Kenneth McEvoy

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

The Peterborough fans weren't enamoured with him from the start. It's disappointing that the likes of Drennan, Burke and McEvoy haven't pushed on.

Training with Colchester with a view to signing on loan until the end of the season.

The fact that Spurs are letting him train with Colchester before a deal is even officially announced is a tad worrying - out of sight, out of mind?

Somewhat surprisingly given an 18-month contract extension: http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/mcevoys-contract-extended-by-spurs-31112636.html

Well Townsend, Mason and Kane had more loans before measuring up than him, Townsend had nine, some of them fairly undistinguished, Kane had four including his last one at Leicester which didn't hint at what he was about to go and do at all.Here's hoping CD.

[Charlie Darwin]

Why so surprised?
It just appeared he was on his way out when he was allowed go on trial at Colchester and then that didn't work out. As CraftyToePoke points out, Spurs players have an oddly chequered history going on loan.

Yeah looked that from the outside. The Colchester move was to get him him experience but he was signed on a
youth deal, also with these loan deals there always a clause that states how much game time he should be given but this was not stated in the deal in error. Also shortly after he signed they got another player with more experience in his position which didn't help. He was unlucky at Peterborough - was in the team and got injured, they then struggled for results which ended up in Ferguson getting the boot.

He's very highly thought of at Spurs, hence the deal.

Likelihood is he'll be sent out on loan again but this is just to get him experience

[Charlie Darwin]

That's good to hear. Not many youth players around now can say they've scored on Victor Valdes.

McEvoy's prospects ranked.

The problem for Kenny is that he's in a position where good players are a dime a dozen, and it will be difficult to break through into a side that is attempting to challenge for the top four. At present he's probably at the League One level, though he has a few years to continue to develop. I think he has the potential to be a solid Championship player, or a useful squad player for a lower-level Premier League club, like a faster Chris Brunt. And maybe that's even giving him the short shrift. After all, just look at Ryan Mason for an example of a marginalized player who came out of nowhere to become a starter. Kenny's got the tools to succeed, but he'll need to continue to push himself, and get a little luck, to make it with Spurs.

[tetsujin1979]

gone on loan to Stevenage for a month: http://www.stevenagefc.com/news/article/spurs-winger-mcevoy-joins-on-loan-2710745.aspx
Starts on the bench for them today

[tricky_colour]

Towards the bottom of league 2 then.

Mind you an unnamed other was at Notts County down in the depths.

No doubt he will Realish the opportunity. :chuncky:

[tetsujin1979]

Looks like McEvoy has returned to Spurs after one appearance for Stevenage, and is now linked with another loan to Preston: http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/championship-club-considering-loan-move-for-tottenham-hotspur-midfielder/#CTQwMBjwcbCwTrd2.97
Remember when Mark Yeates was at Spurs, and Jol called him the next Gazza, but kept sending him out on loan?

Maybe he was hinting he had a drink problem?

[Olé Olé]

That's a huge loan for McEvoy though. He hardly set the world alight at Peterborough or Colchester at League One level so to get a chance in the Championship is great and he'll have Alan Browne to help him settle in, being a fellow Ireland under 21. Nice contingent forming there with Doyle and Cunningham also.

[tetsujin1979]

gone out on loan again, to York City this time until 2nd January 2016: http://www.yorkcityfootballclub.co.uk/news/article/kenny-mcevoy-york-city-tottenham-hotspur-2819817.aspx

[tricky_colour]

York second from bottom of league two.

York hoping to make his loan move permanent: http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/14178669.York_City_hoping_to_make_Tottenham_winger _Kenny_McEvoy_s_loan_move_permanent/
Currently bottom of the league

[tetsujin1979]

his lawyer has negotiated his release from Spurs and he's looking for a move for first team football: https://twitter.com/kennethMcevoy/status/683580363076169728/photo/1

[Olé Olé]

Doesn't look like he's committed to joining York permanently. If they're relegation fodder then he's probably too right. Hopefully a L1 side takes a punt on him with an 18 month contract.

Also, interesting to note that he's married. Looks so young and is only 21.

[tetsujin1979]

thought it was interesting that he used a lawyer, and not an agent. Roy Keane, David O'Leary, David Connolly and Niall Quinn all used a lawyer instead of an agent as well.
if you follow him on twitter, he retweets a lot of stuff from his wife, she keeps a blog here: https://tonimcevoyblog.wordpress.com/

So Keith knows what he will look like in 20 or so year's time.

Wonder if they use the same toothpaste?

Jaysus, Keith didn't waste any time moving in on Kenneth's wife's family.

[tricky_colour]

Opps!! Yea should be Keith, mind you both start with a K so same thing really.

[tetsujin1979]

yes, all things that start with K are the same. Kings, kumquats, kickstarter.com, etc.

That blog is one of the most disturbing things I've wasted 30 minutes reading in recent times. What a nutter.

Even more random than that time Clifford popped up at Leicester.

Even more random than that time Clifford popped up at Leicester. there was a coach at Leicester who had been involved with the academy at Chelsea IIRC

I love the lad on YBIG who comes here, sees posts and then copies them almost verbatim over there - like he did with my original post.

Not copying and pasting articles mind, virtually copying and pasting other people's comments.

[nigel-harps1954]

Holy crap. That's some drop for him.

My bad.

[Olé Olé]

He was on trial at Huddersfield recently, wasn't he? There was an article posted on here a while back regarding his marriage that would really make me question if his head is screwed on at all.

[tetsujin1979]

Alex O'Hanlon was at Huddersfield, McEvoy played one trial game at Forest.

[nigel-harps1954]

Rumoured to be signing for Waterford. Was pictured flying back to Ireland today with his wife and kid and talk of 'book unwritten' or some rubbish.

[greendeiseboy]

Don't think so....

[CraftyToePoke]

Swindon with his old Spurs mentor Sherwood maybe ?
