Will Lankshear praise, Alejo Veliz joy, Mikey Moore Rangers struggle and Jamie Donley frustration

There were mixed fortunes for Tottenham's big group of loan players as they continue their development away from the north London club.

Spurshave sent out 11 young players across the Football League, Scottish Premiership and also one to South America with more set to follow them before the transfer window closes next week. Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank ran the rule over all of the youngsters within his squad over the summer and now many of them are out and about getting first team exposure at various levels of the game.

Some have a bright future at Spurs, some are trying to prove that they should have one while others are simply putting themselves in the shop window for a future move.

Here's how Tottenham's loan army got on at their respective clubs this week.

Alejo Veliz (Rosario Central)

Alejo Veliz continues to get minutes aplenty back in his happy place of Rosario Central. The 21-year-old always would take the chance to return to his Argentinean club during any spare time he had while at Spurs or on his various loan spells and now he is back in the colours of the side where he has made 69 appearances and scored 20 times.

At the weekend the big striker played the full 90 minutes as Rosario won 1-0 at home in their big derby against Newell's Old Boys and it continued a run of six consecutive starts since he came home. Veliz netted last week in the 1-1 draw against Deportivo Riestra with a powerful header from a deep cross.

This loan marks a far more successful period for Veliz after a couple of spells in La Liga which brought mostly moments from the bench.

After the derby win, Veliz posted on Instagram: "Rosario is from CENTRAL. How nice to live these unforgettable moments, eternal thanks @rosariocentral. This is the way, together for everything."

Mikey Moore (Rangers)

Mikey Moore has come to a Rangers side in a big spot of turmoil as they struggle under new boss Russell Martin. For a team that is expected to win all the time domestically, the Glasgow giants have drawn all three games so far in the Scottish Premiership 1-1 and were played off the pitch for much of their 3-1 home defeat to Club Brugge in their Champions League qualifying round first leg tie.

Moore has played in the past three games after having to wait for his 18th birthday to get his international clearance. He grabbed an assist on his debut in the league cup win against Alloa, and then came on for the final 20 minutes of the Champions League tie.

On Sunday, the teenager was brought on at half-time with Rangers 1-0 down at St Mirren and played his part in the visitors at least taking a point from a match they got plenty of criticism for. In most of the player ratings dished out by local media, Moore was handed either a six or a five for his second half showing.

Alfie Dorrington (Aberdeen)

Alfie Dorrington played the first half of Aberdeen's Europa League play-off first leg against Romanian side FCSB, formerly known as Steaua Bucuresti, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

The Dons defended poorly in the first half and even though he was not involved in the visitors' first half goal, the 20-year-old was sacrificed at the break as part of a triple substitution only for the poor defending to continue one minute after the restart when his replacement Mats Knoester was involved in a mix-up that led to a second goal for FCSB.

Aberdeen did get their act together with two goals in the final half an hour to give them something to go into the second leg with on Thursday night.

Dorrington had no match at the weekend as Aberdeen exercised their right to postpone their Scottish Premiership match against Dundee United as it fell between the two play-off legs.

Will Lankshear (Oxford United)

Will Lankshear got another 68 minutes under his belt as Oxford lost 1-0 at Birmingham in the Championship on Saturday.

The Oxford Mail handed Lankshear a six in their player ratings with some praise for his efforts in their review: "Battled hard to hold up the ball and feed off the scraps that came his way against two robust centre halves."

The 20-year-old striker had got on the scoresheet last week with a low volley early in United's 3-2 defeat at Hull City and Oxford are still waiting for their first points of the new season.

Alfie Devine (Preston North End)

Alfie Devine helped Preston continue their strong start to the Championship season with 73 minutes in the midfield as Preston won 1-0 at home against Ipswich.

The 21-year-old was handed a 6.5 in the Lancashire Post's player ratings with the review: "Lively again and some driving runs. Final pass occasionally eluded him."

Devine had netted an excellent goal for North End last week in their 2-1 win against Leicester after rounding the keeper and sending home a curling shot from a tight angle to open his account for his new club.

Yang Min-hyeok (Portsmouth)

Yang Min-hyeok had to watch on once again from the bench on Saturday as Portsmouth drew 1-1 at West Brom in the Championship.

The 19-year-old South Korean has played just 23 minutes in the league so far and has been an unused sub in the past couple of games in the competition.

Yang will be hoping to get a chance to show what he can do as Portsmouth host Devine's Preston this Saturday at Fratton Park.

Ashley Phillips & Jamie Donley (Stoke City)

Both Jamie Donley and Ashley Phillips also had to watch on from the bench as 10-man Stoke City held on for a 2-1 win at Southampton.

The Potters' good form this season with three wins from their opening three games has meant the two Spurs loan stars have had to take whatever limited chances they have been given by boss Mark Robins. With a long season ahead they both will know that opportunities will still come and Donley in particular had this same scenario at Leyton Orient last season before becoming a star in their play-off run.

That could come on Tuesday night with a Carabao Cup second round clash against Bradford at the bet365 Stadium.

George Abbott (Wycombe Wanderers)

George Abbott got taken off at half-time with Wycombe 2-1 down at the break thanks to two goals just before the interval from Reading. The hosts grabbed a share of the spoils though with an 89th minute leveller from James Tilley.

Football League World had given Abbott a six in their player ratings before his exit from the action. The 20-year-old midfielder had played 77 minutes in midweek in the 1-0 home defeat to Exeter City.

He will be hoping for more minutes on Tuesday night as Wycombe travel to Bromley in the Carabao Cup second round.

Damola Ajayi (Doncaster Rovers)

Damola Ajayi was another who had to watch on from the bench as Doncaster won 1-0 at Port Vale in League One.

The 19-year-old winger will be hoping to play in Tuesday night's Carabao Cup second round clash at Accrington after scoring his first goal for Doncaster in the previous round with a deflected low finish in the 4-0 win at Championship side Middlesbrough.

Tyrese Hall (Notts County)

Tyrese Hall got another 29 minutes to his name in League Two as Notts County drew 2-2 at home with Bromley on Saturday.

The 19-year-old midfielder is taking his first steps into the senior game and has come off the bench in four of County's five games so far this season.
