‘Not the manager’: TalkSPORT pundit thinks players may be put off signing for Tottenham because of Conte
TalkS🌠PORT pundits Danny Murphy and Simon Jordan have contrasting views on whether Antonio Conte will be able to attract top players to Tottenham.
Th🌟e pair had differing 🍬opinions on whether the Italian’s “workaholic” reputation might put big players off from making the move to north London.
Conte is a serial winner who has won the league title with Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan, but he argu🗹ably faces the😼 toughest challenge of his career doing the same with Spurs.
Daniel Levy’s Spurs have been the nearly men in recent years, but have seemingly lꦚacked that ambition to k🗹ick on and consistently challenge with the biggest teams in the country.
The 52-year-old signed Juventus duo Rodrigo Ben💟tancur and Dejan Kulusevski on the last day of🥃 the January transfer window.
And he will be hoping to significantly bolster hi🍬s squad further in the summer market and this 🔴is where Murphy and Jordan disagreed on how the intense Conte, who demands a lot from his players, will fare.
that “everybody wants to play for Conte”, Murphy responded: “That’s a personal thing because if you know him and have worked with him then ‘yes’ would be the answer, but ‘no’ looking from a🌸 far.
“Do you want to play for 🦂a highly e൲motional, workaholic manager who has you training like a demon and doesn’t take any backchat?
“I’m not sure he’s the most appealing manager in the world if ꧃you don’t know him.
“If I was playing now, I wouldn’t be thinking I’d 🥂love to go and play for Conte and play under a tyrant in a nice way – that’s not the manager I would want to go and play for.”
However, in stark contrast to Murphy’s thoughts on Con🐠te, Jordan felt the influential Italian will have huge pulling power.
The former Crystal Palace chairman said: “If you’re a top player? Surely it’s not about the perception of a manager whether he is a workꦕah♕olic or someone that drives you to be in a position where you’re the very best you can be.
“Surely if you’re a top player that’s the environment you want to bᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe in, Conte is someone that 𝓀drives you to a level of attainment.
“He takes Victor Moses fro🥀m𓃲 a bit [part] player at Chelsea to a Premier League winning wing-back.
“Players will look at it and surely think ‘if I ♎fancy going to Tottenham because [Conte’s] in the mix then tha𒁏t’s an allure not a deterrent.”
