Aurélien Tchouaméni is 1st team all league DMF and best young player

Already voted best Young Player of the Season in Ligue 1, the Monegasque midfielder has also been named to the UNFP Team of the season!

He has the face of someone that screams superstar, want him.

So in unsurprising news Conte seems to have fallen out with the Inter board and is about to leave the club. That likely puts Lukaku on the market because Inter could definitely use the money and Lukaku wanting to stay was more or less rumored to be down to Conte still being at the club.

If (or rather when) the club try for Haaland and Kane but fail, Lukaku should definitely become a target if Tuchel fancies him at all.

Conte is really something else, isn't he? He could have continued his work and made Chelsea a force in the European scene but instead chose to pick fights with everyone and ended getting sacked. Now he won the title convincingly with Inter and could try to get back-to-back titles for the first time in forever or maybe even mount a European challenge but instead chooses to pick fights with everyone and leaves.

Haaland is a Raiola player. We don't need that BS at Chelsea. Raiola clients in your squad can never be a good thing, that’s the best way to cause unrest

In for Lukaku.

I don't wish injuries to players but hope teams kick him hard at Euro, I'm desperate not to see this fucker here, if people complain about Werner's touch just wait until you see this guy, all the comments of his improvements are just Seria A football nothing more, the worst is actually paying so much for him and his salary which would make me proper sick, hope Conte stays. We can forget of any PL title with him wasting the No. 9, will take years to get rid of him afterwards.

Hes not that bad but I get what you're saying. 

I'd rather us get Sancho and play him RAM that sign Lukaku

But

I wouldn't be too fussed if we did go for Lukaku. There is one thing for sure... he knows where the net is.

Doesn't matter if he knows where the net is, we might batter some teams here and there but against the big one he will kill all our movements and attacks, I refuse to believe Tuchel who is a possession oriented manager would look at Lukaku and think we can win the biggest titles with him up top.

It also doesn't align with the club's ideas of going big for a 28 years old so I hope they stick to their guns. I'd rather trust Werner and Havertz this season next season until something better comes along or even go for some unknown talent but with Lukaku I know what we get and it won't be titles, he might stad pad his stats to look amazing but he is awful most of the times.

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.
