It is pretty amazing that we could get Conte. If we manage to get this over the line I'll be very impressed and happy.
Conte | Spurs Manager
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Alonso was an extremely good wing back, far better than he is given credit for, he wasn’t that great a defender but his height and positional sense particularly when he was overlapping Hazard created havoc at times.
Dave in a three with Luiz and Cahill was a decent combination and when Luiz stepped into midfield he had a decent range of passes in his loc but all the while you had Kante and that in one is something Spurs are no where near close to having in terms of like for like
Yeah, I think if you can get him in you have a very good chance of getting top 4. For all his faults he is on par with Pep in getting league results.
Be interesting to see who he targets in the transfer market as I suspect he will go 343 351 with you. From the outside looking in I see this as your team:
Lloris
Sanchez Alderweireld Rodon
Aurier Ndombele Hojberg Regulion
Son Kane Moura
I would say he may target a CB, CM and and LWF (or whoever is opposite to Son.) Key will be keeping Kane as otherwise I see him wanting Lukaku.
Still think Spurs need a bit of a squad rebuild, even with Conte who is a great manager.
Doesnt Conte usually play with only 2 up top(3-5-2)? His width coming from wing backs not wingers so to speak? So more a case of Hojbjerg sitting at the base of the midfield five and in front of him the two CM's(Ndombele and Alli or Lo Celso) alongside the wingbacks of Reguillon and Doherty. With Kane and Son up top, if Kane stays put of course.
Thats what I envisage though he may opt for winks in the midfield if he feels the back three require a bit more protection (and unless they get some decent reinforcements there I think they would) ... that said I think if the right offer comes in for Kane levy wont hesitate to accept it
He can stay with Spurs for 1-2 years. Most likely until then we will have sorted our current holes by buying a couple of very good and youngish players. No major transfers needed by then. He can then come to us to win the league. We just can’t allow Conte to bring expensive pensioners to the club. After 2 seasons he then leaves us and we will still have a relatively young squad. That’s Conte’s next 3-4 years sorted. 
He's a world class coach but he could only work under one particular circumstance. He's also prone into explosive and abrupt decision if he feels the board had failed to back him up in the slightest. TBH i dont know what game Levy playing is? He sacked their best PL manager Pochettino then hire a past it manager Mourinho and then he went on to sack Mourinho just few days before the final. I think he's gone bonker and believe the hype of best CEO in PL is getting into his head, so yeah good luck trying to control abrassive man like Antonio Conte .Ooh to some giddy spurs fan i must remind them that PL is so filthy rich nowadays that even club like Everton could hire Ancelotti.
.Ooh to some giddy spurs fan i must remind them that PL is so filthy rich nowadays that even club like Everton could hire Ancelotti.Again, not like for like. Alonso was good going forward, but Reguillon is a better player. Spurs have some talent in the team with him, Ndombele, Kane, Son and I can imagine Doherty doing far better in that role too.
It was a good Chelsea team, but it wasn’t a great one. If you take Hazard, Costa and Kante out of it, it’s just OK. And again, he won the title with that team instantly.
His mandate at Spurs wouldn’t be the title.
If his team at Spurs was…
Lloris
Sanchez
Top CB
Dier
Doherty
Top CM
Ndombele
Reguillon
Bale
Kane
Son
I am just saying that I would fancy him to challenge for top 4 instantly. He is a great coach and the more he is allowed to add, the more dangerous he will make Spurs.
If levy supports him like he did Mourinho. It will work way better than expected

Looks like this is going a bit sour today from what's being reported online.
Indeed, seems like a massive waste of time the two parties even talking tbh. Conte is even more demanding and combustible than Mourinho and Spurs are a club who are just happy to be at the table they're not interested in actually ordering anything
Spurs fans thinkin its done dealio 
So I've got a fanatical Spurs supporting mate. According to their sources, this is a done dealio (along with Paratici) and they want to announce them together, but Paratici wants this weekend to be Juve-focused given his goodbye today - therefore we should expect an announcement on Monday. It's wild enough that I believe it could be true, but we'll see.Spurs fans thinkin its done dealio
spurs wont make top 4. Simply because they wont have the funding for Conte, like the other clubs will for their respective managers.
I'll bet soon youll read something about Conte being concerned regarding amount of money available to buy players. He's transfer fecking mad hahah
Unless they sell Kane.
Guess Levy told him about their budget next summer.
Partici is done
Yes, which is what has Spurs fans believing the above rumor is true (a double announcement of Paratici and Conte on Monday). Relatedly, Paratici feels like the bigger get than Conte, given his projected longevity and ability to put a stamp on the club - as opposed to Conte who may only be there two years (if he signs).
No chance Paratici is coming without Conte, IMO.
If you were thinking over a job offer like this. Would you brief a journalist that you were unsure? Would his agent? Doubt it on both counts.
Yes, it's strange that a team in midtable sacks their manager whilst the team in 2nd 'persists' with theirs.
Conte would be making a bit of mistake going to Spurs though. His stock is high at the moment, a better job is bound to come along if he's patient enough.
Yes if I wanted to gain edge in negotiations.
You guys were saying this about Mourinho also. Levy's pulling a fast one so he doesn't have to spend on the squad again.
maybe, but let’s be frank we know 90% of what is written is speculative BS and we should ignore the vast majority of it.
Almost feel sorry for the poor Spurs fans who got pulled into this.
Why not just say it to his face? Not like the fans are going to be able to get him an extra 10 mil
Came here to mention this. Conte who always complains about not getting good enough players in a transfer window, will join the stingiest club in the PL? Sounds logical.
Are you being serious? 90% of the stuff on twitter is BS, the fact people dont think Conte knew the squad.
What does this even mean, in context to what @balaks said?
There was similar excitement around Mourinho joining as a proven winner and a sure sign of silverware. Meanwhile the squad isn't good enough, regardless of who the manager is
im not even sure conte will take the job tbh, unless hes promised huge funds. Levy wont do that
If you arent excited by a new manager, I really dunno why you would bother watching the sport.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be excited, merely suggesting the Tottenham squad needs some improvements before any manager will win something. Should still get top 4 next year though.
If he's having doubts he knows where to come
It has nothing to do with what I said
They haven't worked together for years so I really don't see why Paratici is suddenly wedded to Conte. If Spurs think he is the right guy to be DOF then it should not matter who the manager is. If they are appointing Paratici just as a way to lure Conte then more fool them.
