The difference is he has seen Gil play a few times last season but he has never played Spence so I don't know how he can tell that Spence is "not ready". Training is nothing like the real thing, he deserves at least a couple of games the trouble is we know Conte is a very stubborn guy and doesn't like to be told what to do and as Spence was not his choice he's unlikely to get any game time unless there are injuries to Emerson and Docherty. Even then he's more likely to move over Perisic or someone else rather than play Spence. I feel sorry for the boy as it can't do his confidence any good.Therefore he may be also right with Spence
