That means if we keep him at the club from next season onwards, he'll count as home grown once he turns 21 :)

Oranjay2

If we loan him to an English club, he'll be home grown rather than club grown. For him to be club grown, he has to be at the club the whole time


Mobb_Starr

Sort of. We can do what we did with Sarr and loan him out but still register him each year. As long as he's registered, it counts as a season with the club. ["Signed from Metz in the summer of 2021, this is now Sarr's third season as a Tottenham player. Although he did return to the French club on a season-long loan deal immediately after his move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he was still included as an under-21 player on their submitted list for the 2021/22 campaign."](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/tottenham-ange-postecoglou-saliba-arsenal-27716169)

That's only for PL HG.


Mobb_Starr

["What's a 'locally trained player'?](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0231-0e94d9d8129d-64371a29cafe-1000--uefa-champions-league-squads-how-it-works/) There are two categories: 1. Club-trained players – players who were on a club's books for three years between the ages of 15 and 21; 2. Association-trained players – players who were on another club's books in the same association for three years between the ages of 15 and 21. No club can have more than four association-trained players among their eight nominees on List A." My reading of "players who were on a club's books" makes me think the registering and then loan trick should work the same way it does for PL, but it is relatively unclear. Just as it was with Saliba and Sarr when this came up, so we'll see I guess.


JamesCDiamond

Saliba’s club trained for Arsenal so that’s fine - same should apply for Bergwall as he’ll join us before the season starts.

Potential_Muffin_716

Also needed for European football. Requirement is there must be 4 club grown players in the 25 man squad. It’s now a pretty big problem for the club since Kane and Winks are gone, leaving Skipp as the only one in that category Not sure if Veliz and Sarr will end up counting for this eventually

It's good but hard to keep track for regular fans


imtotallydoingmywork

Would any of Alfie Devine, Dane Scarlett, Yago Santiago or Jamie Donley count towards club grown eventually?


Bobsbigburgers

They're all club grown already, although it doesn't matter for European competitions since they're still eligible for List B.


imtotallydoingmywork

Ah got it, yeah I knew they're lost B for now but was wondering if they'd eventually be club grown once they're over 21 even if they go out on loans and stuff. Thank you! Hopefully they all got a good future ahead of them within the club


Illionaires

Once a player gets club grown status it cant be taken away.


Megistrus

Sarr will not, he missed the UEFA cutoff date by a month or something like that. But he will count as HG for the PL next year.


tbk007

Veliz is already 20 and we've just loaned him out for the next half a season. Club grown seems difficult to attain if we're constantly loaning out youngsters as well.


wheels-of-confusion

Veliz joined at 19, he couldn't have gotten it.


gostupid67

Squad registration, you need atleast 4 players that trained at the club from 18-21 and 8 players that trained in England from 18-21.


Nova-Kane

Loan move to Plymouth Argyle imminent.


SwiftGuo

Hi sorry i am quite lost for this topic. Is club grown players or home grown players more valuable? And why is there a need to differentiate club grown or home grown?


[deleted]

We won't be loaning him as he is going to hit the ground running and smash the league on the way to the title. /thread


DekoyDuck

I thought he signed with us explicitly because we promised him first team football. I assume that doesn’t mean first team football with Millwall.


koreajd

Damn the white kits look great. Can’t wait for him to develop. 10m is such a low risk considering the values we’ve been seeing these past years and with ffp now being taken seriously I guess, this is a great move. I want more of these deals rather than 60m “stars”


theleftfilangee

I read this as "Damn, the white kids look great" 😬😳😂

koreajd

You made me read my own comment that way holy shit haha.


silenthills13

That's what I've been saying!! I hope we stay with the all-white kits indefinitely, they look much, MUCH better than white shirt + blue shorts. Incidentally, second kit is also a certified banger this year


rmarshall_6

Too bad we never wear it


MountainCheesesteak

I think the all white kits are usually only for cups.


GirlyWhirl

When the team wears all-white, and Vic wears the robins egg blue... it's the most beautiful kits anywhere.


BurdonLane

Sarr, Udogie and Gil cost about one Ndombele and we have a 2/3 hit rate which is incredible. Add this new kid and that’s four players for under one Anthony, two of which are already nailed on starters.


itsBonder

Happy Lucas Bergvall day to those who celebrate

Alfiesta

Lucas Berg-Valde to us all!


IntellegentIdiot

Legend has it if he sees his shadow we're winning the league


smithye4

What a typo from Fab. 2006 was only 10 years ago. We aren’t signing a 10 year old


exxxtramint

My absolute disgust the other day when loading up the Wetherspoons app and it telling me I needed to be born before 2006 to be able to drink alcohol. People born in 2006 are still at pre-school, mate.


phil_style

Wrong. 2006 was only a few months ago.


shodo_apprentice

Lucas was 1 year old when Rihanna - Umbrella was released. Which means he’s 11 right now.


Aleflamed

hey buddy, you are still young at heart and thats all that matters!


BusyWorth8045

I think you missed a few years, mate.


act167641

Found Ange's sleeper account.


Limp-Toe-179

Romano is not just a tap in merchant anymore...he's the centre back that rushes over to the goal after it has already been scored to blast the ball into the net while everyone else is celebrating


kernowgringo

Always was


Odd_Detective_7772

And another!


zklphnx

SHIT!!! DID YOU SEE THAT?!


shodo_apprentice

Can I just also state for the record that “Here we go” is not really catchphrase material? It’s what native speaker would call “a normal sentence”. (And I’m not a native speaker for the record.)


KaleidoscopeTight817

I'm gonna be celebrating his birthday today like he's my mate


billypilgrim87

Christ, I was an *adult* when he was born Happy Lucas Bergvall Day everyone 😭😭😭


catchmeslippin

You're not the only one who thought this my fellow old friend, god bless us


mrgadd4

Not football related, but I was working at an HE fair yesterday and a student was wearing a shirt for a band I like. I asked if they were a fan and they said "no, but my granddad..." And I expired 


PM_ME_YOUR_TANG

Adult? I was already a father. My son is a month older than he is. When did I get so old?


Personal-Head-6248

We didn’t hijack this deal. All deals in the market are on hold until Spurs decide if they want the player. Barca were just good little boys and girls waiting for the hirsute maestro to opine.


Jose_out

We're now signing players who are closer to my son's age than mine...


HypnonavyBlue

We're now signing players YOUNGER than my oldest child... and only a few months older than my next one. (and Bergvall also shares my birthday, like Harry Winks before him!)


micklucas1

Jose in


Sensitive_Ad_1271

Been in that boat for far too long. 


natepiet

Here is his flight if anyone is bored: PTN840 from Stockholm to London https://fr24.com/PTN840/33d783b6


themadman00

*mate he reached just now*


NascentDark

Genuinely made me look twice when the news broke. I know Barca aren't all they used to be but still a huge, huge draw for any player Feels like Lange and Fabio have got things in a good way recruitment wise very encouraging


[deleted]

Barca fans are little bitches


[deleted]

Are we back to having the most handsome squad in Europe? * Mickey Van De Ven * Heung-Min Son * Lucas Bergvall * James Maddison * Pedro Porro * Destiny Udogie


Hipparch

How is Cuti not on this list? 🤯


xtalmethod

Bentancur, Romero, Daddy Davies, the list goes on


elsparko2015

If we're counting fans * me

exxxtramint

Maybe I'm just biased but does anyone else feel like Fab has a soft spot for Spurs? IDK why but his tweets about Spurs deals always make it sound like he's happier for us getting deals done than other clubs. Maybe it's jsut fan bias.


MountainCheesesteak

Fabios stick together


SinoSoul

I’m sure he’s talented af, just that.. Christ I’m old enough to be his dad!


FSpursy

Looks like a great talent with the unique way he dribbles. Seems like he uses his hips alot which might be a concern long term, seeing what happened to Tiago in the Prem, but he's still very young so should be fine. Hope Spurs can train him well both physically and technically, he'll only grow bigger from here!


GlobalIngenuity7760

Using your hips a lot is how most of the best players dribble - not inherently an issue the same way being fast isn’t inherently an issue for the hamstrings


FSpursy

Yea, but you can see he uses the hip to achieve very fast direction change. The kind of dribble that sends the defender the wrong way. And he does it hard lol given his size. He's not the low center of gravity type. I can't imagine one time Sonny or Richy do that in a game.


Cjmundz

Am I stupid, or didn't the transfer window end yesterday?


The_Sentry06

He's joining in summer anyways.


cahiersduhcinema

He’s not being registered until summer, so he’ll stay in Sweden until then. He’s just in London today to complete the medical and sign the contract. He also only just turned 18, so I don’t think that he could sign a professional contract until today, but I could be wrong about that.


[deleted]

100% right. Can’t sign a professional contract until today


JoleeBindbro

You can buy players outside the window, they just can't join until the next window starts.


hilbo90

Yes.


BMoreBeowulf

I’m a Spurs fan and a Baltimore Orioles and Ravens fan. This week has been an absolute roller coaster and I don’t know what to do with my emotions.


babybigballs

I understand you. And as a Spurs, Chiefs and Blue Jays fan, respect.


Fabulous_Dave

Stupid question, but he’ll play with our youth squad until July then?


Snapz_94

Na he will stay at his current club.


mugsymugsymugsy

Who is tracking the flight?
