far more likely then bastoni anywayThey are also hard in for Lukaku too... Inter Play 3 5 2 so only space for 2 of them to start neither Dybala, Lautaro or Lukaku will not accept being on the bench and not starting .

Conte normally uses 352 when he has his players I would say the below in terms of players per position.
It's like they hire for personal taste more than for tactical fit.I like Jesus, I think he is a good player. But he is better out wide, and the goons will force feed him up front. It wont be as successful as it could be because he isn’t really the player they need. They need a goal scorer.
Mate I wouldn't get excited about this onewould be a huge coup for us if we get him
fits us like a jigsaw
Reckon Woolwich will have to pay the City bench warmer a decent wedge to get kicked in eastern Europe.I think with the agent fees, dad tax, fluffer bonus and every other thing it will likely end up closer to what arse are trying to pay for Jesus and the bloke from Porto nobody has heard of.

That is fecking annoying.PS the link don't work because the word Woolwich gets changed to Woolwich on this forum
As if the players need a Messi to come in to be buzzing. Conte alone is enough to get the dressing room buzzing and then some.![]()
Tottenham told to snub Richarlison and make two 'statement' signings
ANTONIO CONTE has been urged not to pursue Richarlison by a former Tottenham striker.www.express.co.uk
Tottenham have been urged to forget signing Richarlison because he would not be a "statement signing". Former Spurs striker Teddy Sheringham believes his old team should instead focus on alternative big-name targets.
Everton star Richarlison has been linked with a move to north London after helping the Toffees stay in the Premier League. Antonio Conte has already made two signings in Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster, and is closing in on Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma.
But Sheringham does not think Richarlison would be a wise signing, claiming there are already enough players of his ilk at the club. He told Lord Ping: "I don't think he's what is needed now.
"Tottenham have got good attacking players; [Harry] Kane, [Heung-min] Son, [Dejan] Kulusevski, [Steven] Bergwijn is still there, [Lucas] Moura is still there. We’ve got players in the Richarlison mold and I don’t think he would be a statement signing that would get teams worried.
"If they were to sign him, what would the result be? In my day, when we signed [Jurgen] Klinsmann, a proper World Class player, everyone in the dressing room was buzzing.
"We knew what we were going to get from him. You need players that are going to take you to the next level and I don’t think Richarlison is one of them."
Tottenham are back in the Champions League after finishing fourth in the Premier League last term. And Sheringham would like to see a couple of major incomings give what he feels is a much-needed boost to the squad.
He added: "I'd like to see at least two more players go in there. Statement signings that show the world Tottenham are changing the stature of the club.
As you say , brilliant , and it doesn’t look anywhere near finished yet . Feels like bloody Christmas !Bissouma walks into our midfield don’t he? Unbelievable signing. We think he will partner Bentecur? Perisic another starter at LWB. We have already strengthened the starting 11 and squad. Brilliant so far.
Do you think £60 million is a fair price?That is fecking annoying.
Tottenham Hotspur are expected to open talks regarding a potential move to the Premier League for Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez next week, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham even went as far as to offer £60 million for Lautaro 10 months ago. Now, it seems they are ready to test the waters again.
“Sometimes the press talks about his possible transfer but he only thinks of Inter,” explains his agent Alejandro Camano.
“We’re not looking for a negotiation to take him elsewhere. He’s happy at Inter, the city is wonderful. He’s only focussing on Inter.
“Lautaro is growing as a footballer. Let’s not forget that he is still 24 years old. He is already establishing himself as one of the best strikers on the international scene.
The Argentina international has already turned down Woolwich this summer, according to The Times. But the presence of Conte – and former Inter team-mate Ivan Perisic – at Tottenham could make The Gunners’ North London neighbours a far more tempting proposition.
Champions League football will do Spurs’ chances no harm either.
As you say , brilliant , and it doesn’t look anywhere near finished yet . Feels like bloody Christmas !
Dont know tbh but levys got his nut vice out and he’s gonna squeeze those mofo’s hard, really hard
Haven't given it much thought. Lautaro ain't coming to Spurs IMO.
Think the fixture list will be so congested that we'll see many pairings in midfield, and one or both subbed in most games. 6 CL groupstage matches being run off over an 8 week period.Bissouma walks into our midfield don’t he? Unbelievable signing. We think he will partner Bentecur? Perisic another starter at LWB. We have already strengthened the starting 11 and squad. Brilliant so far.
Without a shadow of a doubt. The one who does best in attack is the one who joins him IMO. Unless in a surprise twist Bissouma is the box to box player, and the other guy is the holding mid. In that setup I think Skipp could be the one.Bissouma walks into our midfield don’t he? Unbelievable signing. We think he will partner Bentecur? Perisic another starter at LWB.
