Nope both terrible calls. Nuno actually started really well though and is a “project coach” whatever the fuck that is.

The team.that just won the WC plays that system.
I’m not saying we should stick to it, I’m just saying signing players that play well in it, doesn’t limit us with future manager options.
Oh wonderful another player we can read 50 articles about whilst we haggle down and eventually don’t sign.
He’s seen all the spurs fans wetting their pants on twitter so is just piggybacking on the pain. He has no clue.
I really doubt we’ll bring in another right back until we get rid of one or two of the three we already have but that’s besides the point.
No they don't Scaloni used it in a couple games but the final and semi-final Argentina reverted to a back 4. Conte sticks to it no matter what.
Good players can play in any system i'd rather we look for those.
Didn't Argentina play a 4-4-2 ?
And 433. I think they went 352 for the 2nd round or quarter final game partly due to an injury to Di Maria.
They played a fair amount of games with wing backs Acuna and wotsit
I’m all good with being able to change as well. Also prefer to sign good players.
Just saying that signing player for Conte doesn’t mean they we can’t find a manager that can work with them.
Who the fuck is this multi? He is a complete melter.
I'd go with the club strategy. Buy young, resellable talent on the second shelf. And start preparing for the new progressive coach that plays the free flowing Spurs-DNA football.
I caught the end of it and lyall said spurs will give the players Conte needs now.
He also said he could see Porro coming if we move on some fullbacks and sporting soften their stance. Basically something any one of us could have said.

Why on earth wil they soften their stance? Just fucking paying it
Porro is easily worth the 40m it would take to activate his clause but it's important to remember that Emerson Royal's hyperbaric chamber has many settings and I don't think the club wants to jump the gun before we've tried all of them out.
Not sure if this is a wind up or not?
I think his impact on our fortunes can be scrutinised very much.
The players he’s “unearthed” Sarr, Gil, Spence, are any of them going to cut it? Really don’t think so.
Forster, Gollini, Emerson, Lenglet, Bissouma, Richarlison (might get some stick for including him but fuck it) have all added next to nothing to the quality of the team. All relatively average players that require no real analysis or scouting.
Bentancur and Kulusevski have been excellent, but let’s not pretend they were bought as a result of being long term targets or through extensive scouting or planning. They were opportunistic buys as a result of Paratici’s contacts at Juve because we were unable (unwilling to pay) for any of our top targets.
Cuti Romero, granted, has been outstanding and is a top player.
But the overall picture isn’t great. And let’s not go to some of the managers he was trying to bring to us before finally convincing his food mate Conte to join.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if neither Paratici or Conte are here next season.
He may not be the best DOF, but I doubt Paratici is a fool, and he’s bound to realise sooner rather than later that he is merely a fall guy for Levy.
Expect this guy to be a Spurs player, saying that "we tried for Felix (or someone decent), but they were too expensive and we had to settle with Thuram instead".
Last time Paratici was tasked with finding a manager to fit our free flowing spurs DNA football we ended up with Nuno.
After years of our scouting being abysmal at both a player and manager level my confidence isn’t very high that well get back to that any time soon.
While we're scrambling for Porro, these cunts are still making moves on the 2nd day of the transfer window trying to turn the season around...
