He's 22 now, same age as Sess, so maybe he'll be ready in 2 years?
Cheeky bid for Kyle Walker in the summer? Maybe if we get him back we can break the curse we have had since he left!In the space of two days we appear to have given up on Spence and Porro.
He was signed for the future, which is all well and good, but we should have also got a ready made starter in as well, we have now hopefully got that with Porro but it seems to little to late!
He's got to stay out on loan until he shows something, If he can't make it at Rennes he's done.
Sad, but true
I don't see how we can sign someone for the future without the coaches approval. I think it was more like lets sign Spence so we can make a profit later.
All joking aside, I’d have Kyle back in an instance. There’s been a weird attempt over the past year or so to claim he’s lost it. Really has not. Still a truly excellent player.
His job is to help Conte succeed buying someone who isn't better than Emerson or Doc when we are in the champions league isn't helping him to succeed. I mean we didn't need to sign a top player but someone better than Royale and Doc would be a start, maybe in a years time he will be at that level although I can't see it playing for Rennes.
Nailed it
We are an awfully reactionary and impatient fanbase that are our own worst enemy. We love turning on our players at the smallest inconvenience.
Conte knew it was a club signing, one for the future, not the first team and he did approve it.
The club already scouted and identified Spence as a transfer target without any input from Conte.
It was Redknapp that bought Walker, not a DOF that's the difference. If it was Conte that wanted to make this signing fair enough.
Even if that was case, Redknapp had the final say, it wasn't just a 'club investment. Some people thought Conte not playing Spence was political. '
They do this can't help themselves, either they don't understand player development at all or they simply want to squeal loudly because they feel important. Had it with Sarr :useless will never be any good club signing....ect yawn
