What I was thinking too. Love it.

Thats what I like to see.

1/2 hour this will be good

I'm sitting here excited on edge of me chair

God I wish I'd been in The Shed in 60s/70s Nice seeing old vids waiting for Conte!

Just being devils advocate and feeling a bit upset. Was expecting/HOPING for more considering last year. Had visions of us building up and strengthening the squad. When I see our already strong opponents doing it and us dragging our arses again. I think Conte will be good but .........

And Bonnucci the one we want/need and who loves the guy isn't going nowhere neither.

These AM links aren't going away are they!

Well its suprized me a little that there isn't a long que of Italian players/team lined up outside The Bridge considering how much they think of him. I must admit I was expecting him to buy a few.

I quite like him and I'd much prefer him as a backup option instead of Mikel There was a photo came out at Euros before the links to Bat Sushi came out of Eden with Bat Sushi amd Witsel with Eden kida looking back at the lads with his thumb up. The links came out a couple days after so I thought they were just putting 2+2 together to get BS. BUT.... then he signed. So who knows.....Id be well vhuffed to get Kante or Nainggolain AND Witsel. I'm not greedy. It's my dream - let me dream it

I love the guy but he needs to be given time and space if we are going to use him properly (eg feeding or strikers and AMs). IF Kante/Nainggolain etc plus Matic from 2014 with cescy would make the center of the pitch ours. Then all we need are a couple of defenders!

So instead of coming back to pre season training and putting in some time and effort trying to impress Conte that hes Chelsea standard hes off at the soddin zoo in Tenerife. Its not like he needs a break after the Euros is it?

Thats just how hot blooded passionate people communicate. Hes probably just asking where the bog is.

Considering we must have had offers for him from teams in the CL I'm so happy hes still here. At one time I put him level par with Oscar but hes grown to be one of the 1st you would select anytime. I think him and Bat Sushi will get on good both hating Spuds.

Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has revealed Chelsea made a bid for the France midfielder last summer. He said: “Last year, when the bid came in, I really wanted him to go to Chelsea. “It didn't happen but this year we will see.”

Yeah not good. I think he communicates in fluent football. But cant see anyone telling him to vaffanculo!

Well from what ive seen of his time with Italy hes not one for being rigid with formations. It looks like he has that ability to change it to whats needed at the time.But the best thing is hes not scared of offence. I loved Mou but it struck me that he had drilled defennd 1st into our forwards so much that they were worried about going for goal. Id love us to have a 2 striker system or at least our AMs given the opportunity to do what theyre paid for. Whether its a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 they all sound good to me (depending on our squad of course!!)

I'm hoping to fuck this aint gonna be a Stones Part 2!!

I'd have him bring in Usain bolt chasing the lads round with a hot poker after last seasn the lazy gits. Can you imagine Cahil and Bane after a Conte training session. Being sick everywhere and pysios following them around ready to catch them.

Why wasn't he on our wants list? Its not like we don't need a couple of defenders.

We know Leicester wont just throw in the towel. But for players like him (and others linked with us) that we so desperatly need if we want to rebuild and be some sort of force again in England,Europe then we really do need to start paying for them. Hust imagine a 2014 Matic and Kante giving Cescy the time/space he needs. Me - Id get Nainggolain too! The middle of the park would be ours!

Lets face it we dont really know bugga all for fact. Only what some bloomin media click merchants tell us. Id love the lad to join us. We need him or someone of eqal quality (OR 2 like him) badly. What I'm praying to anyone around that will listen to me is Conte has already had chats with him and hes told him he doesnt start work till thurs so he will sort him out then! OK I might be clutching at straws but fuck guys we got 3 CMs in our sights. Radja,Kante & Witsel) All 3 of them are being wanted by most of Europe and seeing as we got no European carot to dangle like we normally do then we do really need to stick our hand in our pocket and cough up. We got some money from players gone and we got alot of players me personally would get rid of today. Theres times that we do need to be tough money wise with transfers but theres also certain times that we really need to play Billy Big Bollox.

Well if its true then its a great start to a rebuild IMHO. Onwards and upwards. We might not be top but we're still the chanpions!

I see a report saying Contes going for a 4-2-4 next season which might be interesting. But I did some searching and found this about when he used it before. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2011/10/23/antonio-contes-system-isnt-a-4-2-4-but-still-provides-excitement/

This is interesting tactics from him
