Isn’t this guy out of contract soon? And returning to Boro?

It's a pretty much a right wing Daily Mail reaction,it's a bit daft what he did but hes young and I did a lot worse things when I was his age.The reaction in here
He’s having a joke lads calm down, hope you haven’t all wrote a furious letter to the daily mail.
Forest want to sign himFair enough, he's okay but nothing special. Doesn't fit with us given he's a better RWB/RM.
What battle? I haven't heard any other teams linked with him.

Just what spurs need, another wing backThe Chief Sports Writer (Scott Wilson) of the Northern Echo reckons that: "Tottenham’s interest is ... at an advanced stage, and there is a growing confidence within the Spurs hierarchy that they will win the battle to sign the 21-year-old."

We have two right-sided wing-backs currently - Emerson Royale and Doherty (three if you count Tanganga, who is more of a utility RB/CB player). However, it's not clear if Conte wants to keep both of these, or even either of them, so on the assumption that one of them is sold it would mean Spence, if signed, would be one of two specialist wing-backs ... which wouldn't seem to be too many.Just what spurs need, another wing back
He isn't any better than Ethan Laird.Around £20m apparently.
We should be all over this, the money raised from AWB would make this like a swap.
I keep seeing this about Laird but the lad struggled to get into the Bournemouth team. Who the feck do Bournemouth have at RB keeping a 20m+ rated player out of the side?He isn't any better than Ethan Laird.
Jed pretty much.How do you pronounce his first name, is it a silent D?
He was injured a lot at the turn of the year when he first went there. When he got back to full fitness he started establishing himself in the team. I’d be happy for him to go back to Bournemouth for the year if he was wanted.I keep seeing this about Laird but the lad struggled to get into the Bournemouth team.

Some loans work out better than others. Laird was very good for Swansea. Garner performed better for Forest than Watford. Neil Warnock obviously didn't consider Djed Spence a starter for Middlesbrough at the time.I keep seeing this about Laird but the lad struggled to get into the Bournemouth team.

Unbelievable, DjedHow do you pronounce his first name, is it a silent D?

I've been pronouncing his name the same way I would if Woodward was on the decks.Jed pretty much.
Can see logic in Spurs wanting him given his profile is type Conte likes with wing backs.
He may develop into a top player, but is he actually better than Bissaka now as a full back rather than as a wing back? OR is he better than Dalot?Around £20m apparently.

Colin deserves every bit of shade that is thrown his way.Warnock is a bit of a prick. Not sure why so many on the last page were offended by that tweet.
No.He may develop into a top player, but is he actually better than Bissaka now as a full back rather than as a wing back? OR is he better than Dalot?
Don't believe he ever was a target and as others have mentioned I am not convinced he offers anything we don't have in Laird. Spence is good as a wing back and Laird was excellent in that role for Swansea, both of them are a lot less convincing as orthodox fullbacks in a back 4 so stick with the one we have developed rather than spend 20M to buy what we already have.Another target missed
They are getting business done early but neither signing really moves the needle much for me in terms of next year. Spence could be one for the future though.Assuming Perisic was also signed to be a wingback on the other side(?), that’s two positions of priority in the Spurs side signed very early before pre-season even starts. Good start for Conte…
How do you know he was a target? Ten Haag has probably never even heard of him. Trust the process Rome wasn't built in a day.Another target missed
What LWBs out there have the level of production of Perisic? If he doesn't move the needle then who would have?They are getting business done early but neither signing really moves the needle much for me in terms of next year. Spence could be one for the future though.
People were talking about Spurs maybe challenging next year if everything broke right but if the signings are the level of Perisic and Spence and if they're not getting Bastoni but instead a player like Torres or Lenglet for the LCB, then I just don't see it. These types of players will make them slightly stronger contenders to finish top four again but they need prime age top quality players to take a real leap forward and have a serious go before Kane and Son exit their primes.
