The three men would no doubt have noted that after a transfer window that brought six new players, with a seventh in Destiny Udogie joining next summer, Conte is only using half of them. Steinsson joined Spurs in July and Scoulding in August as part of Paratici's major overhaul of the club's football hierarchy and scouting network. Spurs' transfer trio of managing director of football Fabio Paratici, his performance director Gretar Steinsson and head of football strategy Andy Scoulding were all on the pitch ahead of kick-off, speaking to Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Ben Manga. Yes, more could have been done in the summer transfer window, but the problem is from the outside it looks like a manager who doesn't seem to be rotating his starting XI yet is asking for yet more players that he might not use. However, when it comes to his Tottenham squad, while he speaks about the size of squad, Conte's actions suggests he really means quality rather than quantity. Those who have followed Antonio Conte's career say there's always a point at every club when he makes it clear publicly that he requires a bigger squad than the one he is currently working with.
