Just think about it, before you criticize our board.
Our main CB targets according to rumours are Koulibaly and Rüdiger :
- They both play in Serie A
- Their style match Conte's philosophy
- They are strong, tall, fast and like to drive forward with the ball
So they are more than obviously players that Conte wants. He likes them, he thinks they are the best players for his system and that's it. He is the coach and he will be responsible for Chelsea results in next season. Maybe Rudiger or Koulibaly aren't better overall defenders than Marquinhos or someone else but they have qualities that Conte appreciate.
Example: Ibrahimovic is probably better striker than Vardy but he would be lost in Leicester this year and Leicester would be a far worse team with him.
I am more than happy with all the rumours because all the players (Naingollan, Koulibaly, Rudiger, Asamoah) are perfectly suited for his system. You were all bit*hing when we've bought players just because board wanted them and not the coach himself.
Let's put some positive energy in this transfer window! CMON CHELSEA !
