Tottenham Hotspur have chosen to recall Cameron Carter-Vickers from his loan spell with Stoke City, the Championship club have confirmed.
The 21-year-old will return to North London on January 2nd after a 15-appearance spell with the Potters, who are a lowly 21st in the second tier.
It is fair to say that these Stoke fans on Twitter were pleased to see the back of the American, whose attitude and performances failed to impress.

Watched his first warm up at Charlton away, I said to my lad he’d be rubbish, had a massive chip on his shoulder and couldn’t be arsed. Showed in that warm up and showed when he eventually played.

It’s a minor thing but when he couldn’t remember the name of the stadium in that infamous interview of his, it showed him up massively for me. We aren’t his parent club but have some pride and knowledge of the club you’re representing or at least don’t make it obvious you don’t.

His agent deserves a knighthood. CCV is bang (below) average.

A real pointless signing. At least that’s one less player anyway.

No that’s wrong, terminate his contract do not wish him on any other team

He was very poor all in all. He will be loaned out again by Spurs.

Seemingly, there was an interview in which CCV forgot the name of Stoke’s Bet365 Stadium and their fans have been keen to see the back of him since.
It it Carter-Vickers third loan in the Championship – after Swansea City and Ipswich Town – and he hasn’t really made a major impact at any of them.
The interesting aspect of this development is that the Stoke tweet makes it clear he was recalled by Spurs – and not sent back to us by Michael O’Neill.
That must be with the intent of finding him another loan move – or selling him in January – as the defender is unlikely to feature in Jose Mourinho’s immediate plans, especially considering his insistence that Juan Foyth won’t be going anywhere else in his search of regular football – via Sky Sports.
‘Forgot’ the name of Stoke’s Bet365 Stadium? A likely story, I like the cut of his jib.
Marcus was hyped to high heaven, which isn’t really fair, ( where is he now) too much pressure is put on young players, and then they’re slaughtered if they don’t live up to the hype. I fell for the hype, same as John Bostock and Giovanni what’s is name. I don’t get excited anymore. When Troy Parrott establishes himself in the first team then I’ll get excited.
How’s Edwards an example?
I long ago gave up having high hopes of academy/U21 players. I’ll believe in them when they establish themselves in the first team. Remember Edwards.
