Some of you clearly have barely watched him. I’ve seen a lot of the Championship this season and he has been quality both attacking and defending. Even if he had a poor game today - which he didn’t, that isn’t enough to judge him on….
Not a top-four level player imo
Are Winks, Sanchez, Golini, Rodon, Royal "top four level" in your eyes? They all just finished top four, so by definition they must be, but I find it such a bizarre way to define a player.
On Spence I do think the problem would be that I wouldn't be fully comfortable going in to the season with him + Doherty as our options..He's had a great season no doubt and the championship is a tough league, but I don't think it's as simple as a Conte pre season getting him ready to step up so quickly that he'd be effective in PL crunch games as well as against Europe's elite.
For me, it's a way of assessing players and reflecting Conte's statement that he wants to manage a team competing for the title, not fourth place. How many of our players would be considered by Emirates Marketing Project, Liverpool or Chelsea? Kane, Son, Romero, Lloris possibly Dier, Bentancur Kusulevski. Certainly not Winks, Sanchez, Gollini, Rodon & Royal.

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but what's the deal with the guy who keeps him out of the Boro side? Isaiah Jones?
Is it a naughton and walker thing, and are we definitely looking at the right one?
Maybe we should sign him and loan to Forest for another season lol
Sess played attacking left wing that gameBut compare it to Sessegnon single-handily bossing that fixture 4 years ago. It was just a bit of a wakeup to me that, if he does come, he likely won't be close to threatening the starting 11 for a good 6-12 months.
From what I’ve seen of the two I would say Jones is the more eye catching player going forward (in the same sort of way Moura could be considered eye catching) but not sure his productivity is actually better and all round Spence is the better player….Before the loan to forest spence had an attitude problem allegedly. Boro fans seemed to think jones was the better of the 2. Not watched enough of either to say either way.
