Conte on if he would allow Batshuayi to leave on loan: "No. He's a new player & to go on loan now is a defeat for the club and for me" #CFC

I think that is pretty much certain. Can still understand if Conte doesn't want to start Batshuayi in the league but if he doesn't do so in the FA Cup, then he would really be taking the piss!

Lol dude should have kept his mouth closed. I know he wants to play, but he has to know this is going to be all over the media. Gonna take away the focus from us breaking the win streak record.

Reckon Bats has Not been impressing conte in training. That's the only explanation for this kind of treatment. He has also not been impressing anyone in the few minutes he's got, so he should be working hard in practice to get more minutes - perhaps he's been lazy?

gotta assume the guys who watch him daily see something, that I, who barely seen him play, don't.

This

I want to see him play and thought this was the chance to get some minutes, but he's obviously not doing enough during training to give Conte confidence. Conte hasn't missed on any of his choices, so I'm going to trust him on it.

When Conte has shown so much quality and know-how, why wouldn't you trust his pristine wisdom that Michy simply isn't going to get goals for us?

Mate, if Conte told me... that if I took a crap on a sharks face whilst it slept it would ensure that I lived for an eternity... I would trust him.

It looked bad but i dont think Conte wanted to humiliate him. I think he just wanted to give Hazard his own standing ovation. He was even asking Courtois to kick the ball out the pitch but the ball was kept in play for like 4 / 5 minutes until the goal/end of the game.

The coach had other plans for tonight but i m sure he still beleives in Michy. He ll get his chances sooner or later.

I was pretty upset about the treatment he got, but then I read the interview and as I should have known, Conte knows what he is doing.

It's not that he isn't confident on Bats yet, based on the interview he is, but he wants to keep that winning streak more than any of us (whether he will voice it or not) because he is the kind of manager that chases those records and he knows it is important for us to keep it up for as long as we can because someday it will come to an end and we must have collected as many victories as possible until then. So he chose to go with players that have been playing and deciding games (except Willian, that is) rather than throw the responsibility of filling Diego's shoes on Bats' back.

I am ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SURE that he has been talking to Bats and although he is probably very frustrated right now - especially because he is still very young - I hope whatever Conte has been telling him is enough to keep him motivated.

Conte closed the door for loans, and he said that if Michy doesn't make it here it's his failure as well. That's a man owing his responsibilities developing a kid such as Michy, but also a man addicted to winning, and right now his #1 priority is keep winning rather than developing any player. Some may think it's possible to have both, but I believe Conte is the kind of guy that doesn't want to take that risk unnecessarily. So I go against what I said myself (before reading the interview) about Michy and Conte, as well as a possible loan. His time will come, Conte will work on him, it's just that right now what matters the most is to keep the wins coming and Conte feels wearing the starting XI down is how he will accomplish it. As we don't have anything else going on except the FA Cup round next week, I think he can afford it. Also small injuries and suspensions already gave resting time fo Matic, Costa, Kanté and Hazard. I'll choose to keep trusting the coach and having my fingers cross for my Barbshuayi.

Was Michy a Conte signing or a board signing?

100% a board signing. Michy signed for us when Conte was still Italy manager during the EURO 2016. He wasn't in any contact with Chelsea at that time I believe, focussing on the Italy team so. He said that himself that he would start working at and for Chelsea the moment Italy left the EURO'2016.

 

The situation is very easy to understand. Michy is simply not impressing Conte. Not during training as he never really makes any minutes but still feel bad for the lad as he really, really wants to play (for us).
