By all accounts, Bastoni had no interest in coming. Is that ENIC's fault? I don't know what the situation was/is with the other two, but we brought in Lenglet instead when it became clear we either couldn't or wouldn't get them. Is that the difference between what we've seen so far this season and what we've wanted to see?It’s not as simple as that because it doesn’t mention the players Enic have failed to land for Conte - Bastoni, Skriniar and Gvardiol being very obvious ones.
People use the car analogy and running a Ferrari on Lemonade - but with Spurs it’s more like running a Ferrari with a tire missing - Enic always leave us fundamentally short each and every faaacking window.
Also, what's the guarantee any of these players would've worked out? And why is it they're the only ones that Conte would've been able to get a tune out of? Every player we don't get is always the one that got away, and then the ones we do bring in and don't work out are always another example of the board getting it hopelessly wrong.
