Can’t wait for all the baby oil to be sold out in Tottenham
You can back someone to a reasonable extent.
I wouldn't mind Traore, he should be cheap since he's on his last year of contract, can play RW or RWB (poorly), and he'd be useful off the bench. Imagine subbing Emerson for Traore in the 70th minute vs Brighton where we're chasing a goal and he just runs through their midfield until he gets to the box and lays it off to Kulu.
Traore is fucking dog shit
james to traore
Just fell to my knees in Tesco. We’re really going to sign Traore or James as a UCL club in 2022
The problem is the assumption that every signing we make requires a 'In Conte we trust' as if it's a signing he wants.
We have no idea the conversations that have happened. Spence wasn't a Conte signing and James probably wasn't suggested by him either. There's likely some who he has personally recommended or w/e and some the club come to him with.
Not sure what you mean by that, mate.....
If Conte says "Yeh, I think that player X has something I can work with" then surely you trust his judgement, rather than heed someone less qualified at board level saying that player X isn't good enough?
It'd be like Conte telling the medical staff how to do treat an injury.
Every little helps.
No because rating football players is subjective to a greater extent than medicine.
He's not good at football, but he's incredible at one very specific thing that we could use (particularly off the bench).
If people are not happy at James arrival, could they be placated by a sensational double swoop- both James AND Adama??
Not what I'm preaching mate (see subsequent posts)
Indeed not; I'm just responding the suggestion that Conte is fallible.... Of course he is, but surely his judgement is worthy of trust?
I'd still assume that if Conte catagorically said he didn't want player X then we wouldn't sign them.
