Why?

Kulusevski is only 21 and has good potential.

Because I've watched him play several times and seen none of that potential at all. And seemingly nor do Juventus, who are a team sorely lacking in quality players. They're barely a better team than us these days yet they're happy to get rid?

Maybe we can blame it on Allegri being a defensive coach or w/e, but fundamentally he's not looked good since he got his step up.
 
Nah, I don't watch much European football but have got round to quite a few Serie A games. He's been awful whenever I've seen him on the pitch, utterly lacks pace and honestly can't remember him showing any kind of tangible qualities.

And the fact he's not making the XI in a terrible Juventus side and they want rid says it all to me. Even the likes of Bernadeschi (a truly terrible player) seem to be getting more game time. He had one good breakout season and since then has looked pitifully mediocre.
Well.. I haven't seen him, so can't really speak... but at 21 players can always improve. On loan is such a reasonable thing... At Tottenham there'll be less pressure and the competition won't be as high as Juve, even if you say they're terrible... I think you'd have to say that we've been worse the last year (till Conte arrived)... I'm happy to look at this one optimistically, after the crushing disappointment of Diaz... would rather not have known about that and he just went to Liverpool...

I said when we got Conte that it's the cheap option for Levy.
He will cost us comparatively little compared to what the cost of building a good team is.
It placated the fans for a while and got a decent lift on the pitch.
Conte will walk in late August with the remainder of his contract (about 7m) in his bank.

We got him on an 18 month deal with the option of 1 more year. Bet both my fully functioning testicles the option is never exercised
 
If Conte wants him and feels like he can mold him to do a role in the side - like he has done with many "bang average" players in the past then I am all in.

Couldn't give a fuck what Juve fans are saying

People really overrate the work that Conte has done with bang average players. It is a small part of what makes him good and for the most part what he has been able to do is transform athletic wingers into effective WB's.

He doesn't take a bunch of plodders and make them into world class players. When he brought in Ashley Young for example he also brought in Lukaku. At Inter sure he had Ashley Young on one side but brought in Hakimi as well on the other side.
