Ex-Player Thread Will Lankshear

It's a weird position for Lankshear. He must be desperate for his club to get relegated as that will potentially have a huge, positive impact on his career. If Spurs stay in the PL he's back out on loan at somewhere like West Brom or Wrexham. If they get relegated he's on the bench minimum for them and will get a good share of starts. Highly likely too they'd romp the Championship and then he'd be part of a PL squad.

I don't think we'd have had a chance if we'd stayed up personally. And I think there's no chance Spurs will want him to continue his development in a league lower.

By why would Spurs what to help teams in the league they will probably be playing In next year. Unless a prem team comes in I do think there is a chance

If they are in the championship he will probably be part of their squad?
 
How long have we been banging on about getting a striker in on every transfer period , I’ve lost count. Are we playing Sparky as the main striker?
 
Abou Sall - He never lost the ball whilst playing for us - not once.

As relegation is now confirmed do we have to play the waiting game again. Strike while the irons hot , it’s like a 20 stone person going on a diet , slim down and choose the right diet !

It begs the question (the sort of which you pose in the summer, when you have nothing to play for or when your fate has been decided), who are the top five most effective loan signings we’ve ever had?

With Will Lankshear, I’d certainly put Paul Gerrard and George Baldock. Whilst we signed him later, Rob Hall in his first spell as a 17 year old was electric. Conor McAleny with two hat tricks can’t be looked past either.

Honourable mentions: Phil Edwards and for one specific moment Kyle Vassell. Lee Holmes for his two assists against them too.

(Omit loans we made then turned to permanent deals such as Chey Dunkley, Matty Taylor, James Constable and Kemar Roofe - we just want players who were here briefly.)

Jordan Graham is the player who stands out amongst all those I’ve seen in our shirt for just being at the wrong level. He could beat his man and deliver a pinpoint cross at walking speed.

If I recall correctly, we had him for about a month before Wolves brought him back to start in the Championship. In fact, a quick search tells me he got 8 assists in 11 games for them before the injuries kicked in. Which is absurd.

Had to look him up, never remembered him at all. Thought first of Carl Sanders who played fullback for Oxford City and was my sports master at Cheney in the fifties.

Really random one. His goal ratio at Bristol Rovers was really good but think he was about 30 when he joined us, so back in those days his best days probably gone!

I remember reading somewhere the half a dozen games he played he never lost a game he started, never won a game he started, and never finished a game he started!

The word legend is banded around too often these days, however in this case...

Are you suggesting we try to get Akinfenwa out of retirement? :)

Marco Gabbiadini and Imre Varadi have got to be in the conversation.
