Spurs trio...

[sonicyouth]

"The three players signed on loan from Tottenham are Nathan Byrne, Massimo Luongo and Dean Parrett."

What do we know folks? I think we all expected Parrett and Ceballos but the other two ring a bell and I think may have been mentioned before.

I signed Massimo Luongo as town manager on fm 2012. He was good in league two, a handy squad player in league one, but not much use in the championship or prem.

Fact (of sorts)

Nathan Byrne has go faster stripes on his eyebrows. I'm expecting a rapid player.

Byrne seems to have had a body transplant

Sort that collar out.

I don't even care about the players. We could have signed Yinka Casal and it still would have given us a big lift around the place. Getting that positive feeling back was always what was most important.

Hi Spurs fan coming in peace.

Congratulations on getting out of your registration embargo and signing on loan 3 of our under 21's.

Thought I would come and give you a bit of a heads up.

1. Dean Parrett is a box to box midfield player, capable of playing as a DM, CM or even no 10 (he played there for E u20's about 18 months ago and was regarded as one of the better players in the England team at u20 world cup then). Has played in several midfield positions for Spurs u21's this season - and a couple of times lately when we've had no fit strikers at u21 level we have played him as a false no 9 eg. Spurs last u21 game when he scored.

Not a prolific scorer but likely to get 6 in a full season, maybe more if played as an AM.

2.  Massimo Luongo is more of a CM, and emergency CB, keeps the midfield ticking over all the time. One of Spurs best players in the u 19 NextGen tournament last season. The Ipswich fans loved him on loan at the start of the season, but that loan came to an end when Ipswich realised they had to many young inexperienced players and they were losing matches causing a managerial change - and Luongo left as result.  Think of a Scott Parker but with a better motor going forward and that's Luongo.

3. Nathan Byrne's best position is as RB but can also play LB and has also played in other midfield and defence positions. Did well at Crawley at RB and fans seemed to like him.


All 3 are good players, and hope they get a few games with you.

Would you do us a favour and keep us updated - perhaps on this thread so I can update other Spurs fans - I usually post on www.spurscommunity.co.uk or www.spursodyssey.com

Cheers - hope to see you in the Championship next season (helped by our players of course) !

Thanks for that, very interesting to have a perspective of what to expect.

Cheers, but I think you're safe from relegation now.

Cheers Spurs fan

 Think this is the first time anyone has used the term "false number 9" on the TEF.  I suspect many of our readers, think it's a reference to someone like Jamie Slabber, but no, it's a sexy Barca/Spain thing. I don't suppose it will get an airing in Div 3.

[BruceChatwin]

Massimo Luongo sounds like the kind of player we might have been missing in centre-mid from that description. Also good to know Bryne can do a job at LB as that might end up where he's most usefully deployed.

I don't suppose it will get an airing in Div 3.

Dunno Reg, KMAC does like a 5 man midfield
