Is there a sell on clause? he wont be at Spurs for much longer.

 

Think we took more cash upfront when in admin?

 

We cashed in the sell-on clause before the start of the 2008/09 season, not when we were in administration. So no, we won't be getting any sell-on money. Looking on the bright side though, we got Tommy Forecast as part of that deal...

He is an unbelievable talent, i knew he was destined for the big time when i saw him command games from left back, and he really did stand out as our real playmaker from a full back position, which at the time was crazy.

 

Great player, so happy for him.

 

Gareth Bale ran our team most weeks tbh, from left back and at 17 years old, that's extraordinary tbh

nah , theo got the hattrick against croatia - skills

 

Purposely left out Theo as I feel he has made hardly any progress at Arsenal since leaving us, not compared to Bale. His trick seems to be sprinting in to the right side of the box and hitting a ball across the face of goal to score. No skills to turn a player, just speed. I'd even rate Wilshere as a better player already.

And to think we took an early settlement of Tommy Forecast for this lad .....

 

You have to be really thankful that, hopefully, we will never, ever, be in a desperate position such as that again.

 

Hopefully, we'll be able to produce a player in the same ilk as Bale at some point in the near future and maybe we'll be able to hold on to him.

Exactly.

 

A full-back has no right to consistently be man of the match.

Ironic that he was the last of his batch apprentices at Saints to get a contract. Apparently it went to a vote and from what I understand went to the wire, I also know (Albeit second hand and why it wouldnt be fair to name him) a certain senior Acadmey figure voted against offering him a contract as he didnt think he would make it.

 

In fairness though, he has stood out much more as a professional footballer than he ever did as a youth team or reserve player.

 

Great to see him doing well, big big move for him in January or the summer.
