Seems fair to me. Like every young player, Spence will get a chance in the team due to injury or rotation and, when he does, he needs to play well and stay there.
He will get his chance because he’s the best RWB at the club. His all round game is ahead of the rest of them, and whilst he might have to wait a few weeks to get up to speed once there it won’t take long for him to be first choice….

Is he though? He's young and hasn't had Prem experience, so I wouldn't expect him to go straight in ahead of Doherty and Royal.
Admittedly, I've not seen much of him except for some highlight videos, but I'm sure Conte and co will have a good idea of his capabilities by now. If they decide to stick him straight in, fair enough.
Having watched a lot of him in the Championship, and in the cup against the likes of Arsenal he is better than anyone we have going forward and is defensively very good too with a great engine. He starred against Arsenal, I honestly do rate him very highly. But Conte likes his players to be in peak physical condition so he wont be stuck straight in, but I dont see it being long for him to establish himself as the main man....

That bodes very well indeed. I do hope you're right!
He's going to flop isn't he
Obviously with the caveat at his young age he will make errors being tested week in week out at this level, but I honestly think he has all the raw ingredients in the same way walker did when we signed him. When I first saw him linked with us, I was delighted. Obviously don't want to put pressure on him, but I do think he is going to be great once properly bedded in.....

Hope you're right, haven't seen nearly as much of him as you, but excited to see what he can do.
In addition to physical condition I think it's important to remember that Conte is very much a system manager. He has shown that he can integrate players fairly quickly, but he may want to give Spence a bit of time to get used to the system before chucking him in. Or trusting the players that know the system better more at first.

All I’ve seen are Youtube clips of Spence playing and him interviewed. But I’ve interviewed hundreds of people in my work, and maybe I can occasionally get an appreciation of character from snippets.
What is promising is his boldness. It’s not exactly maturity, more a vision of himself and the confidence to achieve it. I think he has the physical attributes to back up his pomp. He needs to put in the hard work behind the scenes, learn the drills, attain the fitness. And then we have to give him a bit of time.
Sessengon is similar really. He’s had many more games at a high level but is the same age and needs half a season of regular games.

If he doesn't hit the ground running, I think we should be willing to give him a year or two as long as the application, tenacity, and ultimately progression in terms of his individual development and team sense. He might've been a big fish in a little pond at Forest but he will have to humble himself as a little fish now. Playing 42 matches last season is extremely impressive though (not sure if that's just regular season games or includes the playoffs too, but doesn't really matter either way).
No idea but moura came on for emerson. So doherty isn't getting a sniff. Let alone spence (who was in the squad, just not on the bench). All 4 seems too many, some will need game time.
Maybe a loan abroad? Or sell one. Dunno.

Chasing a game is the reason Moura came on, it was t really à like for like sub
True. But if emerson is a defensive wingback, moura for chasing a game. Where does that leave doherty and spence? Do we need all 4?
He has been playing Moura wingback since pre season and Conte said he is an option there. Doherty is considered a more attacking wing back than Emerson, and has previously been brought on when needing a goal. He has now turned to Moura for that role, so it doesn’t seem Doherty has much of a future with Spence also here….
