Agree but having watched a lot of Championship football, I would say Spence is seriously good and within the first couple of months if not sooner will be first choice - he isn’t coming here to be rotation/cover….

If the talk that Conte has him as his no.1 target for RWB is correct then you'd have to assume that he's being signed with a view to making that position his in the long run

Les Ferdinand
Well the fact that Forest are desperate to sign him suggests that he has not caused any problems for the current manager.

I assume we will be able to get the same for Royal.
Potentially a very good signing if it happens, helps with the HG numbers.
Doherty deserves another season so having these two would be the RWB position sorted

He did look good, I agree, but to me it is still not more than 1 good month in 2 seasons

Look at our record with him playing right wing back with the first team
It’s exceptionally good
It’s why people have to get the positioning bit right with him
Right back.. not great
Right wing back I think we have lost only 2 games

We've gone in with a £20m offer apparently.

Suffice to say I would prefer to keep Doherty, sign Spence and sell Emerson

He did not get on with Warnock, but performed so well under Cooper that they want to sign him permanently

If the kid's sorted out his head (and a solid season after being told to buck up indicates that he might have), he could be a very good buy.
What other CL team has such a glaring hole for a 1st choice RWB? If we go in with a serious bid, I can't see any of the other teams mentioned having a chance.
That'd give us Perisic and Sessegnon on the left with Doherty and Spence on the right - experience on both flanks with home grown youth in the wings (literally) waiting to take over.
Hopefully Reguilon and Royal will get good moves - they've done all that could be asked of them, despite not being natural WBs.

Would show quite a bit of trust and faith both in Doherty and Spencer if that happens. Doherty to keep performing as he has done and Spencer to come in and become an option for fairly big games rather quickly.
I really like that if Conte genuinely think they're both good enough.
If, big if of course, we end up with those two for RWB and Sessegnon + Perisic at LWB we can potentially sell Reguilon, "fix" both wing back positions turning a profit in the process. That would be rather outstanding. But still, ifs and potentially...

Perhaps it's the eternal optimist in me but Sess and Djed gives me potential Rose and Walker vibes...

Makes sense all round
If he's going for around 20mil it seems a no brainer and also makes me think we should be looking to bolster the squad positions with other young home grown players from the Championship - even if he turns out to be average you have to think we'd at least make our money back on him selling to a lower PL side

I'm going with Dried Spice. But that's a dyslexic thing
Agree that Doherty was looking good, however we have an elite manager now who wants to compete for the title. Doherty would have been good enough for where Spurs have aimed over the last however many years, however the bar is higher now. I'd be surprised if he thought that Doherty and Spence was good enough given how critical WBs are in his formation
Good analysis of the player. Some nice strengths but has a lot of work to do on his defensive side of the game and passing.
