Conte could make Spurs finish in top 4 if they can keep both Kane and Son.

Don't think anyone is after Son, which is kinda surprising but as for Kane, does he want to settle for another season challenging for the Top 4?

Probably not, but it isn't like Kane has any choice if Levy doesn't want to sell him.

What Spurs could do though is sell Kane to City and then get Lukaku from Inter for potentially less than what they sell Kane for and use the remaining money to bolster 1-2 positions.

Conte is reportedly asking for more wages than what Spurs are willing to offer. What a shocker!

Yeah, if Levy is smart enough.

Conte will definitely get them back into top 4, that is a guarantee, he is a winner. What comes after that ie. once he has achieved his INITIAL target? We all know that, Inter knows that, his ego takes over and we will watch it burn.

The man has no loyalty, that’s been shown before, so no need to anybody. Serial winner. Hopefully prices himself out of the move.

The man is not in need of money, he would much rather want money for players etc

Yeah he will make them compete again in the short term but I still smell 0 titles for them under Conte.They won't go far in Europe, apart from 2018 he usually fucks up the cups and most importantly he will make them buy some average washed out players, maybe bringing along vidal and Perisic and leave them with a burned out old squad on a huge wage bill for another decade of mediocrity when he leaves 2 years later.

To be fair, its not as if he has the pick of jobs. If you want to work these days without waiting forever you have to break allegiances, simple as that. 

Its not a lack of loyalty for instance as much as it is a lack of other opportunities as well. Plus we sacked him so its not as if he left on good terms is it? Thats maybe a motivation. As it would of been for Jose to go to United and Spurs also to try one up us and then United no? 

Players are the same now but in general, loyalty is hard to come by because clubs will bin a player/manager as quickly as something goes wrong/it doesn’t quite go well in some instances. I mean I have no doubts that the “Kevin de Bruyne and Mo Salah Chelsea reject talk” or whatever people wanted to use would of influenced their decisions to sign for big rivals of ours perhaps as well as wanting to prove them wrong.

Conte will happily go to Spurs I reckon. His relationship with Chelsea broke down so much I'm sure a rivalry wouldn't bother him

No denying it would be a big statement appointment but without adequate funding Conte is going to find far more frustration ahead than he did at Inter and Chelsea.

Yes and no for me. 

If we are honest, he didn’t really want David Luiz (Bonucci was first choice wasnt he?), Marcos Alonso (Alex Sandro), Michy Batshuayi (surely couldn’t of been first choice) and Ngolo Kante (he wanted someone else but at least we got him 😉) as first choices but got them and won a league title with them as he had good players in other positions also.

Say Spurs keep Kane they’ve got him, Son, Ndombele, Regullion, Lo Celso and Hoijberg which isn’t the worst basis to start with. In fact probably playing with a 343 or 352 is what might unlock a way for them to get all those players in the same team.

I do agree re finances though, unless Spurs change their model and get a few big players in he isn’t do anything as amazing as what he did here or at Inter that but top 4 should be achievable. He is probably one of the best coaches at stamping his identity on a team in a short period of time though but again there is a lot of deadwood and they need a new GK, 2 new CBs and a RB at least.

 Conte always wants big signings, match that with tightwad Levy. No chance of this happening.

I'm not sure about this he got the likes of Ashley Young, Moses, Kolarov wanted the likes of Giroud, Vidal, Alonso he usually wants whatever he thinks fits his team no matter if they are expensive or cheap.

Are people really surprised/shocked that Conte could go to Spurs even though he managed us?

This is the same person who had/has an allegiance with Juventus, having played there for almost his entire career as a player and managed them as well, but then went to manage their arch rivals Inter Milan.
