Its only recently that spurs have had some great success with getting players. Spurs have properly developed two highly touted youth players theyve bought: Gareth Bale and Luka Modric. And theyre expensive. While they have been huge successes, there is a long list of players they have purchased on the way up that never really hit their potential. Huddlestone and Dawson have been good. Sandro looks like he could come good. But amid that lot are Aaron Lennon, Giovanni Dos Santos, John Bostock, and a few others who joined Spurs with alot of potential and never reached the heights promised.

I'd say three: Sandro is fantastic. Also, I'm not sure it's fair to say John Bostock hasn't hit his potential. He's a year older than Josh McEachran. He certainly doesn't look like the super talent he was supposed to be but it's still early.

Newcastle lining up a bid for him. 7m is the quoted price.

We won't go for him, but we should.

Agreed, but I guess I'd rather see him go to Newcastle than Spurs. Gives us more of a chance to buy him down the road, although he won't be as cheap as he is now.
