nono 791 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 14 hours ago, Fulham Broadway said: The premier league starts in 2 days. We have 4 fit defenders, including making branna, cahill and JT guaranteed starters despite their flaws. Players like Matic, cuadrado,, etc all still at the club, whilst we hold on to Remy and send Traore to Holland. If it wasn't for Kante, this summer's business would be absolutely farcical. Again. It's sad. I think lack of transfers is one of the reasons Conte left Juventus as I think he felt they weren't doing enough to compete for the Champions League. We used to have a reputation for doing our business quickly but these past few windows have been abysmal. Kante really fell into our laps and is no achievement from the board. The club is always really slow to get rid of the deadwood (i.e. Matic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono 791 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 12 hours ago, Fernando said: Well it wouldn't make sense to sack Conte unless he loses the dressing room. That was basically the sole reason to sack Mourinho. Because it's clear that the board and club don't have the ambition of winning anything. And if they do they are delusional and no manager will be able to deliver with such ways of them running thing. All our hopes basically rest on Hazard having a season for the ages. Because our squad is clearly inferior to United and City's. We have a risk of slipping down into Tottenham/Arsenal level which is poor considering the resources we've spent.

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Well one of the good thing is that he has not tried to alienate players, and that's a good thing. We shall see how the players respond in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like last summer, Conte will have given the club a list of targets and our board just can't get anything done. They're penny pinching and looking for discounts. Also like last summer I feel well panic buy towards the deadline. Let's just hope we at least panic buy good players this time. xPetrCechx, bellion, Unionjack and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough mate, but to me it's either he joins us or not, whether he stays or joins other teams the consequence for us is the same, that is we miss a much needed quality defender.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I like Conte alot. He seems to have all the passion,fire,temperment as Mou but with a likeable character. I cant see vinegar tits invading his box to give him a love tap. But I can see him shredding one of our lads a new one when hes coming off from being sub'd! If we get the few transfers we need then I'm off to the bookies to have a few more quid on us. I'm still excited until I see different.
