I have no idea why Zouma's passing is so defended by some people - he is awful at ball, clumsy, his first touch is terrible. There is no way he will be first team player now for Conte's tactics.
Tough choice for Conte, his squad selection and formation started to click and Im not sure he wants to disrupt the flow. However Terry, Michy and Chalobah seems like a safe bet, dunno about the rest.
Ivanovic is very bad at defending not only last season, Cahill is medicore with awful moments, Terry is slow and overrated (right now), Zouma is coming out of very serious injury. Miazga, Clarke-Salter, Omori are all very young and unexperienced. Not buying a CB would be total disaster.
Yeah, they should definietely clean up the trash, c'mon Benteke, Origi, Ings (anyone remembers him?), Sturridge, Firmino, Coutinho, Lallana, Milner, Ibe now Mane.. Hell I thinko Markovic and Balotelli (!!!) are still Liverpool players.
What people are afraid is that almost every top club already made at least one move, some more are close to being finalized (Krychowiak to PSG, Mane to Pool, Ibra to Man Utd), and we are not even close to sign anyone (at least that is 'public knowlegde').
