Conte wants Traore.He is already being unhappy with Tottenham.
Conte: "I've made evaluations about the squad. I have spoken with the club and I hope the club will listen to me," he said.
It's January 22, and they are being linked with Adama "zero end product" Traore. Did any of you think Conte will be happy with 4th tier players Tottenham are going to bring him ?
While this will be plain stupid, we should go all IN for him in the summer.

Yeah Traore has Conte player written all over him. Traore is like a RWB Conte wet dream.He is already being unhappy with Tottenham.

If this goes the way it looks to be going, Conte will leave before the beginning of next season.
I wonder then if Spurs fans will turn on Levy. Conte could do something with Spurs if his demands are met but Levy is frugal.

How did you know that? Traore is your target for even before Conte comes to you, isn't him ?
He may want player on that position, but i very much doubt that Traore is going to be Conte choice.
Conte always want a clinical players, and Traore has zero end product. No matter of the position he play or that Conte would try to use him as RWB.
Alonso for example was very clinical, and has good crossing and passing, and also very clinical in front of goals, unlike Traore who is terrible in all of this departments.
Traore is 3-4 tier player, that's what i see, sorry. But maybe Conte will turn him into tier 2 player maybe.
He doesn't fit in United. Whatever that means....He is already being unhappy with Tottenham.

Can’t say this has impressed me much today. Lost 3/3 v Chelsea in the past two weeks and it’s all looked pretty toothless.
Would love it if he signs a bunch of wasters and then fecks off less then a year later.
Chelsea have a vastly superior squad to us
Oh sure but you’ve just got nowhere near them? Expected not given your recent form and what’s been said about Conte.
Looked pretty devoid of anything which is odd given how pragmatic Conte can be.
Chelsea just always beat us, I think there is a mental thing there too but generally they are just much stronger than us.
I think he'd rather finish fifth with these players than fourth, having squeezed every last drop of the players at his disposal.
That squad needs a refresh.

Might as well not have turned up today. Cowardly set up.
At times they just have 24 percent possession. Awful stuff really.
Tbh don’t think that’s an excuse for those three performances. Again it’s surprising to me as its looked like you’d turned a corner but yeah just really poor.
We've already been down that road, had Mourinho, set up defensively in every game trying to nick it on the counter. Don't understand why people wanted him.
If he is our manager, we would probably bid 80 million for Lukaku next summer just to complete the whole absurdity of the move.

Not arguing we haven't been poor in those games because we have but when you have an obviously not good enough academy kid gifting them three goals in two if those games you are in big trouble. Tanganga wouldn't get in any other premier League team but that unfortunately is where we are right now. Half the squad is lower premier League/championship standard and I genuinely mean that
I do understand that the squad needs work and I don’t think I’d be as critical if you’d played well in other areas but still been beaten as you could say the signs are there.
I just think as a neutral looking in I couldn’t see anything of what is being implemented if I’m honest and don’t think Chelsea had to get out of 2nd gear.
Yeah it's not great and probably the three easiest games they have had all season. Still think Conte is doing great considering the standard of the players he has.
I guess the question is has Comte got the desire for a long term rebuild? Surely it goes beyond next season when his contract expires
Well only time will tell. There is no way he came into this job thinking we were great though. He knew what he was getting into. The only unknown is whether he will get sufficiently backed
The 18 month contract still confuses me in that sense. Did Conte not want more or Spurs? Surely it was obvious the job was bigger as you point out so I think to question Contes commitment is valid as something doesn’t add up.
We dudged a bullet here.
Conte is another Mourinho, stuck in the past. Modern elite managers always outplay these dinosaurs.

I am not trying to be rude, but i think in two years time he has left spurs in a bad place.
Spurs should have went for a more attack minded coach like Hassenhuttle or even potter.
I was looking at the stats on flashscore at times today and at one stage spurs only had 23% possession.
But if he wins something, then it is justified.
I hope people stop using Conte one way or the other. He's doing OK at Spurs, not great but not terrible and the race for 4th isn't over yet. He'll to improve Spurs' away record which I don't think has been too great since he came in.
If Spurs can bring in some players I think it'll motivate Conte otherwise they'll need to impress him in the summer if he's to stay.

When people say you can't polish a turd, this is where it applies. The Spurs team is full of shite.
He played with 4 full backs none of them particularly known for their great attacking prowess.
No idea but it is what it is. I'm just very grateful we have him and I just hope he gets properly backed or he will likely walk
Could we be in a worse place than we are now in terms of squad quality? I doubt it. Simple fact is we don't have the players
Where’s the “we missed out on Conte” crowd? I know he’s trying to polish a turd but some need to realise a manager isn’t the be all and end all of a clubs issues.
What he is going to start doing is buying these questionable players that fit his counter attacking philosophy. The way mourinho wanted perisic when he was managing us.
Conte isn't Mourinho
He’s pretty close tbh, don’t know what other manager would start a big game with 4 defensive full backs apart from those two.
What other options did he have? Did you see our bench? We have no squad lads
Hes a counter attacking manager. Same with Simone.
They play similar systems sure but the similarities end there imo
Start Moura and Skipp.
Skipp not fully fit and Steve B deserved a start over Moura
I recall two years ago warning you about Mourinho and you were in denial.
My honest unbiased opinion is that Spurs are heading for the same under Conte. If you had gotten potter or Hassenhuttle, then i would say things look good for you.
Ok well I disagree and as I've said before Conte is not Mourinho
That was a shocking team to put out. Why does Doherty start so often?
