Five Tottenham players in need of an upgrade...starting with the keeper.
Having won seven of their first ten Premier League games of the season, Tottenham have since won just three of their last nine. Antonio Conte continues to publicly denounce the way the club does things and barring a £200m spend in the last ten days of the transfer window, will surely be on his way when his contract is up at the end of the season.
There is plenty of talent for a new manager, or indeed Conte if he stays, to build around , but this lot could do with an upgrade…, leading people to suggest he’s past it. But he’s had loads of periods like this in his decade-long stint at Tottenham, only for a flick to be switched that turns him back into a brilliant goalkeeper.
But he’s 36 and for the sake of Spurs it would make a lot of sense to stop Spursiness at its source. They will struggle to find anyone as good as Lloris at his best, but the Frenchman’s worst makes that pill far easier to swallow.No amount of glow up will make Eric Dier a worthy centre-back partner for Cristian Romero. Dier has been about as good as he can be under Antonio Conte, and his was an enjoyable mini-redemption story. But plonked next to Romero he looks adequate at best.
It’s always going to be the case that one partner is better than the other, but you get the sense with Dier that he’s all right at everything but not brilliant at anything. No other Big Six Premier League club would take him as anything other than a squad player, and you can’t imagine him looking hugely out of place playing for a team in the bottom half of the table.He’s been picked as the fall guy for a general right-back problem at Tottenham.
Spence will in all likelihood outlast Conte as Spurs and nothing we’ve seen suggests he isn’t capable of making the right-back or right wing-back spot his own.
