Mauricio Pochettino - England hero

[Tooting Gull]

How many young players has he nurtured and then delivered ready for the England manager at first Southampton and now Tottenham?

More than any English manager in the Premier League, that's for sure.

Lot to thank him for, prepared to give the English kids a chance.

Think he's done really well for himself since his Gavin & Stacey days.

 

[Rogero]

How many has it been?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Goalkeepers apart - and off the top of my head - an outfield 10 of Clyne, Chambers, Dier, Shaw, Alli, Mason, Lallana, Ward-Prowse, Kane and Rodriguez.

Throw in three Pochettino men on the bench - Townsend, Lambert and Walker - and that's not too bad for 3 season's work.

He's a cracking manager and his style of football demands youth, so hopefully a few more will get first team football

I thought Alli was a product of the MKDons academy, or isn't that allowed?

Yeah but he's been at Spurs for a couple of weeks, so it's all down to them.

Clyne played 122 games for Pal**e before Adkins signed him
Chambers - Adkins gave him his debut
Lallana - Adkins
Ward-Prowse - Adkins
Rodriguez played 105 games for Burnley before Adkins signed him

Adkins is the saviour of English football.....

Didn't Sherwood pick Kane etc at first ?

 

[Tooting Gull]

You can get side-tracked on to who may or may not have first played some of these players.

But the point is Pochettino has played them, when he could NOT have played them. And many might not have. And he has improved them.

I think many assumed he was a signing for the future and wouldn't be thrown straight in to the premier league. It's great the Potchetino saw him in training and trusted him to play straight away, not many managers do that
