The Conte Thread

[Polo7 3,496]

Cant believe he is being made to beg every fucking press conference for more players. It should not be taking this fucking long.

Conte probably got scammed by our board to sign that new contract with fake promises. We only delivered with Morata because we absolutely needed a striker. 

From what I understand, he didn't extend his contract only got a raise in salary so either way, Conte wins

Ironic of him to say the squad is small when he opted not to keep some of the younger players.

Maybe they wanted to leave, to play every week.

Yeah let him depend on young players who have never played meaningful football in their careers to defend the premier league title and fight for the CL. Our board is failing this man. This is about our board not Conte failing to keep younger players.

Tammy is better off at Swansea, Aina needed first team football & Loftus-Cheek could polish his skills at Palace.

Ake was sold because he wanted to be first option and Chalobah was fed up of waiting for first team opportunities. 

At least he seems to be keeping Christensen, Musonda and Boga as backups this season...

Our CL rivals are signing Neymar, Barcelona about to replace him with Ousmane Dembele and Real will add Mbappe. We want Danny Drinkwater. What the actual fuck is going on?!

Don't worry we had even worse transfer window last season and we won PL, this time we will win CL. Yes i'm deluded.

If we sign top quality players, they wouldn't want to play every week too?

You have a point there but Conte can't complain about squad depth if he's the one unable to guarantee some of those players adequate playing time.

In any case, yes, Abraham, Aina and RLC need game time and are rightly sent out on loan. But for Ake and Chalobah, should we have done better to persuade them to stay? I guess in Ake's case, it's difficult since it's either him or Christensen. But Chalobah? Matic is gone and we have more games to play this coming season, surely there's a big role for him to play?

Get the feeling that Musonda and Boga are kept as backups because we are prioritizing other areas and aren't going to buy attacking players upfront.

Chalobah's case is very interesting as the player himself and his agent came out and said that they moved to Watford to avoid another loan spell..

Surely that means one of 2 things.   Either  1) Conte didn't rate Chalobah as a backup DM  or   2) Chalobah wasn't convinced by the amount of playing time he would get, even with the Matic sale and he chose to leave in order to potentially put his hand up for a spot in future England squads.

Or perhaps Conte isn't really keen on using youth players. The comment from him about young players aren't patient enough is just weird to say the least.
