Son and Kane - will both see more scoring opportunities

Reggy and Emerson - both are best situated as wingbacks

Lo Celso and Ndombele - both will likely be given the first shot at the more advanced CMs, will require lots of energy, but also chances to be involved in the attack.

Bryan - looks like he will battle Sessegnon to be the backup to Reguilon at LWB. I don't think he has the size/strength to play one of the CM spots

Romero - already becoming a key component in the back-line, will be entrenched under Conte.

Losers

Bergwijn/Lucas - Both are similarly situated. Could back-up the Forward spots, or transition to wingback.

Skippy - initially can't see him in the XI, think Conte will prefer experience. Long-term, I think he could end up in any of the CM roles.

Dele - he is going to have to impress in training with his work-rate. I could see him improving into one of the CM roles, if Conte can simplify things for him.

Winks - I just don't think he has the size/strength/tenacity to play any of the CM roles under Conte.
I've been saying for a long time that I think Lucas Moura should be tried at RWB. Under Mourinho, he did a lot of great work out of possession, which allowed Son to make runs (which Kane kept picking out) more freely without leaving the team exposed if/when dispossessed.

I’ll give every player in the squad one last chance under this manager. I’ve written off many of them, quite loudly, but let’s see what this man wants to do with this team!

“But the contagious enthusiasm and determination of Daniel Levy in wanting to entrust me with this task had already hit the mark. Now that the opportunity has returned, I have chosen to take it with great conviction.”

"Also Daniel Levy is a very cool and funny man and he's much taller than photos of him suggest."

I was "eh?" with Harry, "Errrrr" with AVB, "Noooooooooooooooooooooooo" with Tim. "Oooh" with Poch, "Hmmm" with Maurine, "Really?" with Mason and "Meh" with Nuno.

I am happy with Conte. Good day for Spurs

I could very easily see Lucas or Bergwijn adapting to a RWB role. Not sure Emerson has the attacking instincts required.

I think I just sneezed, coughed, sharted and came all at the same time. How the fuck have we managed to get Conte as our Manager.

This is incredible.

He needs to re hash this before we play City whilst namedropping Dele. Pep will love that.
