I just find the "Conte having doubts" stuff a bit hard to believe.

like Conte says says "Dan I want to win titles do you?"

and Levy's like "nah, mate 4th on the final is more us!" it's BS.

this is happening lads, it's the same for most clubs - all the press get wind then there's 4/5 days of negotiating before an announcement is made.
 
Normally I would say it’s over. But Conte seems like a wild one and this could be just his negotiating poly to get a bit extra. Feeding to a source in the press he ain’t sure, get Levy shitting his pants.

Agree.

Although, sounds like Conte tends to say ‘I’ll join if you confirm I can spend 150 million and get me these four players’.

Levy might have made positive noises initially but had to explain that the only way we spend that is if Kane is sold.

Conte is 100% a cheque book manager.

It's probably more like...

"Dan, there are some good pieces here but I need at least 100 million pounds to get us competing, can you do that?"

"Well, how about 10 million pounds instead?"

Maybe Conte's wording is him being diplomatic.
Maybe he said "to get this squad firing on all cylinders i need a 110 mill,plust the 60 mill i can get from the dead wood.
Daniel replies," well the 30 mill from the dead wood is no problem, its just we are waiting for a cash injection for the other 55 milllion"...

You have to think about the rest of the conversation too.

"So how much are we spending this summer to get this guy this guy this guy and this guy"

and levy would obviously reply with " great players but how about these cheaper options instead plus you get to keep winks and dier and doherty"

So Conte having doubts might not be completely out of the picture.
 
Didn't we spend 150 2 summers ago - on Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon and Clark?

even last summer we spent 100M didn't we?

I don't think it's unlikely at all that we could offer Conte 150M to spend and give him whatever we make from Aurier, Sissoko, Dier, Winks, Lamela etc
