So late in the window I can only see Conte happy to sign former players so that he doesn't have to teach them his tactics during the season. He won't have time for that.

Don’t believe this

Do you think we will sign a player that hasn't had pre season with Conte and expect them to walk into the Starting XI.

If we don't sign his former players I think the signings will be squad fillers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s exactly what Kulusevski & bentancur did

We could also sign someone from the prem. Maddison for example would maybe need a couple of weeks to get used to things but he'd be ready to play right away if we wanted.

I don't understand why we're not pushing for Maddison

Yeah me too. Leicester are being weird about letting players go even though they're all kinds of facked.

Out of interest would you apply the same logic to every other Manager in the league trying to sign players?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd apply it to every manager trying to challenge for the league. You can't afford to give up an early advantage to undercooked signings. Spurs have done this regularly in the past. I'm seeing shoots of improvement just hoping we go that extra mile before the window shuts.

I think you're guilty of over thinking and over analysing things sometimes Loavirgo

Maybe, this is what happens when you support Spurs. Nothing is ever as it seems.

we should have gone for Max Kilman or Nathan Collins
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Max Kilman sounds like a character from a Jason Statham film.

Paqueta to West Ham?

Don't understand why Spence isn't being given a chance, looked great from what I saw last season watched a good number of Forest games. Has he not been impressing in training or something?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conte has said he was a club signing and that possibly means cameo roles for this season.

It will take a few injuries for Spence to get a game
