Conte at Chelsea

Conte really needs to make things right soon otherwise they look like no chance with the title defense.

This is just proof that you've never watched Willian over an entire season. Please don't say what you don't know Willian better than Pedro? Hahahaha!!! Willian is an extremely frustrating player who doesn't know the first thing about creativity on the pitch and will make the dumb decision 8 times out of 10. Pace merchant who doesn't even score nearly as much as his talent allows him to. I like the guy but no way he should be starting for us. Pedro has offered us so much more. Maybe try watching Chelsea a bit more before you say any of that? Or are you just saying that because you're a Barca fan and are trying to further justify Barca binning Pedro?

He did exactly that last season and was one of our most important players. Scored important goals in like 5 different matches if I recall correctly and chipped in about 12 goals or so.

Dont know, most of the time I watch him, especailly more recently, he doesnt feel good enough. His strengths are his eye for goal, pace, work rate, but creatively I definitely dont rate him over Willian, let alone overall. With Costa gone and the way Chelsea play, wont be easy for him. Lets see how he progresses as the season goes.

Cut the nonsense. Conte isn't going anywhere. Sometimes I feel like people just want to believe the sensational story whether it flies in the face of logic or not.

Abramovich sacked Chelsea's managers only with some reason behind it. It's obvious that he doesn't give his support to them for more than half a season if the team goes down, but should he?  A home loss and that's it? Nope, I don't think so. Honestly, Chelsea is doing just fine right now. Especially after winning at Tottenham.

And about the fact that Conte isn't happy about how this transfer market went so far...it would be a puerile attitude from him to quit his job because of this. Those guys are professionals, they are mature, they don't quit a job just because there is a conflict. It's always more than that.

Conte straight up quit his last club job (Juve) because of the disparity in ideas in the transfer market. So yes, definitely if this keeps going on he'll end up quitting again.

If that is true I'm sorry to say, but he is an idiot. (if it is about a single transfer period)

2 transfer periods basically. When he arrived the squad got a heavy investment (pirlo, Vidal, Vucinic, Marti, Quagliarella, etc.). The seasons after that, he always wanted to improve the squad more while Juve were fairly broke. That we didn't get him wingers (Cuadrado, Alexis, Iturbe, etc.) And that Juve couldn't spend as much at the time as he wanted, ended with him leaving.

That famous phrase "you can't eat in a €100 restaurant with €10" when he talked about the CL while at Juve.

Our board have mostly been stupid but they've also tried. He wanted Morata, we got him Morata eventually. He wanted Rudiger (since summer 2016 actually but got injured and we abandoned the transfer), we got him Rudiger. He wanted Sandro, we made a few bids for Sandro but Juve just won't sell, that's not our fault. I'm sure Conte realises that. Having said that, we should have gotten more cover for our midfield much sooner and cover at RWB as well as stepping away from Sandro much earlier to target other LWBs. We're about to spend 30m-40m on Danny Drinkwater when Corentin Tolisso went to Bayern for 35m. Granted he chose Bayern over us but if we really wanted him we could have offered him more money and made our intent stronger. We let players like Cancelo and co go to Inter and we're trying to get Oxlade-Chamberlain. Stupid on the board's part.

It's important for Conte to continue to put pressure on the board. If there's no pressure on them, we get a season like 15/16. That said, this isn't the same situation as when Conte left Juve so saying he'll quit is atm far fetched.

Conte needs to realise that unless he's at Madrid, PSG or United then he's not going to get exactly what he wants 9/10 times.

We perform best when no one thinks we can win. We'll keep flying under the Manchester radar and keep doing our thing. Crisis? What crisis?
