It has been another week of action for Tottenham Hotspur's loan players with minutes across England and the continent at their new clubs.
Spurs have a contingent of loan players spread out across the Premier League, Football League, Germany, Netherlands and Turkey, with some of them youngsters getting experience, some trying to secure themselves a permanent move away and others simply looking to catch head coach Ange Postecoglou's eye before a final decision has to be made next summer on their future.
Here's how Tottenham's eight loan players got on this week away from the Postecoglou nest.
Tanguy Ndombele
Tanguy Ndombele is yet to start a match since moving to Galatasaray, having got 15 minutes from the bench on his debut against Samsunspor, then 14 minutes against Copenhagen in the 2-2 Champions League draw in midweek before on Saturday getting another 10 minutes as a substitute in the 2-1 Super Lig victory at Basaksehir.
After having to come back from a 2-0 deficit in that Champions League game at home against the Danish side, Turkish pundits did not hold back on the Galatasaray players and Ndombele in particular was singled out by Sky Spor's Batuhan Karadeniz.
The pundit criticised the Frenchman's fitness levels and was quoted in Sport Witness as saying: "Ndombele was more ready when he came on last game, but I saw him in yesterday’s game and he was in worse condition. What did you do, brother? Did you eat Istanbul? You will get a nutritionist and get a scale to check your condition. Is this how you play football?"
Former Spurs defender Davinson Sanchez made his debut for Galatasaray in the victory on Saturday at Basaksehir, playing the full 90 minutes.

Sergio Reguilon
Sergio Reguilon got another start under his belt for Manchester United, playing 79 minutes of their 1-0 win at Burnley on Saturday and could have had an assist had Jonny Evans not been offside when he headed in the Spaniard's corner.
Reguilon got a seven in the Manchester Evening News' player ratings with the review: "Delivered one of United's best corners in recent memory that Evans headed in; alas it was offside. Maintained his reasonable performance level. Came off injured."
After the game, United boss Erik ten Hag said it was something else that was troubling the 26-year-old rather than an injury: "Reguilon was ill. That tells you something about character and spirit they want to show. He was ill but wanted to play, wanted to support and contribute for the team."
Reguilon also started United's 4-3 defeat at Bayern Munich in the Champions League, coming up against former Spurs team-mate Harry Kane. Despite the defeat, the Manchester Evening News labelled him "United's best player on the night".
Joe Rodon
Joe Rodon can count himself unfortunate after being handed the softest of yellow cards before receiving a second booking and then a red card on the hour mark as Leeds drew 0-0 at Hull City in the Championship on Wednesday night.
Leeds Live gave him a rating of five with the review: "Comfortably dealt with anything coming his way from Hull and always seemed to have enough speed in reserve to get on top of the home attackers. However, two yellows left Leeds in the lurch, even though there could have been question marks on both of them."
That meant the Welshman was suspended from playing in the 3-0 home victory against Watford on Saturday afternoon.
Rodon had been earning plenty of plaudits for his role in the heart of Leeds' defence and had started the previous five Championship matches in a row for Daniel Farke's defence after coming off the bench late on for his debut at Birmingham.
Djed Spence
Djed Spence suffered an injury to his lateral collateral ligament in his knee following a challenge during training this month and the right-back will miss eight weeks of action for loan club Leeds.
"The injury is not expected to require surgery and we expect Djed to return to play within eight weeks. We wish Djed a speedy recovery," said a statement on Leeds' website last week.
Japhet Tanganga
Japhet Tanganga has switched to Bundesliga side Augsburg on loan with an option for the German outfit to buy him, which becomes an obligation if certain conditions are met.
The 24-year-old Spurs academy product however arrived with a knee injury with some suggestions in Germany that he will return to action next month.
Augsburg picked up their first Bundesliga win of the season at the weekend with a 2-1 win at home against Mainz despite being reduced to 10 men following midfielder Arne Engels' red card just after the hour mark.
Troy Parrott
Troy Parrott scored his first senior club goal outside of England after coming off the bench to net for Excelsior Rotterdam in the 88th minute in their impressive 3-0 win at Heerenveen.
The 21-year-old received the ball on the edge of the box and curled a beautiful shot into the top right corner, leaving the goalkeeper helplessly watching on.
The Republic of Ireland international will now be hoping to force his way into the starting line-up. Up next is the derby against Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday.
Parrott explained when he joined: "I deliberately chose Excelsior and that's why I'm especially happy to be here now. I had conversations here with the trainer Marinus Dijkhuizen and technical manager Niels van Duinen. The story they told appealed to me.
"The way Excelsior plays football and the club's ambitions suit me. I have also gathered information from others and I think football in the Netherlands is more technical than in the English championship. I think that way of playing football suits me and that is why I think Excelsior is the right choice for me now."
Dane Scarlett
Dane Scarlett got another appearance to his name in the Championship as he came off the bench for 12 minutes at the end of Saturday's 4-3 victory for Ipswich at home against Blackburn. The 19-year-old also played 19 minutes on Tuesday night in the 1-0 win at Southampton.
The Tractor Boys are ploughing a furrow up the table and sit second under Kieran McKenna's stewardship, with seven wins from their first eight matches and 17 goals scored, albeit with 10 conceded.
Ipswich's form and goalscoring has meant Scarlett has needed to be patient but in McKenna the England U21 international has a big admirer so those minutes will continue to rack up.
On Tuesday night, Ipswich welcome Premier League side Wolves and McKenna has hinted at changes to his team, which might mean a first start for the young Spurs striker.
Alfie Devine
Alfie Devine was a substitute in Port Vale's 1-1 draw at Cambridge United in League One on Saturday.
The 19-year-old had started the previous two matches after his heroics before the international break with his assist and then last-gasp penalty at Oxford. On Tuesday night he got 63 minutes to his name from the start in the 3-2 home defeat to Burton Albion.
Devine is taking his early steps into senior football and has been drawing plenty of praise for adaptation so far.
