    Why all strikers and midfielders? Phil Jones is a brilliant player and still only 20!

    I sometimes think it may be worth trying Phil Jones in a CDM/CM role. Whilst he's good defensively, he's really good going forward.

    As for the poll, if you think Phil Jones has more potential than Neymar or whoever, please select 'other'.

    Definitely Neymar. He reminds me of a young Cristiano Ronaldo, only better.

    At Neymars age Ronaldo was already a year or two into a better and harder league where physical contact isnt avoided like the plague (exaggeration but still). I wouldnt try to compare them too much.

    I'm certainly not denying his skill and potential but he lacks sportsmanship.

    At Spurs, we only have two first-team-worthy-at-the-moment U22s and they're Andros Townsend and Steven Caulker. Harry Kane is up there at a push. Kyle Walker is our best post-1/1/1990 born player.

    In general though, shamelessly admitting a love for Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wilshere.

    Was either Ox or Wilshere, went for Ox in the end because he is a year and a bit younger, and he isn't currently injured
