Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Winks is starting under Conte. He's not just saying nice things about him, he's pretty much said he doesn't want him sold, is starting him in key games, and is praising him more than anyone else. All of these are indicators that he values him as a player. His assessment is one I have faith in, and it is backed by good performances on the pitch lately.

This doesn't mean you have to believe everything Conte says. But there's so much evidence to suggest he thinks the player is worthwhile. No I don't think Dier can become one of the best, but I believe Conte values him too, so is bigging him up. He's a player I expect the manager will want to keep in the team.

The edgy part is that you're seemingly incapable of just accepting people think he's playing well, or that Conte may value him as a player in the squad. He has to be totally useless and Conte is just lying/not getting money.

I wouldnt read too much into it. Skipp, GLC are injured and Tanguy cant run

We both know the difference between accepting that managers exaggerate praise and straight up thinking he's just lying about Winks and starting him for a laugh.

But then Conte is 'just another manager shackled to a fat slug' according to you isn't he? So I wouldn't expect him to know what he's doing..

It’s always different for you isnt it

What a convenient life you have sitting on that fence
 
these are conte words
Yeah and someone here repeated them and said it was true

‘… on his position’. So in the centre of back three specifically. And he absolutely can.
He should be entering his prime years soon and has Conte to guide him to it, importantly he stays fit most of the time and has years of experience already in the top 4 team of the best league on the planet.
Our defence is not leaking much at the moment and expected to improve even more.
And he’s central part of it.
Van Dijk was just packing his bags for Liverpool at age of 27.
There isn’t many monumental central defenders around these days it’s how football progressed.
No doubt he can be one of the best in a year or two, can’t see many being lights years ahead of him even now.

And Soduko agreed with him


It’s actually scary how people can let their minds become putty
Imagine thinking that in a year Dier could walk into City,Liverpool or Real Madrid’s starting line up because Conte gave him a public confidence boost

Quite comfortably walks into Liverpool starting line up right now how about that?
