Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

As long as Conte is sensible in his demands this summer then surely Levy will back him. Nobody can question the work he is doing. We don't need to spend a fortune but just one world class player, a couple more of Bentancur/Kulusevski profile plus Eriksen on a free, that would be enough. We can do great things under this manager.
How much is one world class player gonna cost? Fortune surely?

I know what you mean tho….. Hakimi and Eriksen would do for me if we don’t lose Kane
 
Love it when Romero charges into the attack

I honestly think if we can find quick aggressive WBs then we will suffocate teams like Poch's finest did.

No coincidence really.....

Hugo
Dier / Toby / Jan
Walker / Vic / Dembele / Rose
Dele / Eriksen
Kane
...Look familiar?

Hugo
Romero / Dier / Davies
XXX / Bentancur / Skipp / XXX
Kane
Kulu / Son​
 
First time we have looked like a properly coached team since before things went wrong at the end of Poch's era.

Please don't fuck this up Levy, you got the first bit right, getting the best manager available. The next part is giving him the tools he needs.
I was saying how poorly coached a team we were when we were top under Mourinho and people didn't want to hear. Well I'm saying it now this is the best coached Spurs team since peak Pochettino. The scary bit is the Italian has done it in FIVE months and one transfer window . No way Conte has prime Dele Eriksen and Dembele Vertonghen and Alderweireld we don't win the league. Give this man six top quality players Levy and get the hell out of his way.

Big ask... In today's market; we're talking £300-350m.

That would also put Conte in the realms of mere cheque-book manager (and we're simply not gonna win a cheque-book battle in a league that contains City, Chavs, Nu-Castle, Utd. + the currently strong Liverpool).

Realistically; give the man 3 new starters in the summer and beef the bench up with a ST & GK and let's see what he can do.
 
It's such a pleasure to see a method of playing, tactics, positioning, formations, patterns of play. Rather than the kick it to Harry and Sonny, they're world class and will win games for us shitshow we watched for 2 seasons.

5 goals and not one of them scored by Kane. This man isn't performing miracles, but he is certainly the best tactician/technician we've seen for a long time. Poch was all about the 100% and togetherness and being fitter than the rest. I think Conte takes that and adds another layer or 2 of nous on top. We simply must do everything we can to keep hold of him.
 
He didn't do bad in the summer to be fair. Hart, Sissoko, Aurier. I was delighted they were all moved on. I suspect he must have had a bit of input into that, we know he did with Hart.

Harsh to call Serge & Moussa dossers though.

Problem is when you have MF options of Dele, Ndombele, LoCelso & Winks (and the respective rep or pricetags of the frst 3) it's always gonna be an arduous job whittling down the chaff.... Then you have the red-herring of Emerson being your shiny new FB and a DOF looking to assert their influence in the background (i.e. No 3atb!)... It's a tough gig and one that was doomed to take a long time (too long?) to get up and running.

I'll be honest, I've been so down about everything football related since the Champions League final. Against my better judgement, I genuinely believed I'd walk out of WHL that night with Tottenham champions of Europe. I don't think I've ever been right since.

Everything since then has done little to being me round, but I'm finally ready to let this club ruin me once more, and it's down to this man.

Next season, we're winning the fucking league.

Up the Spurs.
