[Marco Conterio] Surprise between #Tottenham and Pedro Porro. The player has already said yes but the 45 million pound clause with #SportingCP could only be activated in the summer. Sporting ask for more money at #THFC

Suprise motherfucker!
 


Probably £15m over priced on his basic fee, even allowing for him being HG. But a decent punt if you are Newcastle with lots of cash but the best players wont come to you ?
 
Much like this chap I’d never seen them play (accept against us and I can’t say he stood out) and definitely wasn’t getting carried away by one champions league performance against Man City.

He had more than one good performance in the Champions League. More notably against Barcelona too.

I had only seen glimpses from his Lyon days domestically and he looked fine. I was happy with the signing. Then again, I also liked Seri when he was at Nice.
 
Has Conte been backed? Well, partially.

For sure Kulu, Bentancur, Perisic, Biss and Rich were good signings for him.

Where we have fallen massively short is the defence.

Flying wingbacks are crucial to the system and all he's been handed to work with is an aging Perisic and a player he never wanted (Spence)

And then we need at least 3 quality Centre backs to effectively play his system. Instead he has to rely on Davies, Dier, Sanchez, Tanganga and Lenglet.

That is where has not been sufficiently backed.

If he sticks around then the end of the summer window will be the moment to judge one way or the other.
 
To be fair, he was absolutely smashing it in the championship with Fulham and man, myself included thought it was a great coup at the time, regardless I dont mind having a punt on young HG English players every now and again
He had a mediocre season in the PL when we bought him, we paid half what was quoted after his great season in the championship.

I agree with the larger point, seemed value at the time.
