Spurs did some research on U23 games during Tim Sherwood's time
Apparently virtually no players who play more than 19 U23 games while in the eligible age group end up having a career as a pro footballer

Not that surprising really

It’s a wind up account but I have seen some say drop Walker for him

Indeed. I know far more about football than anyone who would suggest such a thing.

In seriousness and I know it’s said all the time, surely this is doing nothing for Tavares’ development and he needs a loan into league 2?

Yes he won’t be getting near our first team no matter how many he scores at that level.

You would expect a young player who’s played decent amount of senior football to be doing well, Eccles came back from Gillingham and was walking through 23s games

The eligible age group meaning 21+?

Here's a good interview with Tim Sherwood on the subject
Pretty enlightening

Tim Sherwood interview: On Harry Kane, Dele Alli and under-21 football being a graveyard for young players

Tim Sherwood knows what it is like to coach world-class young players but he also understands the challenges they face in the modern game. Here, he tells Adam Bate why talent risks being stunted by a lack of opportunity and youth coaches who prioritise winning over development.

It is. I’m sure we would like to loan more out but the issue is the lack of players and balance, which a big club like Spurs won’t have to worry about.

The ones they have hopes for will be loaned out early or in the first team. Howley will be the next I think

13 goals in 9 u23 matches for tavares

Time for a loan move soon to see if he can step up

Definitely would be good to see him go out on loan. See how he does compared to Cashman and Bapaga.
