More links with him coming out today then. Lad SEEMS to me to be better at going forward. But hes got tons of energy with a great left footed cross. And was supposedly the best LB in the Bundesliga last season Also might be a threat to Edens penalty taking. Compred to Leighton Baines

Thats a proper hug too. All personal space invaded. Whats good too is Conte loves his attitude so if he can just channel it to his football and winding up trhe opposition he would be ideal! Maybe time i should update the defenders

Everyone slagged off Begovic before he got here too. I know I'd rather have someone more relevant and we coud totally trust him IF we needed him but with only the PL games just how much will he play apart from early League and FA cup games. Maybe look again next year when we hit Europe.

Might be a relative of Diego?

Me, I really like Chalobah. This is probably why they're being cunty. They wanted to keep him I just hope they get Maksimovic now that Torino got Rossettini. Fuck our season/future, relys on this to a large point.

4-3-3 Eden-Costa-Cuadrado Chalobah-Cescy-N'Golo Ola-JT-Cahil-Dave 4-4-2 Costa-Bats Eden-Chalobah-N-Golo-Cuadrado Ola-JT-Cahil-Dave I really think we should use Square instead of Willian. Hes far more offence minded and loves hoing 1 on 1 with defenders running straght at them. Also need to get Chalobah playing. great B to B and fit as a butchers dog. Good defending and going forwards.

I love Cescys creativity but alot of us are forgetting we got an excellent option to him OR Osacar/Matic in Chalobah. He runs all over, got good offence/defence and a real B2B player. Plus he's HG. I know hes satill only 21 but hes got alot of great loan expereience Forest,Middlesbrough,Burnley,Reading.Napoli. We stick Chalobah/Matic/N'Golo together and cant see a problem.

You can bet yer sweet bippy that conversation has already been n gone with Roman. He wants more than anything to get that bit of silver again and I bet its something Conte would kill for. It wouldnt take us much IMHO to be in a position where we could go up against anyone and have a good chance but its getting those few players we desperately need. I dont think Roman would turn round and say Oh fuck that we dont need to replace such n such. Hes got to trust Conte to deliver and I think he does. But my glass is always half full. I'll have a Guinness ta!

As per usual no 2 people can agree on a single polayer we have or even linked to. We wouldn't agree if the player was to come on a freebie and no wages! We are dearly lacking creativity. Matic nor Oscar give us anything in offence. And IF Cescy is off then we are going to be fucked. Chalobah offers us more going forwards than both and is a good tackler. Stick him n N'Golo in front of Cescy and sorted. Rodriguez does offer creativity and seems to offer us more than 95% of our AMs going foraward. The only thing hes poor at is defending. So if it was a choice between him n Lukaku right now I'd still go for Lukaku. How about TRYING a part ex for Varane with Cescy?

You are probably right about the Jose bit and I couldn't think that Conte and his team havent hadd numerous sit downs with the youth management and the transfer/scouting teams. And I do hope they've managed to get into our lads with true potential heads to tell therm theyre needed. When some of these kids have been with us since they were 8 all they've ever dreamed of is a 1st team place here. And I truly hope that there is a couple of youth used this season. Preaseason I think he must have got a rough idea of the craic. But as our 2 youngest starters against Wet Spam was Dave and Oscar we shall see. I dont think it should be done for the sake of it only if the kid is the best boption to play at that moment.

Maybe mate. But I'd still love to give it a bash.

But we are talking about 1 big shit load of players and the amount tat are out on loan might just make the board think they aren't in our present interests. This isn't a player like Cuadrado that gets headlines made and who was playing in his native country. But I dont understand how some peeps thought processes work and gave up trying long ago. I know that if I was our manager with the problems I had with my defence not having a clean sheet at home since the previos November and a CB like him in our ranks then I'd happily pay some fine to cut the loan short.

Thats what I was thinking. So its doubtful that Conte is even aware of him to want to bring him home.

Do we know IF Conte even saw him pre season? He needs to be told for sure that he is a future part of the club and get him on some golden handcuffs.

One hellova record to be proud about!

Wasn't that SUPPOSEDLY the reason we got shot of our last one?

Lets hope he proves some peeps wrong.

Can you imagine the destruction we would do with Diego and Lukaku together and a back spine of N'Golo-K2-Happy! Now I'd put us up against any team in Europe wuth that! Hang on. I'm just counting my chickens!

With him in the stands last night I should think he went away happy with Eden at least. Shame he didn't see more of Bats but no doubt IF Lukaku comes he will want a season ticket and be wanting to make friends with Conte when he needs favors!

From everything I've read about him and all the Youtubes Ive seen with the comments etc this lad seems to have a good rep all apart from 1 game in the Euros when 1;2 the German fans said he went forward too much but the other half loved him FOR going forward!! So whatever player we ever get linked with whether it be Martin Olsson or Alaba half the people will hate them and the other half will be jumping up n down shouting YES! So whoever we get we wont know what theyre like or if they will fit in till we try them out. Its always a gamble.

This would be a real shame and unless we get Rodriguez I see no sense in it whatsoever Cuadrado returning to Juventus? http://www.football-italia.net/89874/cuadrado-returning-juventus Cuadrado needs starting over Willian IMHO

I like having the old feisty Costa back but hes going to be getting some bookings with this new ref rule. And I think as soon as we get our defence sorted we should use 2 up front. We get Lukaku (specially for the fee we will be paying IF we get him) then the pressure will be on to make him 1st strinker. We team those 2 together and have a Eden-Chalobah-Cescy-N'Golo-Cuadrado midfield we would run riot over anyone. Well its how I'd like to see us trying.

Sorry but I did'nt get enough out of him to not want to try Chalobah instead. Preferably with N'Golo with Cescy behind in a 4-3-3

I think hats important too is picking CONTE'S 1st choice cause as we know if a manager comes in with a transfer that the board picked then it wont make alot of diff how good he is cause he will select someone else over him. We really have had a manager like that. I'm hoping this isn't the situation with Bats! But dont think Conte's ego is that big.

And putting Pedro on with just 10 mins to go instead of putting Cuadrado on the bench then sticking him on and taking Wilian off at half time! Willian hasn't been himself all pre season IMHO whereas Cuadrado is full of confidence and is better in attack. Same same with Moses. Didn't understand that unless Eden was gasping. But Moses will be goodor us this season. Id lie to see us with a Moses-Costa-Bats-Cuadradu at some stage (unless of course Lukaku comes)
