kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Good. Now we can start identifying new signings. Top possible players: Payet, kante, pjanic, coman, stones, Moutinho Okay possible players: nainggolan, ogbonna (Westham CB, worked with Conte in Juve) imbulla, pato? Hopefully he gambles on some youth players like Musonda, traore, Ake, just like he did with pogba. Blue-in-me-Veins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

different level 1,056 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I never really liked him, but tbf there wasn't any better choice among the available managers, especially after we couldn't get Simeone. Also he did a great job at Juventus and you can't deny his contribution in making them successful again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,417 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I like that he is tactically flexible using either 3-5-2 of a 4-3-3 .. something we have been crying out for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning nothing in two consecutive seasons is a massive underachievement for this club, don't think Roman would tolerate it. Conte is a winner, he will do everything in his power to make it happen, so we'll see, maybe this time he could get away with it, we'll find out soon enough! Roman won't be happy but lf Roman purely judges managers on whether a trophy is won or not, then Di Matteo would have at least got the full season after Munich. If Conte is showing genuine progression, I can't see any problems in terms of job security. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Last name: Conti http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Conti This famous surname recorded in the spellings of Comte, Conte and Conti, is of Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese origins. It derives from the Latin 'comptus' meaning 'order or control', and such in the Roman Empire it applied to officials of rank responsible for administering a small region. Later it was adopted as a major mark of nobility throughout much of Europe. Many holders of the surname do indeed have nobility in their blood, whilst others hold the title as a result of either being associated with title holders perhaps through being officials of the noble, or as a nickname for one who had noble aspirations, or possibly because ancestors played the role of a Count in the very popular medieval travelling theatres of the middle ages between the 10th and the 16th century in Europe. What is without argument is that name had such rank that one Italian family were the 'Princes de Conti', in France 'Le Comte de St. Jean' and in Langedoc the 'Conte de Tauriers'. Examples of the surname recording from church records include Juan Conti, who married Anna Maria Vicens, at La Bisbal, Santa Maria, Gerona on May 2nd 1750, whilst in the USA Corina Ida Conti, the daughter of Domenico Conti, was christened at Tomales, California on June 19th 1893. The coat of arms most associated with this distinguished surname is probably that of a red lion rampant regardant set on a gold field. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Lucretia Conti, which was dated December 12th 1577, christened at Messina, Italy, during the reign of Pope Gregory 111, reigned from 172 to 1585. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling. © Copyright: Name Origin Research www.surnamedb.com 1980 - 2016 EMK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm so happy. Welcome ! Board did amazing job on this one. I like the quote from Marina "We are very pleased to have recruited one of the most highly regarded managers in world football and we are equally pleased to do so before the end of the current season. This aids our future planning." I'm somehow confident now we get this right in the summer. The players we're linked with are some great players, I'm just optimistic it will be done correctly and fast. Great day overall.

If Conte is showing genuine progression, I can't see any problems in terms of job security. Di Matteo fucked up in the UCL in the second season, maybe the most important competition for big Rom. In my view that shows how quickly game over can become a reality for the Chelsea manager. The same applies for Avb and second place wasn't good enough for Ancelotti to keep his job. Mourinho got away with a trophyless season, but that's Mou. I think Rom is still ruthless, but these days you have to do it with less money, Chelsea job has become one of the most difficult around. Anyway, Conte seems to be up for it, he doesn't take shit from anyone, will be interesting to watch from distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc_blue 265 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Best of luck. Hopefully the groundwork has been laid for the summer and we can hit the ground running after he's finished with Italy this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most Chelsea fans it's pre-season now. You've been here long enough no-one cares re pre season . Fans like me are just disillusioned by the club, yay we've got a head coach, how long until the next one arrives? because nothing changes from top-down, yes men will continue too say yes.

We still are full on chelsea on FB or twitter. You cannot deny the recent inflow of people drove me, choulo, alex, Barbara, etc away. We are not plastics or mere members.
