Malachi Hardy

Oh no, I'm sorry, I'm referring to the Premier League.

Uh, even against Brentford where we were already 3-0 down and you know, there was space to give him that Premier League debut and, and not just him, you know, Malachi Hardy I think had a fantastic, you know, pre-season and he's been very impressive.

Jamie Donnelly.

And we are just not allowing our youth to grow and break through.

actually it's not new, but, you know, we often see these young players looking quite good on pre-season tours.

And so this season we had Williams Barnett, we had Malachi Hardy particularly standing out, and one or two others as well.

But Kev, I mean, quite often you see these players starring in pre-season tours and you never hear of them again, right? So maybe, as you said earlier, maybe they're experts.

They can see these players.

So there are loads of players in the under-21s who had loans previously, or I think are ready for loans now and probably aren't learning a lot from Premier League 2.

You know, Therese Hall is a player we... talked a lot about in the past and uh you know he's been nominated for PL2 player of the month for September but you know was out on loan last year did did well uh probably not learning a lot um not probably not learning a lot with Arrington once at this stage you know Malachi Hardy um who was training with the England men's senior team during this international break for those up with the with the youth teams there who's training with the first team you know we saw him in the summer probably a player who needs to be stretched more you know Calum Olesesi Alfie Dorrington we talked a lot about his loans and you know Luca Williams Barnett are all players who probably know you know got as much as they're going to get out of under 21s football I think at this time what do you think guys?

I think it's great to see the number of goals that they've scored for a start.

Maybe I'll end up repeating that when we talk about the under-18s.

So, you know, it's two completely different situations.

You've got two completely different types of, you know, but they're both in the same squad.

I mean, Malachi Hardy, the manager spoken about, right? Ola Sessi, I agree.

Tyrese Hall.

Obviously, that's something they can activate if they want to move him higher up the pyramid.

Just your reaction to that very quickly, Ali, and also a little bit of news on Malachi Hardy this week as well.

Yeah, so recall clauses kind of with academy players are pretty standard.

You know, pretty much you'll always see them have that option exactly for the reason you just said.

But yeah, it's just 17 players out there right now on loan for Spurs, and we're keeping an eye on them every single week for you.

We are.

Malachi Hardy as well, just wanted to touch on him.

He got the chance to train with the England senior team, which is a fantastic experience for him this week at St George's Park.
