Olton Ram reacted to SSpurs1882 in Harvey White - signed on-loan for rest of the season
Hi lads, Spurs fan here!
I watch quite a lot of our u21 games so hopefully I can give a fair assessment of where he's at and what he might bring you.
He's a very versatile player, he mainly plays CM or DM but has filled in at LB (our u21s dont have a natural LB) a lot and played at LM. Conte even started him as a false 9 in place of Kane in our post-worldcup friendlies but before you get your hopes up he's not a natural striker! IMO like a lot of creative players his best role is possibly AM in a free role but he's not played there much recently because our u21 team has quite a lot of forwards to accommodate. He was loaned out to Pompey a couple of seasons ago and I believe the club have had loan offers for him pretty much every window since but they've been blocked by the club for various reason which has frustratingly stalled his development a bit. He's got great range of passing and not sure how many of them are on youtube but he's scored some unbelievable direct freekicks over the years in the youth teams. The youth coaches have said he's one of the smartest players they've coached and according to the Pompey manager when he was there he's very easy to coach, "You only have to tell him an instruction once. He's like a sponge and you'll tell him something once and then he'll be doing it. He's so easy to coach, a coach's dream."
Hopefully it all goes ahead and he does well for you and maybe he can go on loan again with you next season in the championship ?

Olton Ram reacted to Comrade 86 in Is "woke" confusing kids
Hilarious that you've not only missed @ariotofmyown's point completely, but also found a way to be offended on his behalf, the colossal irony of which, does rather seem to have escaped your notice.
The balance of your post is one of the most bone-jarringly, asinine conclusions I have ever seen drawn on this forum. Folk construct strawman fallacies every day on these 'off-topic' threads, but yours, by any measure, is an absolute pearler.

Olton Ram reacted to David in January Window
Nobody would expect Wildsmith right wing either, but doesn't mean it's a great idea.
We've got Paul Warne, not Cilla Black screeching surprise surprise on the touchline.
