We have spent loads.....on shite. Totally different if your spending stacks on actually quality elite players, but we aren't.

And if Conte goes we'll have another huge headache to deal with if the next manager doesn't fancy the likes of Drinkwater, Baka, Zappacosta etc. But since we spent big money on them the club will force the new man to "work with what you have" and then we're right back to having a frustrated manager.

Rinse and repeat.

Wait, did you say just Matic is a WORLD CLASS? I get what you're trying to say but c'mon now. That's just silly.

Okay, not world class but at his very specific job there are few better. Been one of their best players this season.

I agree with him on transfers. It was bad summer, and we paying the price for that disaster now. But it's getting annoying, especially when you talk about it after a game against Arsenal - the team, that lose every good player, every time they have one. You can't blame everything on board. He needs to get over it, or it will end bad. Just stop feed media.

You can't blame him. How can you be a top manager at a top club when the club won't back your judgement in the transfer market, and instead identify their own targets and force you to work with them? He'll be gone, and Ancelotti will come back as Roman's yes-man, win us a PL title but fail to do anything in Europe, and then Hiddink will come back for round 3.

It's like me sending one of you to Adsa for shopping with a carrier bag full of holes in it.

Top players cost around 100 or more in todays market. There are exceptions but you will mostly get average players for less than 50. I doubt that our academy players are far worse than Zappa, Bakayoko or Drinkwater. Conte has to give more chance to our youngsters if he wants players like Sandro.

Yeah it's been horrendous the squad management these last years, At the end of Benitez, I thought we had quite a good squad with just 3-4 players to add.

Bye bye conte 

he must learn to respect our board. 

We lost yesterday because of him. 

He brings rudiger , he sold Diego costa . 

The players we signed were conte’s choices. 

 

Bye bye conte 

[Special Juan 27,424]

Respect HAS to go both ways, in any walk of life.

If you see a coach to have caroll as potential transfer target something going wrong.

Would happily put money on him walking/getting sacked by the end of the season.

[Pizy 18,368]

What I hope happens in an ideal world: We finish in the top 4, Hazard & Courtois extend their contracts, Conte stays and is given at least a couple of his first choice signings this summer.

What will probably happen: We may scrape into the top 4, Conte's relationship deteriorates further with the club and he walks, we appoint a manager that will be very devisive, Hazard & Tibo go, and we start the whole rebuilding process again.

Rudiger , Zappa,morata ,naigolan,Sandro. 

Alonso,Palmieri,dzeko

Seeing his comments lately, he will leave. Seeing how we didn't sign any decent wing backs and a midfielder with all-around qualities in Vidal mould.

The problem is players like Zappa, Alonso, Dzeko and a few more even if they are Conte's... they are like 3rd 4th 5th choices... We got them only because we didn't get our main targets.

But in all honesty Conte can't blame it all on board yesterday... We cannot compete with Man Utd and Man City but Arsenal is a different thing.
