Think he’s going to kill it here after Conte coaches him up a bit.
Agree...
There's a few young high profile players who wouldn't last 5 minutes under Conte, but... (wait for it) I feel quite confident that

Don’t think this will happen but how would people feel if this were our finished window?

Forster
Lenglet
Spence
Perisic
Bissouma
Maddison
Richarlison
I don't think we'll get Maddison but I think we'll bring maybe one or two more in, depending on outgoings. It's simplistic to say but if Conte is happy then so am I. The balance and experience of the squad now looks really good.
 
Conte likes proven products so no way that's happening. Most likely scenario is him going to Stade Rennais. Which is a shame since he would have played CL if he stays at Fenerbache.

Will be interesting to see how he fairs in a (slighty) better league.
On paper, he is fantastic. Tall, strong, deceptively quick, good in the air, great anticipation and awareness, comfortable on the ball, two footed. No one knows if all that will translate to a tougher league.
I've only seen him in a couple of inters but he seems strong and a good passer.
 
Where's this Maddison talk coming from ? I dont see any links till date. Is it just from someone's wishlist ?
Google :cool:

Both Gold and Paul O’keef have said attacking midfielder is next and whilst they didn’t say he’s definitely the one, they have pointed out about needing more homegrown. We have been linked. What other decent and potentially available homegrown CAM can you think of? I think Maddison would be a fantastic signing if true
 
I don't see us moving on Rodon, Sanchez and Tanganga and only bring in one CB as that means only 5 CB's.

I think we may want to find an HG to bring in if Tanganga goes

....Albeit -1 x HG in the league.



Why not in other domestic comps to aid rotation/cover?



I'd say 5 into 3 attackers and 4 into 2 CMs is ok for that specific comp..... Especially if they're kept fresh by rotation in the domestic comps.... And Gil and/or Sarr can only help that cause. We're gonna be seeking to play our best in the CL afterall; not fringe players.



Who knows.... I sent my crystal ball in for a service the other day. : P

Have we even been linked to either?
Honest question, do other clubs struggle so much with their HG quota?
I know Man City buy up alit of English players, but that's cos they can afford bloated, English prices...

But are Chelsea and Liverpool, and Utd's squads brimming with HG players, cos it always feels as if they have plenty of foreign talent at their disposal without having to 'balance the books' each season, and worry about HG players over foreign ones....

Maybe it's the same feeling that EVERY fan has about their own club... Bit like the 'bias' argument....
 
Spence hasn't got any experience playing at this level. Sure, if he hits the ground running and exceeds all expectations; we could sell someone in Jan.

The criticism of Royal is ridiculous. He's a good defender who has all the attributes to be coached to improve in the final 3rd.

With any luck, we will spend most games defending a lead; not chasing a goal - and Royal is perfect for this.
He hasn't, but against the two PL clubs Nottingham Forest played in the FA Cup (Leiectser, and I forget the other one!) he acquitted himself really well....

It's not his fault that Boro or Forest weren't PL teams, but when he has come up against that level of team, he's more than held his own.

That's a good sign, surely?
