The signing of Richarlison is a strange one for Spurs. He is seen as a luxury signing for Conte as he already has a strong attack. The Brazilian can play on the left as a back up for Son or of an attack or as a number 9 as a back up for Kane. Conte always talks about not having a solid starting 11 as the whole squad should be battling for a place. This does ring through as Spurs really didn't have anyone to bring on last year. Kane was guaranteed a place and I think if he didn't show up then either did Spurs. Don't get me wrong when he did show up he was unbelievable but him and Son do need someone that is biting at their heels and who better than a South American tough forward that is not afraid of the dark arts. Richarlison will get plenty of game time given the sheer amount of games before the world Cup.. Kane and Son can now be rested if Conte desires.
The signing of the Brazilian is music to my ears. Spurs have always had a starting 11 but the best was always youngsters. As Conte was rumoured to have said. I turn around and look at my bench and then look back on the pitch. Richarlison is also a Conte type player. Physical kind of the same style as Diego Costa who he had at Chelsea. And what he can do with this guy may be unbelievable as I still think he is a rough diamond. He's Brazilians number 9 which means something after fighting off the likes of Gabrial Jesus for the privilege. Now Conte will look back at his bench and find direct replacements for his players.
Spence and Lenglet will be in before the weekend which will make it 6 signings for Spurs. They will then look to move on players such as Bergwijn , Winks , Ndombele and Los Celso and keep an eye out for another centre halve and attacking midfielder. I never thought I would say this but we don't need Eriksen so I reckon he will sign for United.
Lenglet is coming on loan for a year as Barcelona try and lower their wage bill. He didn't impress with Barcalona but they signed him because he was an unreal talent and if anyone can harness this it's Antonio Conte.
A photo of Ndombele training came out this week and he was going mad at it. He is trying to impress Barcelona believe it or not. Spurs fans know it is too little too lad. Shit attitude and a wasted talent. YouTube player. Imagine being a professional footballer that cannot last 90 minutes as he is not fit. He is one of the world's top talents but he needs to go. I reckon another loan deal here and it might be Barca if they do not get a Dm in. If not its Turkey for the French man because noone else will have him. It is only then it might dawn on him that he has to put in the effort. Mourinho got the best out of Ndombele and even he moaned about him. Roma might come in but he will have to lower his wages. Conte wants him out the door and rightly so.
In other news the all or nothing Arsenal trailer came out this week and it shows Aaron Ramsdale going mad in the dressing room. I'm looking forward to this and I will have the popcorn ready. Watching them lose their star striker will be a great laugh and seeing them get a drumming from Spurs. @arsenal4life will be canceling his Amazon subscription I imagine. Their clown fans also would have loved to have signed the real Brazil number 9 as well.
