Vybzkartel 284 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 People crucified me yesterday when i said Carroll was definitely a Conte signing. The guy likes mediocre players even when he was the italian manager he left talented players like Bernadeshi, Lorenzo, Balotelli and Bellotti to take work horses to the Euros. He even wanted that donkey Llorente too, u can see the type of players he likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except he's injured... So probably won't be much of a second option very often. That's why is so stupid and why West ham fans aren't devastated by it... He doesn't do full seasons.

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 7 hours ago, Superblue_1986 said: I agree £200m should have been more than sufficient to refresh our squad. When you consider Christensen came back from his loan spell and we arguably could have kept a couple of others like Zouma, Abraham and RLC to fill out the squad, we realistically could have spent that money on 3, maybe 4 top players to significantly improve the starting XI. However the board do still have a lot to answer for with regards to strategy. In hindsight bringing Mourinho back was arguably the most damaging thing the club could have done in the long term. We were in a transition phase but had brought so many young, quality players whilst the likes of Cech, Lampard, Terry, Ivanovic and Cole still had a year or two left at the top level to help bridge a changeover. So many of these players were exciting young players, and even purchases like Cahill for £7m were clever and considered. We had the makings of an attacking, expansive and youthful side but the last thing we needed was the right manager for this. I believe the backlash over Benitez made the club panic and go for Mourinho. I'm not his biggest fan but I can only imagine what someone like Klopp could have done with the squad we had at that time. When you think of the players that Mourinho discarded - Bertrand, Luiz, De Bruyne, Mata, Lukaku, the list goes on. When Mourinho was sacked it left us with a squad that had no structure, no long term plan. Then Conte comes in with a completely different system and style of play which was fresh and re-invigorated the club. But he was putting square pegs in round holes to do so, and because the club hasn't got 'all-in' with him to get the players that will suit his system best, we're heading towards the same position we were in when Mourinho was sacked 2 years ago which is a squad lacking a true identity. Problem was, i genuinely believe Mourinho wanted to "change" but got caught out of his depth doing so. He tried at the start of his first two seasons back (i don't believe he would have got accepted back if he didn't make a commitment to adapting to our new direction, even Benitez altered from his usual approach to accommodate it) but quickly reverted to type when results started to waver, a lot of us (me included) thought he may have been doing it because it's getting to the stage results take preference over performance, but in 15/16 it quickly became evident he had no plan atall bar here and now. It was a nice idea but both the club and Jose himself seriously overestimated his ability to 'settle down', hopefully United make the same misjudgment. I think we have signed the type of players to suit Conte's system on paper, we have just stuffed up with the quality level for half of them. Bakayoko, Drinkwater and Zappacosta would be perfect Conte players if he was managing Torino. With good quality scouting we could have found top quality players with that money, one example from the top of my head is Koziello from Nice.
