Conte doesn't play with a 10. He didn't even play Eriksen until very late in his Inter tenure.

Thank goodness we didn't pull the trigger on Adama or we would've been stuck with him now...
3-5-2, at least in the PL, seems like the best way to get our best XI on the pitch, but Conte played 3-4-2-1 for most of his time at Chelsea, and actually began with the back 4 he mostly used with Italy as well.
fuck me if thats true
He could have convinced Lautaro to move, but he signed new contract not so long ago :/
LIVE Transfer Talk: Spurs to back Conte with €280m budget
Tottenham are prepared to spend big if former Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte takes over as new boss. Transfer Talk is LIVE with the latest.
Calciomercato says he’s targeting Vlahovic, Stefan DeVrij, Marcelo Brozovic, and Alessio Romangnoli.
Sir Alex Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho and Guardiola have all implemented all-encompassing philosophies and tactics that were mightily decisive. But when it comes to making a key change from one defined idea to another during the course of a season, Conte’s 2016/17 alteration is unmatched.
Dream Team.
Conte stands out for not finding the best players for his formation, but finding the best formation for his players.
What Levy means is giving him a 150 mil player in the form of Harry Kane.....
I think Gil might be someone that Conte can use effectively as a playmaker in a 352 system. He is not quick or tricky enough to be a wide player but is someone who looks to link play and open up defences with clever forward passes in behind defences. I really don't see Ndombele having a future under Conte but I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
According to givemesport.com
Spurs players ranked from good to bad awaiting Conte:
World-class:
N/A
Top drawer:
Hugo Lloris, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane
Solid:
Sergio Reguilon, Cristian Romero, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Davinson Sanchez, Emerson Royal, Lucas Moura, Japhet Tanganga
Decent backup:
Pierluigi Gollini, Joe Rodon, Eric Dier, Ben Davies, Bryan Gil, Oliver Skipp
Disappointing:
Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Steven Bergwijn, Matt Doherty
Get rid:
Dele Alli, Harry Winks, Ryan Sessegnon, Jack Clarke

With the manager pull of Conte, if Levy does deliver some big spending in next 2 transfer windows, we could have a team that seriously competes for the league:
Doc
How many points clear would this team be at the top of PL?
Not sure about all of that list. If he can ever get himself fit i think he'll like Sessegnon. A wing back that can also assist and score. Sanchez solid? Doesnt he like his centre backs good on the ball? Think he'll be one of the first out the door.
Word going round that Conte wants Vlahovic and Kessie in January. That solves some of our problems. I doubt Kessie can be an Eriksen replacement though
Yeah, Conte at Inter preferred a more deep lying playmaker in Brozovic, who Eriksen started to rotate with.
The Tifo youtube channel suggested using Pierre in that role like how Denmark used him at the world cup, with Ndombele and Lo Celso in front of him and being more attacking.
But that is just assuming that Conte will run the exact same system that he did at Inter and not adapt it.
I like those videos but I think they are wrong about Hjobjerg being able to take on that role. Not sure if they don't watch him for Spurs but he hasn't shown he can play like that at all, the exact opposite actually. I think he fit much more in with the two more advanced MFers.
Not January, but...
