That will never happen. They need proper investment for starters.Of course but you have to factor in spursy things of spurs but he will slowly make them less spursy. He is that good anyway.

We do and it will all hinge on this summer. Though the signings of Bentancur and Kulu show that you don't necessarily need to spend a fortune to get players of the required quality.That will never happen. They need proper investment for starters.
Arsenal s two games in hand are not much to be honest. One is against spurs and another against chelsea. So nothing between them to be honest.

Spurs are back to their best, reminiscent of the heights they reached under Pochettino. I expect them to be in the chase for the title next season provided Conte is backed with a few key additions
Wouldn't go that far.
90 point season is beyond them especially if they're back in CL.
Perhaps they could reach level of Chelsea, involved in title race up to December and then finishing reasonable 3rd.
They both look top class to me and I've seen enough to know they have made our team a lot better. Pretty average is your opinion and that's fair enough but I think you are totally incorrect.Judging a couple of players after a few games is beyond ridiculous, especially a Tottenham-fan should know that by now. N’Dombele and Lo Celso were heralded after a few games a year ago and both have left in shame, let’s wait a few minutes before you rate the pretty average Bentancur and Kulusevsli as «required quality», whatever that is for a Tottenham-fan these days. I wouldn’t be very surprised if Kulusevski is warming the bench sometime after the summer, he screams of purpoe patch after playing mostly relegation fodder.
Pochettino got them to 86 points in 2016/17 at his peak with similar quality in the squad. Can't see why Conte can't achieve the same points wise. I do hear what you're saying though, current Liverpool and City are 90 plus point teams
Spurs current squad isn't close to being as good as that one. Not even close.
Which players from the current squad would get in ahead of:
Walker
Vertonghan
Alderweirald
Trippier
Dembele
Eriksen
Alli
Literally the only players that are not a downgrade on that squad are Kane, Son and Lloris and I'm sure you can figure out why that is.
Son and Kane are in better form than they were at that time IMO but I think almost every Spurs fan would much rather have the 2016/17 team than the current one.
*Moura might have a shout of getting into the above side to be fair.
I bet the football people there wanted him, but knew it was never going to happen. The Glazers have a history with both Man Utd and Tampa Bucs of only hiring Yes Men. Them hiring Jose is still perplexing, but Jose has the Jedi mind trick of selling himself.Incredible that Utd rejected him
I'm glad he went to Spurs out of the two.This thread will again go back to normalcy next week when conte lose a game.
Incredible some chelsea fans here want united to hire him when they sacked him few seasons ago.
Fair enough. Our problem aggravated in mourinho era and we don’t want someone on his mould to manage again even at the cost of few trophies. As long as pep and klopp here, I doubt Conte will the PL with any super squad. He’s a Top 6 manager at his best.I'm glad he went to Spurs out of the two.
It always ends hilariously badly with Conte but he gives you an excellent high before the mask slips. For Spurs it will probably be 3rd/4th and a maybe a cup (if they can't win anything under even Conte they never will), for United it could well have been the title, would certainly have been a challenge.
Man you make some of the most childish response. They are top four, so was west ham. The table changes frequently. At the end of the season, Manchester United is suppose to nab fourth spot, then if not us it should be spurs. So far, the end of the season isn't here but united and Spurs haven't achieved that expectation yetSo they are top four then yeah?
Where were they when he took over?
There squad is poor, starting 11 is decent, by Emerson Royal, Doherty, Dier, Davies...would they start for any other top 6 team?
Yeah I don't think he plays negative football. He didn't at Chelsea. He didn't at Inter. He didn't at Juve and he isn't at Spurs. Pressing all the time isn't the only way to play attacking football. I think it comes from the fact that he's a disciplinarian and likes battle hardy footballers.What i found incredible funny is how people keep talking about Conte defensive football, yet all of his teams are top 2 scorers in the league. He outscore US, City and Liverpool when he won the title with Chelsea.
They war far behind us, when he took over, and now they are 3 points clear in front of US. On top of that they already have scored more than us, which wasn't the case when he arrived, we were in front in that too.
Their squad is terrible. Most of their players are below average. He turn it around and make totally garbage players, looks like decent one. He is always doing this in every team he get. There is tons of example for that.
Also people talk about Kane, but Kane has been terrible before Conte come to Spurs. People were saying he is set and done.
He absolutely transformed them, which was obvious, as he is a World Class manager.
Also one last thing as people are claiming he coulnd't do this here at United. You serious? There was stats before he goes to Tottenham and their team was dead last in the running department. They were the laziest squad in the whole league. Yet people are talking that our players are lazy and no one can't motivate them, which is completely untrue. It's about the manager.
I have said it for long time that we made huge mistake not appointing ihm.
I think Mou's comments in 2016 has subconsciously sowed the seed. That and he does play defensively when trying to prove a point (our game at The Ethiad in 2018 was disgusting).Yeah I don't think he plays negative football. He didn't at Chelsea. He didn't at Inter.

Welcome to redcafe. You definitely have a better starting attack, but not a better squad. I agree that poch had a worse squad. You guys have some depth, but not the same depth as united, Liverpool, Chelsea or city. Kulseviski was a brilliant signing. He is really intelligent despite not being that technically gifted or blessed with great athleticism. He compliments Kane and son well.Some serious mental gymnastics going on in here, we have a better squad than United? Poch had a worse squad? We have depth? Dick me gimmie some of what your smoking.
One thing for sure is Spurs has a better manager right now.Some serious mental gymnastics going on in here, we have a better squad than United? Poch had a worse squad? We have depth? Dick me gimmie some of what your smoking.
Poch most definitely did not have a worse squad, that's mental to suggest he did.Welcome to redcafe. You definitely have a better starting attack, but not a better squad.

Couldn't agree more, missing out on Conte when we had to eventually terminate Ole soon after anyway, was a huge mistake from us. I don't know who are the people responsible for that mess, but they need to be held accountable and should be part of their review this year as a massive negative.What i found incredible funny is how people keep talking about Conte defensive football, yet all of his teams are top 2 scorers in the league.

Son, Kane and Alli all scored over 20 goals that season and drove their title challenge. This current Spurs squad is better than the Leicester city team that won the title the season prior, granted it was a weak season. Pochettino remains the only manager to have got a tune out of Alli. I can see Conte pushing this Spurs side past reasonable expectations, but I did add they'd need some key additions did I not?
Uh, no. It's more that we want a manager for longer than 2 years and thought it best to hire from the ilk of ETH/Poch in the summer.I bet the football people there wanted him, but knew it was never going to happen. The Glazers have a history with both Man Utd and Tampa Bucs of only hiring Yes Men. Them hiring Jose is still perplexing, but Jose has the Jedi mind trick of selling himself.
Well what was reported is that our reason for rejecting him was his “style of precise and exact micromanagement” not being “suitable for the players”. In other words our team of spoilt brats couldn’t take another intense manager who has actual expectations.I bet the football people there wanted him, but knew it was never going to happen.

Some gossip about Spurs trying to add Toure within their coaching staff.
He has been in and around the club for a while now, before Christmas, on a part time basis. Seems he’s done enough to get a full contract, no idea if he’s a good coach but will be exciting for the younger players for sure.
People need to get off this guys dick.
