Amazing how many Juve fans were telling us we had signed two duds in Bentancur and Kulusevski. :contesmile:

Can't imagine how many days and nights he'd had Levy on the rack. The poor bugger must be looking like a bald peter crouch.Spurs making signings earlier in the window? Strange feeling. I don't know how to react...
Why does everyone believe this?
Reggy has been first choice right up until he was injured.
Didn’t he get sent off against us a couple of years ago?

absolutely mugged off by Winks lmao
Thanks for that.
That's kinda the thoughts I felt watching his highlights.
Does he like it up him, Captain Mainwaring or is he any good in aerial battles?
And almost every player that leaves us has an excellent season - Lamela, Lo Celso.... All except Tangy
:tanguyhuh:
Homegrown, rumours of Spanish interest in Regi, the feeling that Conte really wants a midfielder not a fullback as a wing back.
How we could do with gough now with his leadership qualities . Uptime times upgrade on dier.
Or maybe Conte simply wants a wing-back as a wing-back
Why get rid of two youngsters in Rodon and tananga fir the Burnley player. What is the sense in that?
Too young to remember Gough but Dier has shown a lot of leadership. Learnt Spanish to work better with Sanchez and Reguilon.

Another Joe Hart signing? Or better?
Only 3 teams conceded more goals than Southampton last season........ And those 3 got relegated.
Hope not with Adama and Richardson . Why? Max yeabif we sell Lucas or berg however if keep berg as we need numbers up front. Kane won’t be able to play every game.Perisic and Saint-Maximin
Richarlison and Traore
He already spoke fluent Portuguese so Spanish probably wasn't a big leap
You think Kostic is better player?
You don’t give a player 6M per year to be a cover up
If it is , it’s not much of a step up is it ?
So Conte was so hacked off with Perisic not doing the defensive work he loaned him out.

WHEN CONTE KICKED PERISIC OUT AND POTENTIAL REUNION AT TOTTENHAM
by Susy Campanale | May 27, 2022 19:33
Antonio Conte is on the verge of reuniting with Ivan Perisic at Tottenham Hotspur, but their rapport at Inter got off to a disastrous start. ‘I don’t think he can give the team what it needs.’
Multiple sources this evening including Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and the Daily Telegraph claim that Perisic is ready to turn down a new contract at San Siro and instead join Spurs as a free agent.
It’s suggested that Conte specifically asked for the Croatia international during today’s summit with director Fabio Paratici.
While Perisic did turn into a key figure in the 2020-21 Scudetto-winning campaign, he was on the verge of being sold because he did not fit into Conte’s tactics.
In fact, he was loaned to Bayern Munich for the 2019-20 season after Conte’s comments in July 2019, just a few weeks after taking over at the club.
“Perisic did try to do what I asked, but I have negative sensations and I don’t think he can give the team what it needs. We need to evaluate things carefully.
“I cannot complain about his effort and dedication, but there are roles to be respected. You cannot change the characteristics of a player, even if he tries.”
Perisic won the Bundesliga at Bayern and returned from the loan in 2020-21, going on to prove he could adapt from his traditional role on the left of a trident attack to cover the whole left flank in a 3-5-2 formation.
“We sent Perisic to Bayern because he was not prepared to do the defending work I had asked for. He returned with a different mentality,” said Conte in May 2021.
“I asked him the same things as last season, but he showed that he has extraordinary characteristics and needs to believe in himself more.
“The moment he started doing that, he started to play. He can be even more decisive.”
This season, Perisic scored 10 goals and provided nine assists in 49 competitive appearances for the Nerazzurri.
Perisic adapted, returned to Inter willing to do the dirty work. And now it seems they're besties.
Same with Eriksen. Conte said he was the board's signing, and hardly played him for the first few months. But then Eriksen adapted and won Conte's confidence.
We have ambitions to win trophies next season, and signing players who already know Conte's physical & tactical demands makes perfect sense.
In terms of football a step down and in terms of stature a step sideways
I guess they pay significantly better wages
I think he’s too good for them and improves them
