And are turning their noses up at an Eriksen comeback.
Whatever happens, it will be an interesting summer. Conte has made it clear we need a lot more better players so it’s all down to enic & levy now.

Hmmm smells like trouble to me. Sounds like the opposite of how this man works. This match won't work no matter how much I wish it was different. He likes old wise heads, not the way we buy. We punt on young resalesSpurs squad weakened in January - Conte
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte believes his squad was "weakened" in the January transfer window despite the club signing two players.
I can't help but love this guy for his brutal honesty and constructive criticism. When done in the right manner, it's exactly what needs to be done to induce permanent positive change at a club like ours when you're in a situation of constant underachievement like we are!
I particularly like what he said here below, he's bang on as usual and I hope raising this will inspire change in the club to integrate players who are ready made first team regulars who will lift us instantly rather than buying prospects that need a season or three... to really start firing on all cylinders.
The Italian added: "Bentancur and Kulusevski are ideal prospects for Tottenham, because Tottenham are seeking young players they can develop and grow, not players who are ready. That is the issue.
"This is the vision and the philosophy of the club. It is inevitable that, if you want to grow quicker and if you want to be competitive more rapidly, you need players with a lot of experience, because they also raise the experience level of the overall team.
"But I repeat, I have realised now that this is the vision of the club."
Yup, I see what you mean. Hopefully the club recognises the importance of listening to his demands to change the philosophy of the club in order for us to start regularly challenging for silverware.
At no point does he disagree with the ‘vision of the club’, tho - isn’t he just saying those are the parameters he’s working within and hinting that the success will take younger as he’ll be coaching inexperienced players? Not dissimilar to his asking for patience from fans on Sunday?Spurs squad weakened in January - Conte

Lol...err walks a week before pre-season when he see the bunch of Expendables Paratici gives him. Enter stage left Ryan Mason permanent manager.Yup, I see what you mean.

So with that in mind, do you think he'll be sacked this season or next season by that shiny bald cunt?
Even Mason would have to think twice.
