Djed Spence

Wouldn't be able to play for us until next season, so could see why we may wait until Summer perhaps.
 
I was not aware of that. But we could still get the deal done and loan him back before someone else steps in
 
Must admit, he's not overly impressing in the play-off final. He's clearly athletic, but his touch doesn't seem great and he's lazy with his tracking. It would be interesting to see if a Conte boot camp would be the making or breaking of him.
 
If Paratici has 10 to 20 offers per window as reported, he must have 50 to 100 targets per window too.. I'll believe it when the players puts on the shirt. Learnt my lesson from the Wiilian/Chelsea debacle years ago.

I thought he was pretty good. Very good with his positioning and used the ball well…. No real space for him to get in behind Huddersfield at 0-0 and then mainly stayed back to help Forest defend their 1-0 lead once they were up.
 
Just watched the Championship Playoff Final and saw nothing of note from Spence. No better than Emerson on this showing. I may have missed some impressive moments as I fell asleep a few times - dreadful game in comparison to previous years.

But 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.

He was playing against a team set up very differently…. You have to look at the whole game instead of making direct comparisons between totally different match-ups.
 
I know it's easy to be critical but I thought he's short passing was a bit lazy and sloppy, also like GB says he didn't seem to be busting a gut to track back on several occasions (although Conte could probably fix that part!). On the plus side he does look athletic, pacey, had the full back pinned back and scared to push forward and can put a good whipped ball in the box.
