He'll be a rarely used bench player, Conte will use him for 5-10 minutes every blue moon, just like Gil which won't be enough time to impress or influence anything and he'll be back at his parent club after the loan expires.

Getting serious Gedson vibes

Not even a position we even needed anybody, we need Centre Backs and wing backs, not a fucking squad winger.
u look at this and think why fuck did we get rid of berg

recruitment is shocking
 
Agree with all of this.

Liverpool were all over this guy a year ago and for north of 50m.

On a straight loan until we know what's happening with Conte it makes a lot of sense.


Conte says he needs a player that can go past a player, there you go.

It's painfully obvious who has and hasn't seen him and have made their mind up on him based on Everton links.

Not remembering that we signed Bentancur after he was close to signing for Aston fucking Villa.

His final season at Bournemouth he got 15 goals and was in the Championship team of the season at 22 - so he certainly wasnt shit there
He got 6 goals in the champions league with Villareal during their recent run in it. Including against Juventus, Bayern and Atalanta.

12 goals in 33 games for Villareal.
 
Bentancur was playing, and starting mostly, for one of the best clubs in the world and is a started for one of the best national teams in the world. The man has played in Champions League finals.

Almost incomparable.

How is it incomparable?

Bentancur was an out of favour central midfielder who "one of the best clubs in the world" couldn't wait to get rid of for 15m and were about to sell him to relegating battling Aston Villa...

And then signed for Spurs and turned into one of the best performing Central midfielders.

where does a winger fit into Conte's system? We have Gil sitting on the bench who already can't get a game because he doesn't fit Conte's system.

There are so many positions we needed to fill before this, we have players in our first team that need replacing and we are bringing in wingers? Makes zero sense.

We need a replacement for Lloris, a replacement for Dier, a replacement for Davies. Replacements for all 4 of our wing backs before worrying about a winger.

This is just a typical Levy signing to appease the fans
