He's here, so might as well support him. I'ts like receiving a pair of socks for christmas.

Conte is a good tactician, he isn't afraid of trying new things, at Juventus he tried many formations (4-2-4/3-3-4/4-3-3) and then he settled for the 3-5-2 with Pirlo covered by Vidal and Marchisio, that's his trademark formation, recently, he said himself that this formation is already past it and in the last few matches Italy played a 4-4-2 (4-2-4 while attacking) When the team plays you can see his work at first glance, and that's something i like about him, he went in his first season at Juve 2011/12 he won the league unbeaten, although the league quality isn't that good and he did with the best team around, financial power and personnel wise, so his work has to be put in perspective here. We won the Euro qualifying unbeaten as well, although the performances were in many cases shaky (but that's something you have to live with this national team) Also this is worth a glance http://www.espnfc.com/italy/story/2078829/antonio-conte-is-in-the-same-mould-as-jose-mourinho-says-gabriele-oriali Overall i think he's a good coach, he can do both defending and attacking quite well and he isn't afraid to show balls when is needed, but i still think he has to prove himself at the top top level of football, coming to england would be such a test for him. He's a bit of a jerk though at least going by his press conferences, oh, and his hair is fake. Important thing is, back the new manager with funds, no one could work and get consistent results with this team.

I would still take it with a pinch of salt though, at least until more sources say it's done

In Italy they're giving it as already done for some reason on the second most important channel on tv.

I couldn't even care less that i'm the only member you truly dislike in 5 years certainly i'm not going to hang it on the wall of my cramped, candle-lit, pentagonal room in my basement, i keep that for the truly devilish accomplishments of mine, not some dude i don't even know personally, but i've had the privilege of knowing only through an internet forum about a football club, someone, much like you about me, don't know anything about. I have no problems with the belgian users on this board, i've had in the past some pleasant conversations with some of them, and i enjoy reading posts from others, i've had my disagreements with others on a number of things, but that has hardly anything to do with someone's nationality, has it? Actually i don't know what's up with this board and this belgian complex of some, it's silly and should be put to bed for good. What i find annoying is, that in this love-hate relationship of ours, you are the abusive one, even though i've never cheated resorted to personal insults towards you. Now, as FB so eloquently explained it to you, turn down the crap.

Ok, then i must scratch my head as to why, now and then you keep quoting me with personal attacks while i've never even insulted you must've some problems interacting with people in a civilized and polite manner, but that is none of my business as long as you keep me out of it, something that you seem unable to do. Now for the grown up stuff. I think it's quite normal to have some duds between the good ones, that is human, i don't even think we've done some bad business until this summer, Luis, Fabregas, Costa, Cuadrado (No one could've foreseen how it turned out) were all good acquisitions. However in the last two transfer windows (summer and this current one) it's been horrendous, the team sorely needs some reinforcements in defence and midfield, but we seem to be doing nothing at all about that, which is quite worrying, last summer the club had a chance to step up and start chasing down some of the bigger clubs, but we blew it. That, for me, is a sign that someone is sleeping higher up the hierarchy and something needs to change. I still think much like the Mourinho thing, calling out individuals is quite silly, as i think everyone made a little mistake, that eventually led up to the big puddle of poo we're in nowadays, however having an individual that seems to have no background for the kind of role he has at this club isn't going to help, and such a situation should, in most cases than not, be dealt with as soon as possible. I don't agree with the petition per se, i think it's quite silly to be honest, i agree, however, with the sentiment, hire someone qualified for the job and competent people in each and every position at this club (i am sure Emenalo is not the only one being out of his depth), the end product it's going to be quite good if this step is done properly.

no real reason to get personal bro keep it classy as you have proved numerous times now.

comedy gold this.

This post gave me several terminal illnesses

Tbf i think more than just one head has to roll, so it's not only him, but probably he's the first that should go. The Emenalo cultists in here are unbelievable

I would appreciate such a move

http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2016/1/29/10864534/antonio-conte-chelsea-manager-rumors After the shit managers that are being named recently, i'm warming up to the idea of Conte here.

or bid for Laporte/Marquinhos. Already better than Stones and cheaper, only negative is the hg quota.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_question

Terry is already doing a few mistakes that normally he wouldn't do, might last more than 1-2 years but he would be less and less involved, you get the gist i'm sure. Laporte/Marquinhos examples were more an indicator of quality of cb we need/personal wish, as i think they're both better than Stones, but obviously we want Stones for that quota, doesn't change the fact that keeping Cahill would only hurt the team quality and depth.

Zouma should start, i agree. Terry shouldn't, fourth cb is his future role, Cahill should be offloaded for Stones/Marquinhos/Laporte, Ivanovic should be an rb backup, Christensen has another season on loan in germany, Hector is obviously not good enough he's just for our legalized slave trade loan system, same goes for Omeruo, Dildo is apparently now lost in the ever growing depth of the loan system. That leaves us with: Azpi/Ivan Zouma/? ?/Terry ?/Baba/(Aké?) We need, first team quality cb and another one on the level of Zouma, that would be ideal in my opinion. I hear you about Christensen but the need for 2 cb is immediate and in 1 or 2 years Terry will retire and leave another spot empty.

And apart from you and a few others now this thread is like a graveyard

Darn crazy female hormones each month.

40m bid? That's insane.

Linked with Roma today, we don't want to sell.

I would fuck off to siberia for that kind of money.

someone's a bit emotional, for lack of a better word.

now i wish i could see his signature, but i'm too lazy to change my settings
