Id be checking to see when Mina, Doucoure and DCL are due back, even Spuds will fancy their chances at the weekend on that showing!

Add Digne to that list, very important to us. We don't have a back up left back and that shows pretty clearly. Godfrey's plays as cover but gets exposed, square peg, round hole.

We have a very good 13 but once injuries kick in we are exposed.

I'm disappointed that Nuno has gone. The last thing we need right now is a new Spurs. I want old Spurs please ?

Don't worry, it'll probably end up being Mason in charge until at least January anyway. :rolleyes:

There may be 20 million reasons why Conte accepts an 18 month contract and be in place for the weekend :oops::LOL:

Ok it turns out I was wrong. We must be giving him stupid money to get him here this time, yeah.

Given his propensity for wing backs, I'll hazard a guess at what the team might look like going forward..

Lloris
Tanganga - Romero - Dier
Emerson - Hojbjerg - Skipp - Reguilon
Ndombele
Kane - Son
​
Should work really. :LOL:

Still no place for Doherty in there?

Most the spuds I know are saying nothing changes until levy is gone.. failed poch, failed Jose , no proper investment or a clear direction

Well we just spent £26mil on Emerson so I expect him to be first choice. I do think Doherty will do better now though, in his cup/rotation appearances. He was never a right back so buying him and playing him as one was stupid. He's a wing back through and through, so should look a little better in Conte's system.

We have to bring in players in January. I don't believe Conte would have bothered signing without assurance that that will happen. Downside being you probably have to sell Kane to fund any substantial outlay. Then again that's only a downside if he starts scoring league goals in the next two months.

I guess the question will be as to whether you can actually sell Kane. Really not sure who would come in for him if City do not. Not sure anyone else either has the funding, needs a stiker or is an attractive prospect for Kane to move to. Even if City do come back in, I can see that offer being well below the £100 million mark now based on form and based on them potentially being the only offer likely to come in January and with bigger names on the market in the summer.

I agree, but Conte & Paratici might be tempted by a player swap deal this time. 75-80 mil plus Laporte or whoever else isn't playing much. I'd say Sterling but he probably doesn't want to play for us. Then again neither would Laporte. :LOL:
