I'm really shocked to hear that his loan spell was not successful.[LNB]'John has played his part in helping Brentford get to where they are. He is a capable kid - well capable at Championship level - although he may not be ready for the Premier League.[LNB]'I would like to think he will be a footballer at some level, who knows, but he is young. He has gone back to Tottenham, that's the club where he is at and he will get his head down and work hard again.'[LNB]It is the second time already in his young career that Bostock has courted controversy. He left Crystal Palace under a storm cloud two years ago with Eagles chairman Simon Jordan lambasting both Bostock senior and junior for their handling of the move to White Hart Lane.[LNB]The player has struggled to make any impact at Spurs despite arriving with a tag of one of Britain's most promising players.
