Yeah but according to him, he said he is training with the Spurs and on the team. Not sure if he is on the reserve team or what but don’t think he is playing with a contract. He wants to come back here eventually. Maybe Frank Yallop, will sign him at Monterey Bay Football Club in the USL Championship for the 2022 season?
He is not a Tottenham player in any way. My guess is that the club are just letting him use their training facilities as a courtesy. It is not uncommon for teams to do this when a player is between teams, especially for a player that had a previous connection to the club. Dawkins came up through their academy.
Yeah I know a lot of ex players train with their former clubs. Not sure how he still has intention of playing as he hasn't played in the last 2 years. It must be difficult to train without getting paid.

Kinnear drafted Alashe #4 overall because he was "MLS ready" ... now entering his prime years at 27, he's headed to USL Let's get to work, @FataiPrince27 🏆 pic.twitter.com/FdaDLxoSCC— Sacramento Republic FC (@SacRepublicFC) March 24, 2021 https://www.sacrepublicfc.com/news_article/show/1154195 In hindsight it was a weak draft class, but then many of us wanted the Quakes to draft Cristian Roldan
Fatai was getting runouts for USMNT U23 at one point also IIRC. In retrospect problaby a mistake at #4 overall, but I wouldn't mind having him on the team now as a backup #6. He's much better than Luis Felipe IMO. We have Remedi now but I see the central mid rotation as Yueill-Judson-Remedi; we could use a 4th. Of course it won't happen because 1) Jesse doesn't value MLS veteran players, and 2) whatever the hell happened in that game in 2018 (not sure, but I suspect Jesse might have made the call to remove Fatai at half - regardless Fatai was gone soon after).
Obviously Jesse played a huge hand in how Fatai's transfer played out, and we have to assume Fatai will never be in a Quakes uniform again while Jesse is here. I really thought Fatai would become a USMNT mainstay, but he never seemed to fully recover after I think it was a sports hernia.
What... One, Alashe was never on that trajectory. Two, since when are sports hernias something one doesn't fully recover from? Is there any indication that Alashe is still hampered by this? The bottom line is Alashe went from a somewhat-regular (but never all that impressive) on fairly crappy Quakes teams, to a MLS journeyman, and is now in USL which likely means no MLS team was all that interested in his services (not just "Jesse doesn't like him").... Alashe will be remembered as the trivia answer for first Quakes player to score at Avaya Stadium, and that's about it. There is a serious "Lake Wobegon effect" on this board... likely because so few actually pay attention to the rest of MLS and the world of soccer outside this tiny and mostly irrelevant dead end that is the Quakes. Mike Fucito, JJ Koval, Adam Jahn, Fatai Alashe, even our beloved Tommy Thompson.... the list goes on and on.
Probably not "USMNT mainstay", but he had 12 caps with U23's and 2 goals. And a call-up to USMNT senior team as a 22-year old.
He did. That was the aforementioned sports hernia. He had the surgery in January after leaving camp. Can't really say he never recovered when he played as many games for the Quakes in 2016 post-injury as he did in his rookie season... https://www.mlssoccer.com/players/fatai-alashe His MLS games went 28 injury 28 17 12 11 8+3
He spent time on the injury list with Columbus and Cinncinatti. So I think injuries mounted. He may be back in the MLS.if he can show improvement to his overall health and fitness. He and Tarbell have something the beloved Thompson will never achieve... And MLS Cup. And the majority here over rate and under rate 99.9% of the guys who've worn the Quakes shirts since 2008.
Alashe was a serviceable MLS player. Just like Adam Jahn, Quincy Amarikwa, Shea Salinas, and dozens more former Earthquakes. I can conceive of no way that he'd ever have been much more than that.
I liked him, but that’s my Quakes colored glasses talking. We’ve had very few players who would start on most MLS teams. We are not comparable to other MLS clubs. We need a thorough overhaul, from the top down. I don’t see that happening, so I need to figure out now to emotionally disengage. Go Quakesfans!! - Mark
We've had retread journeymen in Amarikwa and Salinas instead of going and finding better players. I agree though of all the guys we've signed or drafted over the years, all of the mentioned, plus Akanyirige, Beason, Calvillo, Haji, Fuentes, Marie, Skahan, Thompson, Walls on our current roster, very likely wouldn't even make the bench for most of the MLS squads. Its a testament to how shitty we are.
