Perisic, Bremer, Richarlison, Bissouma, Spence indicates we are going for players that obviously are very skilful but are big, powerful and very quick.
To me this indicates we want to bully teams next season. Conte is going for players that nearly always win their one on one battles.
This is probably why we are not in battle for players Woolwich want like Jesus, Tielemans, Viera etc.
Well you mentioned Kane
Like I say …. Imagine if he excels and is courted . You make the point yourself
It's not just the money. CL and Conte also make a huge difference, as well as the fact we are now seen asa team on the rise. As good a team as we had between 2016-18 I don't think we were considered that. Now we genuinely are.
In Conte's system the main purpose of the 2 CM's is defensive - goals/assists from them are a bonus. If we played a creative CM in a 2 man system, we'd lose control as one CM would often be upfield leaving just one back.
The creative bit is mainly coming from wing backs - hence the need to upgrade these this summer.
As far as Chelsea are concerned, I think we're already at that point. I was referring more to Liverpool and City.
If we get four years out of him for 25M and he does well and goes for free, happy days. These are the kind of compromises dickhead Daniel wouldn’t ordinarily make whereas Paratici is happy to trade on the basis we get good players first and foremost as opposed to what he considers a good deal
Yes, but is he willing to start in the bench?
Not saying we’ll win but I think we should at least aim to be in the dogfight for the title

Without a doubt we should be winning a trophy next year.
If we get Richarlison, Eriksen, Bremer and Spence I think we will be a dark horse.
Good we need to keep multiple deals live.
I met a guy involved in the Bale to Madrid deal, giving financial advice, but from start to announcement people were working on that deal for about 6 weeks. Possibly a bit more complicated than most, but it suggests to me that any deal where negotiations not already started means the player might not be announced before we fly to South Korea.
Good thing that Fabio likes working on 10+ negotiations at a time !
Youtube suggested me a video from Alasdair Gold from one year ago where he talks about talks collapsing with Conte. What a mess it was then and look at us now. At the time of the video Paratici was just about to come in. First summer for him looks to have been pretty difficult but the situation we are in now is so much better than just one year ago that Paratici should be praised. I was quite sceptical of him at first.
Add that spilled coffee thing on his desk (wtf?) and I'm calling my shrink.

According to 90min, sharing news in the last 24 hours, there has been some movement at Tottenham Hotspur involving Burnley forward Dwight McNeil.
Spurs head coach Antonio Conte is not stopping after locking up a deal for Premier League star Yves Bissouma, according to reports.
Fabrizio Romano backs that the Lilywhites have their eyes on even more signings before the start of 2022/2023 as links continue to emerge for players across Europe.
The likes of Christian Eriksen and Djed Spence have reportedly been targeted by the north Londoners, but according to 90min, it appears there is another new target on Fabio Paratici’s mind.
Tottenham and their sporting director have allegedly entered the mix for McNeil after Burnley’s relegation to the Championship.
It is believed they have already made contact and ‘asked’ the Lancashire side about a potential deal, but their star man is in-demand, with Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, West Ham and Fulham also lurking.
THE VERDICT: MOVE FURTHER?
Called a ‘sensational player‘ by journalist Andy Jones of The Athletic, it’s safe to say McNeil has lived up to this tag over 2021/2022.
According to WhoScored, the 22-year-old was a Turf Moor untouchable last season with only goalkeeper Nick Pope playing more league minutes than Burnley’s starlet.
He also averaged more key passes and successful take-ons per 90 than any regular in the side and finished last season as Burnley’s second-best performer by average match rating (WhoScored).
The fact McNeil is homegrown may be another incentive to move given Tottenham’s troubling quota issues, and depending on his valuation, this move could be a shrewd one.
That can just as easily happen after year 3/5 as it can yr 2/4.......
If some petro-fucker comes calling our options are limited regardless..... City/Kane could have just as likely happened this summer instead of last and we'd still have a similar battle on our hands.... As we've seen from Haaland; they were never gonna wait around forever.

36 games?
Conte managed 28 unless you're including cups as well, if you're trying to analyse and draw a comparison then I'm not sure if it's wise to include those matches against the likes of Morecombe.
We struggled against low blocks because it's quite simple, Conte didn't have the players to play his system - that will obviously change with new acquisitions and a pre season which will give him more time on the training pitch, yes we did lose to Chelsea 3 times but this 2 months after he joined and we didn't have our 2 new signings in January, once we signed them we obviously improved.
The point about him having a pre season is that it gives him a chance to work on his system and to get the players used to it and to get them fitter which obviously will help us throughout the season.
Not sure I understand the point about Utd having the power either, they're not attracting anyone at the moment.
Yeah many things could go wrong but many things could go right

could be a very good wingback. Different from Sess in that he could hang back a bit and spam crosses.Tottenham: Lilywhites make contact to sign McNeil
