Now what wil Hazard put on his post-game hamburgers? 

[Fernando 6,453]

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.

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).

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.

Conte: "The expectations for all teams are very high, also for #Chelsea - especially after a bad season like last year. We’re working hard."

Conte: "We know this season will be very tough for every team."

Conte: "It’s important not to forget about last season because it will give us more strength. But also, we must look to the present."

Conte: "I speak to the club every day, we have a plan. This transfer market is crazy and we must be patient. It’s important to improve."

Conte: "I’m very happy to work with these players because they have given me full commitment every day."

Conte: "I think this league is a fantastic league, the most important in the world. There are many great clubs that can win the title."

Conte: "It will be a great battle. I’m very excited and my players are also excited. We are ready."

Q: Is pizza banned? - Conte laughs: "I bring my experience. Every single manager must improve their players under all aspects."

Conte: "In England you have the habit of playing music in the dressing room. It’s fantastic!"

Q: You seem very relaxed… - Conte: "I’m not! Because it’s the first time I manage a new team, in a new league, in a new country."

Conte: "It’s a fantastic league and country and I am very excited."

Conte: "We are working on a new philosophy. The players are the same as last season but I also know they won the league two years ago."

Conte: "We're working on a new idea of football, playing attractive football. We're working hard to get #Chelsea back into a good position."

Conte: “All clubs wants to improve because they want to fight for the title. #Chelsea is waiting for the right solution, it’s not easy."

Q: Are the prices too high for #Chelsea? - Conte: "No! The transfer market is crazy, when you try to buy a player the valuation is strange."

Q: How many players do you need? - Conte: "The transfer policy I will discuss with the club, please excuse me."

Q: Can #Chelsea play with three at the back? - Conte: "It’s important for the manager to find the right fit for the team."

Antonio Conte talks about different formations he used in his career and says he is never afraid to adapt to a new situation.

Conte: "In the future it can happen that I can change. But I’m trying very quickly to find the right fit."

Conte seems to be enjoying his #Chelsea press conferences. So much laughing going on.

Conte: "I speak a lot with my players. It’s important to get to know them, to understand and to listen to why last season was so bad."

Conte: "The match [against West Ham] will be very tough. It’s a good team and also it’s a derby. We know these games are very tough."

Conte: "We want to give our fans the satisfaction and we will try to do our best to win the game on Monday. But we know it’ll be difficult."

Conte: "It’s the first time for me for everything. To start with a derby's tough but I’m very excited. My players must have the right will."

[Fernando 6,453]

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.

Chelsea still want to sign up to four more players before the transfer window shuts, including central defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

It seems we might panic and buy crappy players like last season. Because Napoli don't want to sell Kalidou.
