Those comments are startting to get irrritating as fuck for some reason. Since when does a board signing mean Conte also wants him? I'm pretty sure he would want Fabinho 10/10 over Drinkwater at the same price more or less. Some are talking like it's out of the moon for the board to do something without carring about the manager's opinion, look no further than the last 3 summers.

Do you understand what "squad player" means? Fabinho would not sit on our bench. Who will he replace? Kante or Bakayoko wont sit on the bench. So pipe down.

Since when the fuck does a board signing mean Conte also wants him? I'm pretty sure he would want Fabinho 10/10 over Drinkwater at the same price more or less. I've seen enough evidence to suggest Drinkwater is in fact a player Conte himself wants. He did thorough scouting of Kante from 15/16 season and Drinkwater caught his eye in those same games, or do you think Kante was a board signing too and not a player Conte wanted because he was from Leicester? It's been pretty widely reported that Conte even wanted to bring in Drinkwater as early as last year but Leicester wouldn't so much as consider the sale after already losing Kante in the same transfer window and them having their once-in-a-lifetime CL campaign to look forward to but now there's a chance so the interest has been re-ignited. And yeah, like @Polo7 said I doubt Fabinho would come in to play the same role intended for Drinkwater. Of course managers would always prefer to have a squad of 25 world class players but in the real world that's rarely achievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kante or Bakayoko gets injured and we need to start Drinkwater, good luck getting a result against any top team in Europe. I don't give a fuck if he makes up the numbers for our squad, the moment we need to use him he won't help us. Most of the Top teams have better bench options than Drinkwater could ever hope to be. What exactly does Drinkwater have that Baker, Pasalic, Ruben didn't? Waste of money any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because City doesnt have Delph, because Liverpool doesnt have Milner, because United doesnt have Felaini. Your full of shit mate. Be quiet.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think he will be a really good addition, the type of addition that just plays himself into the side through sheer hard graft and grind. Tackles hard, works hard and won't be put off my big names around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of this signing either, but it is what it is and he deserves a chance before being bashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felaini for how much shit he is getting from his own fans is still above Drinkwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldportblue 547 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I would take drinkwater above fellaini any day personally... Also, we've had a so-so mikel as midfield backup for almost a decade, it didn't stop us from winning all the available trophies... Not saying I love this signing but at least he's had a very good year with kante and they play well together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levels. When people moan about West Brom signing Krychowiak, are they doing it because it sounds a like big-name player or doing it based on knowing his actual ability? Krychowiak has not even set the world alight at PSG and he's not exactly one of the most mobile midfielders around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
