Spurs fan here.
I've read that a few of you are a bit sceptical about
signing Mark Yeates on a month's loan. No need. I'm confident that he'll
prove a big hit at the Withdean.
QPR wanted him on loan at the beginning of the season and Ian Holloway
was very disappointed that he got injured in his last pre-season game
for Spurs.
Whichever Spurs fan said that Jamie Slabber is the best prospect at
Spurs doesn't actually know what he's talking about. Slabber will never
make it at the top level. I've seen him often enough. Trust me. Mark
Yeates is the best attacking prospect at the club. The best since Glenn
Hoddle, in most good judges' opinion. That's not to say that he'll be as
good as Glenn, or anywhere near. Then again, there's no shame in that.
Secondly, although he can play in most attacking positions, he's not
really a striker. His best position is in the hole. If he was to be a
striker, it would very much be in the Robbie Keane mould. He's nippy,
has two good feet, dribbles well, is an excellent passer and has an eye
for goal. He's smallish but quite pugnacious. He's also not exactly a
shy lad. Does a lot of talking on the pitch. Full of confidence.
Best of luck with him. Hope it works out for club and player.
P.S. Bobby Z still needs a bit of time to adjust but you can't fault his
attitude and effort. I'm sure the goals will come.
