Antonio Conte has claimed Chelsea’s critics are right not to rate them among the favourites to win this season’s Premier League title and again suggested that his squad is not equipped to compete with Manchester City and United.

He sounds exactly like Mourinho in his last season here. 

Thinking about it he also sounds like Carlo Ancelotti in his title defending season when Drogba and Lampard were out for most of it and the board was unwilling to sign reinforcements he said the legendary sentence "I äm äppy wize skuadä"

A lof of promising players, a lot of work to do ahead of us. Maybe some of you see this season as 2015/16, but I don't. I see it as 2013/14, first Mou season. Season of integrating, working on our squad and season of chances for a various of players.

How about it being just the 2017/18 season in its own way? Why the need to classify seasons like that in the first place?

This has gotten a bit ridiculous. If one has a clear idea of what will happen during the course of 9-10 months then there's not point in watching.

Another one of those second Seasons.

Plus and minuses of a dictator I'm afraid..... Conte will have had enough by Christmas and it all starts again. 

The revolving door is starting to spin.....

Surely he's not hinting we won't be signing any players?

That's exactly how I interpreted it when I saw that earlier haha!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He's not going to last the season, is he? I could see him walking, to be honest. The fact he signed a new deal without committing any further time to the club, suggests both parties want to keep their options open. Obviously Conte is not the yes-man who answers to Emenalo that the board want. Anyone up for Hiddink Round 3?

Thing is who would take the risk and want to replace him? Be such a under pressure job with little players to work with and seeing the fact your unlikey to get the players you need to strengthen.

So much potential and yet again...off he'll go...

If you're a young manager, you would take the risk at Chelsea.  Worst thing that could happen is you'll be sacked in a few months and a nice payout (e.g. Villas-Boas).

Ruud Gullit

Some journo's are blaming Conte these smug fuckers haven't a clue. Oliver Holt is an off the scale prick who looks like a shit version of Noel Gallagher.

Drinkwater must be one of them. We have monitoring him since then.

I'm joking, lol. Bonucci, James Rodriguez, Sandro, Danilo. Rudiger signed, because we failed with Bonucci. But he turned out to be an excellent signing it seems.

Too early to know... he was average yesterday.
