Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

No, he added players who we haven't even signed yet onto said Funds to make out we spent more compared to the Gooners, who he just happened to leave off players who they have signed this window!
He didn’t. He included Trossard.

I don’t see how this changes anything. If we do sign Porro, will you all come out and say Levy has backed Conte? You’re just reserving judgement until then?

When we aren't starting a game with the likes of Lloris, Dier, Davies and Sanchez anywhere near the squad then i will conclude that Conte has been backed. The comparisons to Arteta are stupid, how many players does Arteta have in his squad now compared to 5 years before he arrived? How much has Arteta spent since he has taken over there?
Conte has had some good players and some decent money spent in the windows so far, however there is a long way to go!

Has Levy completely overhauled the squad since Conte has been here? No.

Has Levy backed Conte? Yes.

I thought “backed” meant spent a lot of money on players for him.

Fixed your post. You're welcome.
So the fact we’ve spent the 3/4th amount in the world (with no significant sales) isn’t enough to say Conte was backed because … it takes too long to get deals done and we don’t get out first choice.

Don’t agree with that. Also our first choice players must be among the very best in the world if our 2nd/3rd choices still add up to so much money. High bar you’ve got.

I'm not asking you to agree with my statement of fact. Agree with it, don't agree with it - knock yourself out.

My point stands and holds truer than the French army did at the battle of agincourt on the 25 October 1415.

I’m having great fun imagining this argument taking place between a welsh guy who sounds like Ivor the engine and a French bloke who sounds like Pepe Le pew.

Puts a whole different slant on it. Would make a great podcast.
