Yes, because you're the only one who knows fuck all about football.
Why are you trying to give me boner so hard (pun intended) ?!?
It is working hours ffs!
Just imagine -
Bissouma and Eriksen to boost our midfield with Skippy coming back
Perisic and another wingback in for similar money for which Reggie and Royal are sold for
Bastoni coming in to the backline
Sterling coming to streghten the picks for forward line
Winksy + Rodon out from current players + Ndombelly, GLC, CCV shipped from loanees...
We would have experience, youth, steel and power in the side....
Gosh...
you do love your personal digs don't you.Yes, because you're the only one who knows fuck all about football.
It is perfectly possible that his 'associate' arrested with him is the main offender. However the fact is the police is still conducting investigations means Bissouma is not guaranteed to be off the hook - which should be the main takeaway.
The date of 6 June is a decision point - for example police need to apply to court to extend bail or (best possible outcome for the player) the criminal case is dropped (of course a civil case might be brought) which presumably means ongoing investigations including into Mr B come to an end or ................
So 6 June may make things clearer ....... or worst case suggest Bissouma may turn into having a Ched Evans, the risk of which means his valuation becomes questionable whatever his footballing abilities as ultimately public opinion is powerful .
I'm not convinced on Spence either, I think he's a good player but he's had one good season for Forest in the championship. Can't really see him being a Conte signing and someone who is going to improve us to compete in the Champions League.
RWB - Not really sure on this position who I'd want. Why do I think we'll be back for Adama...
Kostic would be good at LWB. Perisic would be a dream though.
CB - Bastoni. This one seems to tick all the boxes, statement signing for Conte, 2 years left on contract, young, price not too bad. Davies has been great but this is an area we need to improve.
CM - Eriksen mainly due to being available on a free otherwise I wouldn't go near.
CM - tielemans mainly based on the fact he's definitely leaving and is proven in the Premier League. Wouldn't cost loads either.
Forward - no idea realistically but I really wouldn't mind Sterling even though he has his critics. Prefer him to Jesus.

Only if you don't want to play in CL.
To play in CL we need to look at UEFA rules which say :
Club Trained : Kane, Winks, Tanganga, Austin (plus next year Skipp is over 21)
Players trained by Other Associations : Sessegnon
Which means that we have 6 players who are club trained or trained by clubs not affiliated to the FA (eg Swansea)
Overseas Trained : Everyone else (including Davies and Doherty)
NB. I've ignored Jack Clarke as I can't see him justifying a squad place so he's either loaned out again or sold.
Impressive stat, but I think he's one of those who will take his foot of the gas once he gets his big move.
25 yo, 1 year left on his contract, so this was always the season he needed to impress.
There was a quote from him earlier this season, where he said something like 'in my mind I'm the best midfielder in the PL. There is no-one better than me.'. OK, it's good to have self belief, but he doesn't sound like someone desperate to improve, or who thinks he needs to keep working on his game.
Anyway I think Conte will pass. Even as a footballer he's too much of a free spirit for Conte.
I still reckon I'm right and I will not be persuaded otherwise!
Boo Bassouma the bad egg!
(I don't really care. Just procrastinating.)
One of the main things I'm hoping for from Kostic is that he will help put a bit of aggression into Sessegnon's play. If Sess sees Kostic charging down the wing, he might start to give it a go and if he can add that to his already sound defensive qualities, we will have one hell of a left wing back.

It really does sound too good to be true. Proven, established signing in every position. Is this really Spurs?
Let's hope this is at least partially true.
Hope so. I think our reported interest in Bremer may be a smoke screen for Singo.
Yeah I’m a bit uncomfortable with getting excited about this guy. If he gets off it won’t be cos he didn’t do it, will be down to money
Let's hope you're not on the fuckin jury!.....
It’s gonna be interesting to see what the Newcastle financial clout does to the market and the affect on clubs like Villa and Everton, who usually spend a fair whack.
