There has been praise and criticism for Tottenham's players spread out on loan across the country and Europe this week.
Spurs had sent out 17 players to clubs across the Premier League, Football League as well as Germany, Italy, Portugal and Belgium but that is now down by one as 21-year-old goalkeeper Luca Gunter returned from his spell at National League south side Boreham Wood last week.
Some of the loan army currently out of the north London club have obligations in their deals for their new clubs to sign them if they meet certain requirements, while others have options to make their transfers permanent so need to impress and the rest just want to catch the eye Roberto De Zerbi.
Every week football.london will be keeping a close eye on all of the club's players out on loan across this long and busy season, also including those who have those obligations to leave as they are still on Spurs' books until their contracts officially come to a close in N17
Here's what all 16 of Tottenham's loan players got up to this week with one now returning to the club:

Mikey Moore is looking for his magic moment to kick off his time at Cologne with the Bundesliga outfit managing just one win so far in the league.
Saturday brought a goalless draw at home against Schalke with the 19-year-old playing 68 minutes down the left flank.
German media outlet Bild are said by Sport Witness to have reported that Moore had a 'one to one' conversation with his coach René Wagner this week as he awaits the big moment that will spark his time in Germany to life.
Sporting director Thomas Kessler said: "For Mikey, the focus now needs to be on his continued development here, so that he can position himself to play an important role at Tottenham next year."
Moore had a one-on-one conversation with coach Rene Wagner this week to help him find the net for the first time or register his first assist, with some websites logging one he got for forcing an own goal.
The Koln boss had said last week: "We have players who may not have decided games yet, but they can and will in the future. We will equip them with the confidence they need. But they still need to find their feet because they come from other countries and other leagues, he said.
"Mikey is eagerly awaiting the moment when things click. He already showed in Glasgow, but even there, it took time. If he manages it here, then he’ll also know that he can beat any opponent in a one-on-one situation. Then everything will be a bit easier, but you can’t force it."
Yang Min-hyeok registered his first assist for Westerlo on Saturday and thought he made the difference after coming on for the final seven minutes of normal time and getting tripped in the box by a diving opponent's shoulder.
Shunsuke Saito slotted home the subsequent penalty for what seemed like a 94th minute winner, only for Beveren's Victor Olatunji to be left unmarked in the six yard box at the other end to head home a last-gasp leveller to make it 4-4 in the 102nd minute.
For Yang, the assist comes on the heels of a great first goal for the club this month, but the 20-year-old has had to settle for minutes here and there around his time winning the Asian Games with South Korea.
Westerlo manager Issame Charaï explained this week that he still needs to see more from the Spurs winger and criticised his work rate.
"I haven’t seen enough of that intensity from Yang here so far. Not in training either. He still needs to grow in that area," said the Belgian.
After Souza finally made his official debut for Porto and his first Champions League outing last week, he did not appear in the squad for the Liga Portugal match at Gil Vicente on Saturday.
Porto won 1-0 to maintain their spot, eight points clear of Benfica, who have a game in hand, at the top of the league but there was no room for the Spurs man. Reports from Portugal claim there was no injury for the 20-year-old, just too much competition for him to get a place in the matchday squad.
The Brazilian is at Porto on a free loan for the season, without an option to buy, with his new club taking on his salary and Souza has said he is enjoying the move but the lack of minutes will start becoming a problem for the left-back if it continues.
Guglielmo Vicario started and Pape Matar Sarr came off the bench as Juventus won 2-0 at Lecce on Sunday afternoon.
Vicario, who turned 30 this month, has now made eight consecutive starts in Serie A this season, keeping clean sheets in half of those games, and he made a string of important saves at Lecce.
The weekend's victory came after a 3-0 home defeat to Lazio and a midweek 2-2 draw in Turn with Rennes in the Europa League. The previously in-form Sarr had to make do with a substitute role after being unused against Rennes
Goal.com gave Vicario an eight in their player ratings with the review: "A reassuring presence between the sticks. Vicario made 4 vital saves to preserve the clean sheet, notably denying Youssef Maleh and Willem Geubbels. His distribution was calm, helping Juventus play out from the back under Lecce's intermittent pressure."
Sarr joined the Old Lady in a £2.4million loan deal with certain conditions during this coming season set to trigger an obligation to buy him for £23.5million while Vicario agreed terms on a free loan for the Serie A side, containing an option to buy the 29-year-old for a total of £8.5million, which includes £1.7million in add-ons.
Radu Dragusin and Genoa's difficult start to the Serie A season shows no sign of abating as they lost 2-1 at Inter on Sunday.
Fiorentina remain in 18th place in the early table with just a single win to their name and six defeats with 19 goals conceded, more than any other team in the Italian top flight.
In the centre of that leaky defence is Dragusin and the 24-year-old has played every minute so far of the league campaign for the Florence-based side.
The Romanian centre-back joined the Italian club this summer in a loan deal with a £21.4million obligation to buy which will be triggered by various conditions as this campaign goes on.
Kevin Danso had to sit out Sunderland's goalless draw at home against Leeds thanks to the red card he got in the defeat at Bournemouth last week.
The 28-year-old, who is on a £2.5million loan with an obligation for the Black Cats to buy him for £22.5million if they stay up in the Premier League, was able to at least start in midweek for Sunderland's Europa League 1-1 draw at Lech Poznan.
He played the full 90 minutes, picking up a yellow card before the half-time break.
Kota Takai is playing regular football again and made it three starts on the trot and three 90 minute showings as he took his place in the centre of defence for STVV's 3-2 defeat at Club Brugge on Sunday.
The 22-year-old Japan international is starting to settle in Belgium at a club with Japanese owners and a history of working with players from that country.
The defender is looking to get his career back on track after an injury-hit first year at Spurs and an unsuccessful loan at Borussia Monchengladbach.
Mason Melia remains out with a thigh injury that has put a temporary pause to his minutes at both Lincoln and the Republic of Ireland until later this month.
The 19-year-old striker, who made his Republic of Ireland senior debut this summer, had come off the bench in three of Lincoln's previous six matches and started one.
It was a good weekend for George Abbott as he bagged an assist for Mansfield Town and finally started and made it through to a second half after careful load management following his long-term injury.
The 21-year-old midfielder played an hour for Nigel Clough's men on Saturday after two 45-minute stints to help Mansfield beat Blackpool 4-1 on the road.
Abbott intercepted a Blackpool pass in the opposition half 10 minutes into the second period and slid a perfect ball in to Rhys Oates to bury a powerful shot past the keeper. The victory means Abbott's side are now six unbeaten in League One.
Jamie Donley got another 90 minutes to his name for Luton Town as they recorded their second 2-1 home victory in four days to see off Leicester City at Kenilworth Road in League One on Saturday.
The 21-year-old, on a straight loan with no option for the Hatters to buy him, has made nine appearances for his loan side and has recorded two goals and three assists.
For the first time this season, Oliver Irow was an unused substitute for Plymouth Argyle as they won 3-2 at Cambridge United in League One.
The 20-year-old winger has otherwise enjoyed his loan spell, scoring four goals from his first 12 matches for Argyle.
Yusuf Akhamrich suffered the same fate as his Spurs team-mate, with the winger sat unused on Leyton Orient's bench as they lost 2-1 at Burton Albion at the weekend.
Akhamrich, also 20, has three goals and three assists from his 11 league matches this season.
Damola Ajayi got a start for League Two side Barnet on Saturday but was taken off at half-time with the home side leading against Oldham.
The tactical switch was no help for the high-flying hosts as they failed to score another goal and instead conceded an equaliser deep into injury time at the end of the game.
Ajayi has made nine appearances for Barnet so far this season and provided one assist.
Reiss Russell-Denny got 20 minutes from the bench as Bristol Rovers played out a goalless draw at home with Swindon Town in League Two.
The 20-year-old midfielder, in his first loan, has made 13 appearances for Rovers and provided three assists to the cause.
Dylan Thompson was back in goal for Isthmian League Premier Division side Enfield Town as they saw off Hanwoth Villa 5-1 in the FA Trophy on Saturday.
The 18-year-old goalkeeper missed the previous game as he was with De Zerbi's Tottenham squad at the warm-weather training camp in Marbella.
