But he wasn't signed to be a first team striker.
No, I didn't imply he was.
...and you sir, are entitled to your opinion.
Honestly, if he already has a friend in Johnson, and a new bromance with Udogie... That can ONLY be a good thing!
Friendships within the family help create an even stronger bond...
I honestly think he'll stay this season, I really do. (Especially if Royal leaves!)
Like a new signing!
Gold:
The full-back was being put through his paces with an emphasis on trying to deal with Wells running alongside him as a winger, with Spence having to work on his body shape in order to prevent the Spurs coach from getting a cross away or move past him. They continued for a little while after the other players had finished.
Spence has been a surprise addition to this tour with his hard work on the training pitches not going unnoticed by the coaching staff and for now he remains a Tottenham player who will likely get game time against Vissel on Saturday.
Djed Spence's special work
While those players were taking free-kicks and others were working on their passing and shooting, Djed Spence was being drilled individually by senior assistant coach Matt Wells.The full-back was being put through his paces with an emphasis on trying to deal with Wells running alongside him as a winger, with Spence having to work on his body shape in order to prevent the Spurs coach from getting a cross away or move past him.

Seems like they're putting a lot of effort into him, something you wouldn't expect them to do with a player who's on the transfer list.
I can't tell you how happy this makes me. Not for Spence ( though I'm glad he's getting a chance) but it's the revolutionary idea of one on one coaching to improve a 'young' players weakness. Do you recall that clown was Jose number two. But the work sounds like he's in and staying.
Jose breaking Covid rules to get Tanguy out for fitness work is a cornerstone of my memories of the pandemic.
I am not excited.
It's not really "luck" seeing as we went to the trouble of scouting him in the first place and then actually buying him. He was a hugely promising talent when we bought him.
To our "bad luck" we had Conte as our manager who not only didn't play him but went out of his way to publicly trash him within days of him joining. Conte continued to use him as a pawn in his political posturing that just disintegrated into madness.
Spence is at ground zero again, I bet he's got a dartboard with him on tour with a picture of Conte pinned on it, no better motivation than to prove a cunt that he's a cunt. He's already got one box ticked on him, in that he's lasted longer than Conte. Now he's showing why we bought him in the first place now the cunt has been sacked.
I don't know if he will pan out, I don't know if he's the right character (I do know that if he was human he would have been affected by the way Conte dealt with him) but I watched him singlehandedly rip Woolich to pieces in the FA Cup (and when I got the chance I made an effort to watch him again following that performance, this was before we were linked to him). It's been so long ago since I watched him it's hard to be definitive, suffice to say he was a hugely promising player, way, way better than Sess was at Fulham by comparison.
It appears that we are also investing coaching time in him.......
So right now it's what we deserve, what Spence deserves, let's see where it takes us and him.
you can't lay that all on Conte, There's been a couple managers unimpressed with his attitude, ange himself was happy to ship him off last season.
Conte is probably just less forgiving

I don't think he's playing for a move. He's playing to be a part of this and it's been noticed which is good. He'll get plenty of game time this season if he keeps this up.
The managers unimpressed were those AFTER Conte banished him. Imagine getting a massive move top PL Club only for your manager to basically publicly humiliate you for political gain! Imagine where his head was after that.
I'm blaming everything on the wiggo the bottler.
What's that got to do with his idiot assistant. And breaking the rules for any reason at that point showed just how little sense that man had. My pandemic cornerstone was it killing my father in law. So football in all sincerity felt deeply redundant
untrue, have a look at his time with Warnock
Spence had a history of managers unimpressed with his work ethic way before Conte. The guy at Forest was the first manager to get a good tune out of him at senior level.
