I see I have another Gooner numpty to add to my ignoreTime for Harrods Nuno to finally give the club signing a chance
I know you clearly think "Harrods Nuno" is a clever insult, but it really isn't, you just sound like a bit of a pratTime for Harrods Nuno to finally give the club signing a chance
That sounds like you're using gender as an insult!OMG I‘m so hurt NarrowClown is going to put me on her ignore list
My life is ruined
She echoes what a lot of spurs supporters feel and are sick of seeing
And it isn't like Sarr is raw and untested either. Sarr is a full international for his country and has 2 seasons of top flight football in France on his resume.im a little concerned Conte will just double down on Persic as RWB when Doherty doesn't play or is not very good.
I feel Conte is being a little stubborn regarding Spence, it's not like he's super raw like Pape Sarr. He's proven himself against prem opponents, and been an outstanding leading figure in a team promoted to the top.
Wasn't a player Conte wanted & so I fully expect to see Doherty starting instead.

Conte either has incredibly high standards or is just super stubborn. Either fits.
Thing is he didn't sign a lot of these players, but opts to play them regardless so why cut one's nose off to spite his face?
Our DOF & scouts had Conte-ball in mind when they scouted him so Spence being entirely incompatible seems unlikely.
Besides; I'm pretty damn sure that if Conte had categorically said "don't sign him; I'll just refuse to coach him" he wouldn't be here.
So he offers less than what he wants than Royal? Why the hell did we sign him in that caseThing is gang, Conte's not a moron, Maybe Spence is very raw and will need time to fully understand what Conte wants of him.
he's not omitting him out of spite.
I think a combo of Spence being young/raw & not a Conte choice = risk averse manager trusts the older players. If he was a player he really went out and picked out, I think the age would be less of a factor as he'd know exactly what he provided.
Do not think he's a player he currently trusts & Spence will have to earn that. Potentially over a LONG period of time.
Spence looked sharp in the brief minutes he got towards the end of one of the games... Can't rule out him being omitted out of spite just because the club signed him when Conte wanted someone else..Thing is gang, Conte's not a moron, Maybe Spence is very raw and will need time to fully understand what Conte wants of him.

He wouldn't do any difference because of the way we set up.Spence looked sharp in the brief minutes he got towards the end of one of the games... Can't rule out him being omitted out of spite just because the club signed him when Conte wanted someone else..
Also don't forget Spence tore Woolwich apart last season..
