This guy is the real deal. I love the backing he got today from the crowd. We need some large Conte flags!

We’re waiting Rocket Rocket

After 3 CL and 5 Prems, 3 FA Cups and 1 Europa and 1 Carabao, he retires in 2031 after a final year treble.

Seems utterly ridiculous to say such a thing, yet he's won the league in 5 of the last 7 years he's coached!!! Keep, keep, keep.
I think it’s pretty safe to say he won’t be winning it this season given our early season problems before he arrived, & the rebuilding that is needed through the squad.
If we get the players in he wants in January, there’s no reason why we can’t challenge for top 4 (never thought I’d be saying that a few weeks ago!).
And if he has another window in summer to make some further adjustments, then there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be challenging for his 6th league in 9 seasons.
Brilliant manager and the improvements are already plain to see. Give him the right players and he will take the club places.

I expect Conte to improve us greatly but overhauling the big 3 will take some doing.

Our star men, Kane and Son, are not getting any younger and the squad needs so much work.

We basically need to be flawless in the next two transfer windows and probably sign another 3 "Romero's". By that I mean players who are obviously class already and will improve further.In addition to decent squad upgrades in other areas.

I'd say we'd need something like 5-6 players to come in to the first team and contribute right away if we are to get close. That's a huge ask.

FA Cup and 4th will see him and most of us happy! Most!!!
 
I think people misread Poch's "it's hard to upgrade" comment. And I agree with him when he made the comment. It would have been "hard" to upgrade the then Spurs squad, it would have just taken Levy to loosen the purse strings. That made everything much, much harder.
Spot on. Think folk have chosen to forget how fuckin good that squad was …. We didn’t fall in quick enough just how good we were the year we fucked it V Leicester and we were beaten by a very good Chelsea outfit

But to go out and upgrade that squad in any position of note was an ask that required oil doping dollar

I think it was also the year transfer fees peaked

Unfortunately this is true. The front 3 are in their own league from the chasing pack
