Can't blame Conte tbh, he just won Serie A and want to challenge CL next season then suddenly Inter told him they don't have the money and need to sell several players. 

Yes, every coach would want money to spend and keep their players but at the same time and the annoying thing with Conte is, he has shown that he is a good coach. He can coach and improve players when he puts his mind into it. We saw it at Juventus. We saw it here. We have seen it at Inter. Instead, the second he doesn't get what he fully wants, he'll start to throw tantrums etc.

Regarding Lukaku, I'm not sure if Inter will just sell arguably their biggest asset this summer, financial trouble or not. There are already rumors they are looking to get rid of the likes of Young, Kolarov etc.

Nothing wrong if Conte has an ambition, the man is a serial winners.

It's not about having ambition or not. It's about making compromises, especially at times like this, and focus on what he's actually good at - coaching. 

Do you think someone like Sir Alex Ferguson got what he wanted every year at Man United? No but that didn't stop him from finding ways to work around tricky situations and be successful. 

Unless Conte is at Man City, no club is gonna just bow down to the manager and just spend like no one's business for the manager. It should also be noted that Inter have also bent a lot for Conte since he got there. Is it hard for him to just maybe compromise a little?

Well... considering his history at Juve and Chelsea, the answer should be pretty clear no? There is no chance Conte will accept it.

If Conte can't find a way to compromise, then good luck to him finding a club that will forever bend to his will and demands because he's never going to get the City job and no other club will just spend money willy nilly for the manager.

I'd be more concerned with Conte taking the Spurs job if he leaves Inter. Enough evidence now to suggest he's not a long term appointment but he has been successful wherever he's been and he'd probably be one of the better managers Spurs could get to sort out the rabble over there.

So Conte isn’t happy with Inter ambition is going to go to Tottenham? Huh

He's not going to join Tottenham. 😂

Real Madrid could be a possibility if Conte actually does leave and wants to join another club immediately. Or he can take some time off football and join another club mid-season or next year.

I actually think it's more to do with him creating issues that aren't necessarily there as an exit strategy so he doesn't stay long term.

I don't think his management style can work over the long term, a little like Mourinho.

And if he left Inter, the Spurs job might be one of the better jobs available this summer so yes I could see him making that move potentially.

Same can be said about Mourinho until he went to Spuds.

Completely different in my opinion. Firstly, I think Mourinho's stock has been falling for some time, and that was proven by what he failed to accomplish at Spurs. Compared to Conte who is still operating currently at a successful level.

And secondly, Conte has a track record of walking into a struggling club and galvanising it (Juventus, ourselves, Inter) whereas Mourinho has been used to walking into a club that is already operating at a high level and he's able to then take that up a couple of notches to an even higher level. I would be more concerned with Conte going to Spurs then I was Mourinho going there.

But those clubs that Conte walked into were also willing to spend, at least a little, and the board were willing to work him on transfers (okay, maybe not here). Unless Spurs sell Kane for 100m+, they won't have much money, if any, to spend at all. Is Conte then willing to go there if he can't spend much at all? He's already going to walk away from Inter because they have to cut costs. On top of that, is Conte willing to settle for only fighting for Top 4? He has looked only pumped up when a club are able to fight for the league title but not as much when they aren't.

Depend show true the rumours are about Poch being unhappy at PSG, I could see him going to Madrid and Conte going to PSG, a team that will spend.

[chippy 342]

Sky Sports saying Willian wants to return to Chelsea.

While I think he would have done better than CHO has done for us this season, it would be the wrong move to bring him back.

Prefer to see CHO be given one more season to see if he's got what it takes to make it here as the right sided player.

Fair point. Hopefully it's something not to worry about regardless!

I think if he walks out on Inter though, Spurs would enquire about him almost immediately. Then I assume it's up to themselves to sell the club to him.

[whats happening 1,615]

i would sell cho. i dont think he has the mentality for a top top player. ziyech is the one i would give another six months chance. and go for jadon instead of lukaku.

[Superblue 6,372]

Talk about Inter and Lukaku. But if Tuchel wants to carry on playing a back 3, I think we should definitely look at Hakimi for the wing back role, and transition James into the back 3.

I actually think James has looked pretty good in that position the last couple of weeks, the bigger problem is Azpi playing wing back as a result.
