Never seen the guy play. How is he?

(don't you dare send me any highlight video on youtube)

He looks amazing trust me, let me show you some research I did



3 minutes of that (sped up on 1.5 of course) and I knew we had a talent on our hands. He's the real deal, your video don't get that many views without you being a baller and lets not forget to use that word bomba that people keep saying because a few people on twitter said it.

That bit of defending when he was in the RB position, stepped out to the edge of the box and intercepted the pass and then dribbled past the half way line and got a foul was real top class defending.

He really does look the business. Surprisingly I was more impressed with his defending in that video than his attacking.

Agreed. Martinelli is a very high level talent when it comes to beating full backs and he really struggled with Spence. Showed Walker like Athleticism to shut him down like he did. That's impressive.

Such an exciting signing this one. Has all the tools to become one of the best in his position for many years if he has the desire and work ethic to do so. With Conte as manager he'll have a great chance.

It came from a different twitter user - Don_Falcone200

Who appears to be the one who took the photo on his phone.
He didn't take the photo judging by his responses elsewhere. He got it from someone, most likely with Djed's agency. It's a small agency and Djed is by far their biggest client so they probably snapped it and sent it to some mates on Whatsapp to brag/celebrate and one of them got on the blower to other Whatsapp groups bragging about the photo they got.

Hopefully this will be the start of our new Walker/Rose era with him and Sess.

And we get to see the England squad being littered with our players again.

Really happy this one is happening. Makes a lot of sense given the need for HG. He has all the physical attributes to be successful. Looks very skillful dribbling as well. Will have to see how his delivery is from wide areas.

But I see Doherty as first choice in the near-term, so Spence will have time to develop that side of the game and learn what Conte wants from him.

According to this article, Spence’s mother is a Spurs fan.


Also, talking about his experience playing at our stadium in a F.A. Cup game with Middlesbrough.
“It was a humbling experience in a great stadium. It felt like playing in the Champions League when I walked out and the lights were flashing. Knowing my family was there watching me, my mum, my dad and my uncle to watch it and being there.
“Some of these players are Champions League finalists so it was a great experience playing against some great players and especially against Ryan [Sessegnon] who I played with at Fulham.”
