He’s not wrong completely - Nuno was given dog shit to eat in midfield and CB
One in the pink 2 in the stink?Got a feeling this emoji is gonna come in handy this season.
Here comes trouble
Can we please not give bitter Mourinho the attention he’s so desperately craving. Onwards.
I don't recall the rest, only that spiteful comment.
If we don’t win a trophy with him we are doomed. There’s no point. Sell the stadium and cease operations
You might be right that that was what he was attempting but clearly it didn't work and any half decent manager should know better, and person with experience of life, having met and spoken to other people from different backgrounds should know it's not a fair thing to say. I'm not surprised it didn't work because people have feelings and it doesn't take a lot to understand that someone who has grown up in his shoes, it's going to be touching on that person's sense of loss and having missed out. I bet it was the only thing Dele took from that meeting and I bet he couldnt get it out his head all day after that.
Anyway, hes gone, and now we've got Conte. I doubt Conte would make the same mistake.
Here comes trouble
I'll guarantee you this; If Conte does well here (I'm not even getting drawn on what "well" is) Jose will attempt to take credit for it. It will be because he signed player 'x' .
Can we all agree now that Levy (for once) has done the right thing? Conte won’t hang around long if funds are not available for the players he the wants so Levy has stuck his neck out here
Yes.
I think Jose is actually very pleased for himself believing that him getting sacked caused Kane to go on strike.
Here comes trouble
Directed at Mou, not you, Carrie.
Envy is a terrible thing, Jose.
Yes, Levy has done the right thing.
But it's all for absolutely nothing if he doesn't follow through. Every body and their grandmother knows that Conte demands immediate action. He isn't a "project manager" like Levy has teased along for the past ten years, and there's no room for meeting Conte halfway and saying "well, we tried."
Conte has a better eye for a player than Poch did, though. Conte is going to demand signings that will immediately impact the team, not trendy youth players on a hot streak that will need 18 months before integrating into the first team.
I don't mind him but I've seen washed up jellyfish create more than he does. Though it's not really his job to, to be fair.
I still want players younger than 25 though, so if Conte does leave in 18 months, our squad will be stronger for it.
Romero aged 23 is the perfect blueprint. Young but already class.
We’ve seen things from him in a Denmark shirt we haven’t at Spurs.
I’d say I have a fairly open mind about all of our midfielders as they transition to a system that is probably more different for them than anyone else.
