Not only that, the fad with Italian manager will be back in style.

Remember how this was the fad years ago?

Well to be fair in history Italy have produce a large bulk of top managers.

EVERYTHING goes in cycles. It surely cant only be the money that has attracted some of the worlds biggest managers to the PL this season. They must see some trend about to happen.

I wonder wher Allegri will be next season? I had a thought he might take over from vinegar tits in North London

Not to state the obvious but the contrast between Jose and Cote is just striking!

Conte's respect isn't overdue. He's had only 3 seasons managing a top team in a top league. Pep, Mourinho, & Wenger, all have 10+ years of proof that they can manage the top teams in top leagues. Conte hasn't been around long enough to 'finally' get credit, he hasn't even been balling in the same league as the others. Whenever the abstract respect comes it'll be right on time. This here is his first chance to earn his respect outside of Italy. There is nothing overdue. He still has it all to prove.

they don't have the best education system in Brazil, don't blame them

Excuse me? What an unnecessary comment. Ignorance doesn't know borders although I'm not calling them ignorants

Late july. So it seems we are entering another season with Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill and Terry. Great.

Really you both said he is no  b2b or cm, cause he was #10 for brazil, so the position suits him Best.  I always wanted to see  him in Lamps pos or alongside cm

Must be on drugs. I never said such a thing about Oscar, specially because I see no reason why a #10 couldn't play as a CM or a b2b. The only time I bashed you was when you were saying Kakuta would be a super player...

This is not the first time you come with this kind of thing. You should be really careful before posting that I said things that I have not.

Tbf I always thought we were known in the rest of the world to consistently produce top managers. I mean, we do know what real football is about  
I always thought that an average Italian manager will always have a tactical advantage over a (insert other random country) average manager. The exceptions are few.

What I like about Contes interview was his insisting that Cescys red doesn't stop them from going in hard.

The Italian wants viewers to turn on the TV and recognise his team from their style and identity without noticing the individual players, the colour of the kit or the badge on their chests.

'I like my team to play with great aggression and high intensity,' said Conte. 'I like to see that.

'We train to prepare for that because I want that my team has an identity.

'I want that if you see Chelsea you recognize: Oh, Chelsea are playing. That is important for me, it is important for the club and the owner; everyone.'

At Juventus he was able to blend this with success, winning the Serie A title three times in three years, playing an aggressive and intense brand of football.

'This is my football and everywhere I have been I have been I have worked at that,' said Conte. 'I always gave an identity to my teams.

'I am searching to transfer this to my players and I am pleased because I see a great attitude.

'I want to continue in this way because this is the only way to come back very soon for the title. Not to speak, but actions. Now is not the moment to talk.'

No seriously. That kongohasnoflash and  rmpr said he must be #10 you said #10 or winger cause thats his natural pos he played before. No we disagree more often for example when i said mikel was a great asset to the Team but too lazy smtms, on mou coming back,  etc... But thats normal i smtms think you r controversial but more often then not have valubale Input. Have only my mobile cause switching my internetprovider ATM Else i would search a bit the topics

I already searched, and can confirm you are not telling the truth. Oscar was never a typical #10, so I don't know what you mean. Stop writing that I said things I never did, if you don't have the proof. Now you are even writing that I just said Oscar should play was a winger, and thats even more hilarious.

We both r here a long time and the forum Engine was switched a few Times i cant find Our direct conversations  but Look at first page of Oscar topic After he was Signed someone quoted you albeit not a forum quote saying winger is his natural pos Me and others have been on the other sie after a while the time we knew more Abt him

Then you said he  is better as mata in 2012 when mata was on fire and he was on the wings back then dropping into #10 now and then

 

 

Then before you said Oscar is going to be Our Main Player very soon

You compared him to two wingers

After benitez you thought Oscar was overrated 

Then he is Our Best Player and you predicted it

Then you Switched to the idea of him being natural #10

 

Like i said you r controversial but i value your Input. Problem for me now is your posts dont quote all ppl your answering to, but i Do it the same way. And i always during that convos was on the other sie so I received the bashing too :-) ;-)

Why does Ivanovic look like he’s about to drive an Aston Martin into a bad guy’s house, 007 style?

Also, lol at Courtois and Pedro

[Special Juan 27,424]

Pedro behind Remy and Remy looks to be liking it.
