The Conte Thread

[DDA 9,929]

People are only saying what they are saying about Conte because of what Pep is doing at City right now. 

Soo quick to forget this guy won us the title in his first season ffs and we are currently sitting 3rd behind two clubs who were strengthened tenfold in the summer. I'd say he is doing pretty fucking well. Especially with the donkeys at his disposal.

If only this man received as much faith from Chelsea board, as Pep from m city's one, I believe the club would have been in better position in the table now and a lot of people who doesn't know what exactly to say, but still come here and criticize him, would have stayed quiet.

Unfortunately, I don't believe this guy will stay for much longer if the board doesn't change it's work and try harder to bring in his targets. They can change that a bit, if they manage to bring at least new world class LWB in the winter, we are in desperate need of one and if they don't do it, I can't see Alonso playing on high level in March when we have CL and big games in PL.

Another reason don't want him to leave, is that I don't see anyone who can succeed him and make us better, we need someone like Ferguson to make miracles every year and win titles with players like Cahil, Alonso, Moses etc.

He wanted Candreva, wanted Bonucci instead of Christiansen. I am behind the board dude always makes average signings even from his time from Juve. Pep is signing youngsters with a long term view Conte does not believe in youth.

How do you know Conte wanted Bonucci over Christensen? How do you know he didn't want Christensen to begin with? What if Rudiger was the second choice option after Bonucci?

Exactly. In ideal scenario, Conte wanted Bonucci and Christensen as a back up. Why would anyone want to add 20-yo in our unstable defense? He wanted Bonucci, and rightly so. Christensen turned out to be all right, but Bonucci is still top top class defender and our defense would be on another level with him.

Conte never would've brought the likes of Rudiger, Baka, Drinkwater to Juventus. I hope that much is clear.

CFC wanted Rudiger from 2013/2014. CFC wanted another English player. Baka move was the Baka move.

Personally, i don't at all consider any of these to be the manager's signings. I only consider Zappa to be one. and Morara when eventually we had no other options.

Hope he goes soon. False 9 against Huddersfield??

Well he did mention in the presser about his targets having to be approved by the club first. The jury is still out on some of Conte's supposed targets and taste in players. My thought is Conte wants players who are either highly unattainable or average.

I hope Conte stays beyond the end of the season. However, I cannot see it lasting. If this turns out to be the case, my two choice, in order, would be 1) Ancelotti, and 2) Allegri. What do you guys think?

Said this before, if we get Ancelotti again, we can forget about winning the league and prepare for lots of inconsistency.

Which reported major targets of Conte were "highly unattainable"?

Bonucci. Sandro. Nainggolan. Koulibaly. Two of those targets were never going to leave Italy, and Juventus and Napoli were being hardheaded about selling the other two at the time. When I say unattainable, I am also including the selling clubs refusal to sell. You could probably add Lukaku to that list as he, by all accounts, wanted to join his mate Pogba at Utd.
