Tbf, I get that feeling from watching them.
But you’re skirting around the issue
If he’s handed a list in, he has no intention of giving certain players a chance and that’s how it should be.
He can keep the dressing happy and then sell them in January, but you’re views aren’t reliant on the window opening.
You believe everyone deserves a new chance. Not a new chance until January, but a chance to be a part of this teams future.
I’m not ok with Davies or Dier putting in a shift and starting games next season.
You might be, I’m not, and if Conte is going to do that, we could have just kept Nuno.
This is something that I can never get my head around. How as a professional athlete you’re either not being provided a nutritionist/dietitian , or getting one yourself.
We won’t improve enough without moving in January though
Yes we do need a few signings and then push on from there
I remember reading something somewhere about footballers and nutrition and they had to ensure that every player could make an omelette so there was always a - sort of - nutritious and quick option available at home.
I think you’ll be surprised at the lack of knowledge professional athletes (remember, these are 20ish years old and would normally be out on the beers and eating whatever they like) have about nutrition - they burn so many calories in training, it’s only when they have to recover they really look into it.
How dare people not remember Nicola Berti
He was aged about thirty
He came fron a team in Milan
He used to like walking down streets and telling people this

I'm sure the club have one but if I'm a player I'd get one myself. I remember Ramos saying how unfit and bad the players diet was, now we revisit the same issue 13 years later, this is basic stuff.
I think one factor is the ego of the modern player. If they've already made it pro by eating like they have, why change? I guess that is the mindset of at least some of them.
Top 4, league cup, Europa conference, all doable imo but a long way off atm.
That's a pretty clueless and knee-jerk post. For all we know Davies', or Dier's, or Winks' strengths are exactly what Conte is looking for and his system is such that it can cover the majority of their weaknesses. Neither I, nor anyone, has got a clue what Conte will do . One thing I can tell with a fair degree of certainty is that Conte's systems require players to follow very specific instructions and Davies, for example, is the kind of player that you can rely on to do just that. You don't need every player on the team to be a world beater, but you do require them to follow your instructions to the tee. That's what makes a team greater than the sum of its parts.
So relax and enjoy the process. We'll find out soon enough who's got it to make a Conte team and who doesn't.
I’ll bet you one million pounds you are wrong
Haha, our fanbase is on crack
You were hoping for a checkbook manager and not one that can improve players? You're supporting the wrong team, mate.
So you don’t want signings?
“Errr errrr yes of course we need signings…..errr I didn’t say that”
3…..2……1
Pretty damning on Nuno if they dont.
No it’s damning on themselves, the everyday Joe on the street knows what to eat
He won't..... But "finished"; no.
Chavs had this shite with Terry & Co having touch power which bled into Hazard, Fabregas, Costa etc....... Eventually players leave/retire and you get to move on. Far from desirable though.
