Not worried about Conte and Spurs at all. Seriously why worry about them? You guys worrying they will compete for CL qualification? we are 20 points behind Pool and City that should be our worry. Maybe you guys feel catching up to City and Pool is out of reach.

Conte is very chaotic, he will be leaving Spurs in a couple of years. Maybe win a Mickey Mouse trophy along the way, that is all.

I'm capable of worrying about many things. 🙂

In Tottenham's case I love reminding people that they have won just one trophy in the last thirty years. I only ever want to have to update the number of years, not the number of trophies.

My worry is what CL qualification did for their ability to retain Antonio, to recruit players to add to their two superstars, for the prospect of their establishing themselves as regulars in the CL thus adding glamour and money to their recruitment firepower. They already have the stadium and the training facilities. Spurs competing for top honours is not something I ever want to see. I don't even like to hear that a Tottenham team won a game of five-a-side in training.

If Jorginho and Kante leave should we not simply replace them with like for like, such as De Jong and Bissouma?

Add Gallagher to the mix and a decently priced DM, we should be sorted?

With the experience players we’re already losing at the back I don’t see any scenario now where either of these two leave. Especially not after Tuchel spoke of Kante as though he’s our talisman and best player.

Tuchel doesn't run the club.

Boehly, who's focus is solely on self sustainability, will not see a player who's now injured 50% of the time and his main strength diminishing (athleticism) still earning 300kpw as a cost effective strategy.

Conte won’t stay at Spurs long enough, like I said he is way too chaotic. There is no harmony with him, he is like Mourhino things will deteriorate or he will leave before that.

Spurs can’t attract top players, add some solid players. Maybe win a cup, I don’t see them becoming a legit threat. They are bad news for Arsenal and United. If you see our positioning barely staying at the top 4 yes they are a threat, but if the goal is to compete for PL then I am not worried.

1. Conte's football isn't sustainable in the Premier League. Even more so with Klopp and Pep setting the standard of progressive football. 

2. Conte never had a good track record managing cup competitions and the league. 

3. Conte is abysmal in Europe

4. Conte is abysmal in cup competitions. 

5. Conte will always be unsatisfied.

I think at least initially Boehly will defer entirely to Tuchel when it comes to who he wants to retain and who he wants to bring in. He’s not going to want to unsettle things more than they already are. 

If Tuchel insists that he wants Kante to stay or even given a new contract I think Boehly will say yes.

If any new contract is offered i would imagine it would be significantly less than what Kante is earning now. 

And if Kante is disagreeing, no doubt they sell.

You have to understand that I do not only worry about Spurs finishing above us, which I do of course, I also worry about them finishing above ANYBODY!

Well, that's not strictly true. I'd like to see them finish seventeenth every season. I don't want them to go down because I love the two games each season far too much. I say 'enjoy' but the tension often takes over in the build up to the game. Not losing to them regularly means more to me than beating them. Lot's of people criticised Eden for taking the ball from that free kick at the edge of their box and running it into the corner. Not me, I loved it. I was on my feet punching the air yelling, "Go on Eden. Go on son!"

More seriously than my reply above: -

You clearly know Conte better than I do so I hope you are right that it will burn out for him at Spurs. I have huge respect for his ability and am definitely worried about what he might achieve with Tottenham.

They would need to build their reputation but they have many of the pieces required to do so in place. CL qualification is a big, perhaps ahead of schedule, boost for them.

Neville was spot on regarding Conte. 

"Under Conte's management, it is genuinely a military regime. It's methodical. He improves players. 18 months to 24 months later, the players are frazzled. Conte is frazzled. Then he leaves." 

It's why I always say his football was never sustainable. We have nothing to worry about with Spurs. They will sign Conte esq players, then he will leave, leaving Spurs with a bunch of old, systematic only players.
