Tomo 21,751 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Jype said: Lukaku does seem like a really good fit for Conte's system though, 29 goals this season for Inter. If he'd joined instead of Morata in 2017 the following season would've 100% certain been much better (at least top4) and who knows, maybe Conte wouldn't have had his total meltdown and gotten sacked. Conte was desperate to get Lukaku, which is even more obvious now that he went and signed him for his next club. Can't say I regret the way things turned out with Conte now that the current project at the club is looking really exciting too but sometimes I do wonder what the team would look like if Conte had been backed properly and gotten the signings he wanted. He's a great manager tactically and even though some of his players look underwhelming to the outside, he knows exactly what he wants from his team and gets players who fit the system. While not all signings work out, Conte's teams overall are more often than not more than the sum of its parts. But as a person he's toxic as fuck so I don't really miss him. And yeah, under Sarri or Lampard I wouldn't want Lukaku anywhere near the team. But for Conte he's a great player. There's no guarantee it would have worked that way either. He may have scored more than Morata but they could have been the 6th and 7th and home to Stoke, the 4th at Huddersfield and the 3rd Vs Southampton. Also Morata scored the winner against United, something which can be reasonably assumed Rom wouldn't have done given his big game record. Morata also had an excellent game at Anfield and played a huge part in the equalizer, something that Lukaku may not have done. Furthermore we were comfortably in the top 4 in January despite Morata's flaws, it wasn't the striker issue that meant we lost out (we actually upgraded that January and still collapsed). Regarding Conte, he's been backed properly at Inter and is still acting like a baby, even if we somehow delayed the meltdown that season it would have happened the next. In hindsight the board should have took the fan outrage on the chin and sacked him after the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight the good options would've been to either back him 100% or get rid as soon as the first cracks in the relationship appeared (for example the Diego Costa incident). No half-measures like spending a lot of money on shit second-rate signings and still end up with an unhappy manager. The situation is eerily similar at Inter now. Either the board have to suck up and accept his toxic personality moving forward or cut ties with him asap, anything else will only end up in tears.

Inter's board knows how it has turned out in his previous club. I won't be surprised if he leaves tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Great talent, but no matter what we do we should make sure that at least 20 Million from the deal should be performance based. For example, If Havertz scores or assists a certain amount of goals, 5 million; If chelsea win a trophy with him, 10mil. If he makes 60 appearances another 5 million.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Inter v Leverkusen in the Europa League quarter finals next Monday.

Dimitr 488 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Kai Havertz deal could be completed next week. Player has total agreement with the club, the clubs are negotiating for a fee and Havertz wants to leave this summer and is determined to join Chelsea.

Pizy 18,916 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 As long as they're still in the EL he'll start and play. Think it's clear he's given them his word that he'll play out their season. Hopefully Conte does us a favor and eliminates them next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
