Welcome Will, hope you can make a large impression.

Very similar words to what was being said when we signed another one of Spurs' "most highly regarded youngsters in the country", but hopefully this will be more fruitful. Not criticising Scarlett, just it didn't really work out, so he was recalled.

Welcome Will, looking forward to seeing you tear oppositions to shreds 💛💙

Apparently he is rated higher than Scarlett.
 
Played 11 games for the Baggies in the 2nd half of last term. Anyone know how many minutes he actually played? Were most of them from the bench?
 
Very pleased with this and hopefully a chance for him to really kick on as he's not had a lot of senior football so far. West Brom fans fairly complementary about him and he should fit in with how Rowett wants to play. As others have said more highly rated than Scarlett who I thought was clearly our best striker last season.

Delighted that we've finally got some numbers up top now, it's probably going back to the Appleton days when we had multiple genuine options. Finally we don't have to flog Harris and can take him out if he's not scoring rather than being forced to play him which will hopefully benefit his game. Well done all.
 
Came on as a sub in 2-0 defeat to the Baggies in february
 
A Spurs fan tells me he is more ‘old school’ than Scarlett and top quality. Should suit the Rowett style of play.
 
Welcome to the club Will, here's hoping it is a successful loan spell.

I liked Scarlett last season, for all his flaws he was a the most natural goalscorer/poacher we had. Here's hoping Will can add more of the same, with a bit of physical presence as well.

Thanks, so thats a total of 346 mins played (across 11 matches), of which 240 were starts (4 matches) and the other 106 were from the bench (8 matches).

Wednesday : ⬆️ 23
Blackburn : ⬆️ 34
Millwall : ⏬ 57
Us : ⬆️ 13
Burnley : ⬆️ 16
Hull : ⬆️ 4
Norwich : ⬆️ 5
Sunderland : ⬆️ 11
Watford : ⏬ 74
Coventry : ⏬ 45
Derby : ⏬ 64

Decent amount of Championship experience from his first loan then, so knows what he's getting into. Sounds promising!


EDIT - Corrected from my earlier post (I'd missed his appearance at Watford) - thanks @OUFCGav

Seems to be some consistent thoughts from Spurs fans. My Spurs season ticket holder mate rates him.



It does look like we’ve signed some players with physicality this Summer. We’re certainly not going to be pushed around this season, and could have even more targets for our set pieces.
