I would rather spend on Gaya Grimaldo Junior Firpo...crazy how Ernesto has completely ostracized him from Barca team then can consider Chillwell... Jose Gaya at 100m euros is sooo not happening Firpo was my number one choice for ages, gutted when Barca snapped him up Grimaldo is not worth his 60m euro RC in my book, but we may be forced if we miss out in the overrated Chilwell (fuck paying £80m!!) and stupidly refuse to buy Telles and Gosens and refuse to sell the two scrubs we now have. That said, I can so see us with the same LB dregs next season plus the turgid Azpi there a tonne. I may have to stop posting here if that happens and we have not only missed out on CL but then go into the ditch with LB play at the fore of the shit. My temper will snap at that point.

Grimaldo for 60m is far better than Chillwell for 80m...he is quality going forward and possess that bit of grit that will make him a competent defender... Yeah am loving the look of Robin Gosens while am not completely sold out on Telles I see struggling to adapt to the physicality of premier league...But I would take all the above and Junior Firpo though won't happen above Chillwell...

We can do both Grimaldo and Gosens for around £20 to 30m net spend as long as we sell Alonso and swap or sell Emerson. I am utterly fine with that. Two entirely different types of LB, so all situs covered. Makes too much sense, so zero chance the board does it. They more than likely think Azpi at LB is just dandy, and they will refuse to sell Alonso to Conte and Emerson to Sarri because......... butthurt. Chilwell at £80m is a joke, so I fully expect they go for that. Hopefully Pep stays and Shitty grabs him. I wouldn't mind him on the team, but not for fucking 80m quid.

Gaya would not require €100m to get him. I reckon a serious €70m would get him. However, the thing that is annoying is that he should have been brought 3-4 years ago as it was clear he was a top tier talent. For me, our LB targets should be Gaya, Grimaldo or possibly Gosens. Telles for me should also be looked at as a LB option for now who if he does not excel can be shifted to LB2 as I am not sold on Emerson at all and whilst I am a big Alonso fan in a 343, I appriciate he struggles in a back 4.

The signings made by Juve, Chelsea and Inter during his leadership are 90% poor, there's far too much sample size for it to be a coincidence. Take Radja for example, he was apparently furious we didn't get him for him, yet when he finally got his hands on him he couldn't chuck him out quick enough.

Didn't he want Alex Sandro and ended up with Zappacosta? Radja was a different player when we were linked with him to the one Conte ended up with (not to mention personal problems as well). The guy smokes like a chimney & people expect it not to take a toll. None of the clubs he's been at have had the pulling power or funds do wrap things up, so these failures being 2nd/3rd choices can't solely lie with him. Can't think of a first choice target he signed during his spell here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Radja for example, he was apparently furious we didn't get him for him, yet when he finally got his hands on him he couldn't chuck him out quick enough. The thing with Conte is that he is a tactical genius. As a result, the signings that he wants may not be the best in regards to a club that churns managers but he wants them as they fit his profile. Ergo, signing him players that he doesn't want is going to quickly get his nose out of joint and they are unlikely to be able to fit his style. Therefore, it depends what you want as a club, a manager who can win you things doing things his way or a board that is in charge and replace managers every other season. Both methods can prove successful but it depends on what is your preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
