park.
Fellow loanee Dean Parrett made his debut for the Pilgrims, entering the action at half-time.
"It was a great save," said manager Peter Reid. "I know Harte from when I had him at Leeds and when he stepped up, I feared the worse.
"It was a terrific save because it had plenty of dip on it. The kid looks as though he's got a chance of being a top keeper."
Staying with our goalkeepers out on loan, Oscar Jansson kept a clean sheet as Northampton Town drew 0-0 against Accrington Stanley in League Two.
In the Championship, Andros Townsend and Ryan Mason enjoyed promising debuts for Ipswich Town and Doncaster respectively.
However, the pair suffered differing emotions as their teams drew 1-1.
Andros created the best chance of the first half for Jon Stead after a typical dart down the right at Portman Road before testing Burnley keeper Brian Jensen after a run and shot on target.
He eventually departed after 72 minutes and saw his side take a 1-0 lead a minute from time - only for Burnley to equalise in injury time.
Ryan started in midfield for Doncaster against Bristol City and soon had England's World Cup keeper David James scrambling for a 25-yarder that curled inches wide.
He left the action with five minutes remaining and his side trailing 1-0 - this time though, unlike Andros, he was left celebrating a last-minute goal as Billy Sharp levelled from the penalty spot.
John Bostock went from high to low with Hull in the Championship. After scoring a cracker to help beat Swansea on his debut last week, the midfielder found himself on the end of a 4-0 defeat at Millwall. He played the full 90 minutes.
Nice work Spursman. I was trying to follow the Doncaster and Ipswich games but it is tough reading texts. Hard to get a good feel as to how our loanees are doing. I am hoping one of our guys is on the game of the week for the Championship so I can see them play. Nott Forest was on today, Gunter had quite a stomp on an Arse loanee. Not that I condone it, but does he have a little hatred towards Le Arse?
Looked at the FSC Plus schedule for the rest of the month and unfortunately no teams are on that have our young ones in them. I'd figure Gunter (being an ex Yid) would have some hatred for Le Arse. I'm waiting to hear Caulker going out to Leeds since they were on TV again today.
Well crap. I looked two weeks in advance and didn't see any games either. I am sure over the course of the season we will get to see a few games. I will just have to settle for slow texts and game summaries to see how our yids are doing.
or you could watch some streams, I'll PM you the site that I watch them on.
