Should Conte sign for Tottenham?

  Antonio Conte leaves Inter over plan to sell €80m of players this summer | Internazionale | The Guardian  

    As reported by many news outlets Antonio Conte is in advanced talks with Tottenham Hotspur, should he take the job or not? My opinion on the matter is that he shouldn't take the job because of Tottenham's track record and roster. But if he were to join what would he do?

    I believe if Conte were to sign with Spurs, Harry Kane and Son would stay one more year. He his a quality manager and has a proven track record of winning trophies recently, which Mourinho did really have(the last trophy he won was in 2016/17).  We also know Harry Kane wanted Mourinho to stay, which is another sign that he wants to work with the best managers. 

    My main question about this job is Tottenham's squad. In their Champions League Final season their top 3 most used players were Toby Alderweireld, Christian Eriksen and Hugo Lloris. This past season the top 3 most used players were Hugo Lloris, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Heung Min-Son. Now this is honestly a good top three but, they have also downgraded in some positions such as Right Back like going from Kieran Trippier(A starter for La Liga winning side Atletico Madrid) to Matt Doherty. They also saw a decrease in production from Dele Ali and key defenders such as Jan Vertonghen and Danny Rose have left on free transfer or loan deals.

    The under performed this season and another worry I have is if Jose couldn't do it can Conte. There are many questions that would need to be answered and this would be by far the most challenging job for Conte. But I think Conte likes challenges.

Why the Diogo Jota signing makes so much sense for Liverpool

            Diogo Jota. A Portuguese international, a versatile piece for any offense. His primary position is on the left wing but can also play as a striker or shadow striker. Liverpool spent around 41 million euros on him which could rise to 45 million. In the 2019/20 season, Jota played at Wolverhampton. So let's talk about his season 2019/20: Diogo Jota played in 48 games in all competitions, 42 if you do not include Europa League qualifying. I will also exclude Europa League because that is not a competition Liverpool will be playing in next year. So that leaves us with the Premier League. In the Premier League, he played in 34 out of the 38 games. In those 34 appearances, he played 2,298 minutes. During these games, he recorded 7 goals and 1 assist. He is also most dangerous as a left winger as 7 goals and 1 assist came from him playing on the left wing.  So after you look at his resume for the last season you may think it is not very impre...

Did Liverpool Finesse two Premier League teams?

  Liverpool had two prospects last season, one Rhian Brewster who spent the season on loan at Swasnsea in the EFL Championship. He played 20 games and scored 10 goals which is good for 19-20 year old but then you need to consider the price tag. Sheffield United payed 28.60 million for 10 Championship goals, and that is absolutely mad. Another factor is the values reported from transfermarkt. His value right now is only 5.94 million dollar. They paid like over 4 times the value of him. The potential may be there but there needs to be something Sheffield sees in him that others don't because you don't just pay nearly 30 million for a normal prospect.  The second player Ki-Jana Hoever situation is also kind of strange as the 18 year old had never before played in an actual Premier League game. Since his transfer to Wolves he has seen a total of 29 minutes of Premier League action as he will sit behind Nelson Semedo for the tie being. His only really experiences in games have been...
