Emenalo signing is the keeper. Gordon I am absolutely sure is not Conte's choice. I think Sirigu would be his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tautvix 1,321 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Conte said he wants a few players in this transfer window, didn't he? Same thing happened in Summer. Good thing is that we are winning games at the moment so everyone is happy. But if we are not winning games and club doesn't buy players Conte wants, it will make a lot of problems between Conte and the board. jernej93, Despiadado.Maleante, manpe and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep up with the same shenanigans in the summer he should just walk up and leave like he did at Juventus. He is too good of a manager to be dealing with this crap board.

Pizy 18,907 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Think it's pretty clear that Conte wanted a player or two this window but the club have probably told him to wait until the summer for his primary targets. Hence why Aké is back. Begovic and Iva will be gone tomorrow, probably. Highly doubt we'll sign anyone other than another backup keeper to replace Bego. We still have that risk where a significant injury to quite a few of our players can potentially be huge. If any of Costa, Hazard, Luiz, Moses, or Kante pick up a big knock the team will really struggle to replace their quality. We've seen that Conte can adapt without someone for a match or two but fingers crossed none of the above get a serious injury. the wes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if we beat both Liverpool and Arsenal its title race over so none of it may matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe we'll be actually weaker going out of the window than before it. If Ivanović goes then we just let Pedro to be cover for Moses? Lol. I wonder how significant in this window is our league position. It should have no bearing yet it feels whole plan is around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have no bearing yet it feels whole plan is around it.Guy only played a handful of games in the Portuguese league and somehow warrants that fee. Clubs should wait and see how players progress.We know it's the board doing what they do best around now. Normally spot on with getting good fees for players, but always questionable when it comes to incoming. I expect Aina will be back up should Iva leave.I do agree it's worrying and could backfire if something isn't done in the next 30 hrs. Having said that, win our two next games, and we will be very comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a busy summer of transfers from Chelsea we made over £60m in January transfer window which we can use that money for the summer and we cut the wage bill down as well by letting Mikel and Ivanovic go I want us to challenge for the CL next season I would bring in two big signings Vidal and Sanchez would be great signings to challenge for the CL next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Despite not signing anyone ourselves, it's rare that none of our rivals strengthen. I wonder if other top 6 supporters are as miffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that is assuming there are no significant departures which, in respect of Diego & Thibaut, might be big assumptions. Six or seven new players in a single window is not a realistic expectation. That's why I hoped we'd make one or two captures in this window and eat into the problem a little bit. As it is, we have big needs and will face many more clubs, with more money than ever to compete for the players we want, or to fend off our interest in theirs. We are going to have to be patient and make ourselves as competitive as we can while building our strength over the course of a few transfer windows. Blue Colored Sky and Peace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
