Technically not a wingback.

Liverpool play a four and both outside backs “act” like wingbacks. Because VVD is so fucking good and they have such a good press and Fabinho is so reliable (and such a good fouler) they get away with it.

Still, AR and TAA are actually full backs in tactical speak

If you ‘act’ like a wing back then you are playing as a wing back.
 
Noises about Teilemans on SC.

I'll tell you this... if we get him, we might have to rename scum to Salt FC.

That'd be Yves, Charlie and Youri... who they wanted.

I've wanted Teilemans for years.

Under Conte he'd be amazing. 🙏

He would be the strangest fit. He was awful off the ball last season, let’s runners go past him, positionally a mess. He is lovely with the ball but his defensive performance would have to dramatically improve.

Maddison is by far Leicester’s best player last year, was good at pretty much everything and kept them above mediocrity.
 
i never heard of him before any good

Gordon is HG attacking player - no problem with extra HG players, overseas trained MIGHT be tight depending upon who else we want in (eg CB )
Would rather we went for Brennan Johnson.

I know Forest would be reluctant to sell but a lot of their squad and 4-5 first teamers were players on loan that won't be returning, so maybe a swap deal for Rodon, some cash and Sarr and Gil on loan might be a good deal for everyone.
 
At the end of the day if Conte wants Tielemans fine let’s get him. But that is a lot of work on the defensive end to fix for Conte.

At the moment he is a pure Woolwich player, nice on the ball, occasional special goal and soft off the ball. Conte will need to break his balls.

can't see Forest wanting to sell as neither Gil nor Sarr right for PL next season
 
Spence, Bremer, Tielemans/Eriksen and I'll call it a great window tbf.

Being Conte's first summer one (I think there'll be two more under him).

Next summer we fine tune with 2 or 3 absolute stonkers and go for the title.

I'd imagine that's the sort of thing in plan.

Conte won't expect to win, or be in for the title this season, but will definitely expect to be seriously challenging next season.

And then will expect to win it the season after.

Then he'll be off.

He'll sign an extention soon (imo).

Will be 3 full seasons with us and leave us in the best shape we've ever been in - squad-wise.

If we don't win the title with him, that will be his legacy.

As fans, we can't lose.

If he plays the 3-5-2 he'll be an option to play in front of the 2 DMF's, can't see him playing in a 2 though because as you say he's a bit of a liability defensively.

Conte is a bit of a miracle worker. He is like Poch on steroid fixing players, I mean look at Dier and Davies but it is a big job. But as you say 3-5-2 his old system he could be used for.
