It was a hypothetical as we know fuck all what Conte will do and who he sees as fitting into his system. Interestingly, you seem to have all the answers. Are you on his coaching staff and not telling us?

No are you?

What will you say when Conte goes out and spends a half a billion over the next three seasons?
Will you oppose having a checkbook manager and demand he reinstate Winks and Dier and train them up?

Yeah that’s the problem, it’s Levy sticking his finger in.
There is no way Conte takes his team, sees Mason for one hour with the under 23s and says “wow I want that guy on board”

Levy might see a future manager, but I’m not sure anyone else did

Completely agree with the bolded bit.

Considering the length of the contract( only to the end of next season) I think Conte has said, I'll give this a go but not for very long. So levy said "okay can you please teach my guy a little bit while you are here. So he can carry on those same things after you are gone. "Conte has accepted it, he doesnt mind teaching a little bit Im sure.

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.

You see this in other sports as well.

Zion Williamson, one of the NBA's hot new stars, has been out injured for a while and has ballooned up to around 300 pounds. Which is not a good weight for a basketball player. Charles Barkley, who also struggled with his weight early in his career, talked about it in pure Barkley fashion on one of the NBA punditry shows.

Yes I think the first few days has been a massive eye opener. This squad is toxic and full of under performers, they’ve taken the piss out of 3 coaches, I’d be amazed if Conte tolerated it. And if he does we’re finished as a club.

We won’t improve enough without moving in January though

These posts nail it. This squad is fucking awful. Rammed full of below par players.

I shake my head in disbelief when people say we’re aiming for 4th. Not a chance. We’re miles away from that and a new manager won’t change it.

There are signs that the clear out began in the summer but it was always going to be a long process. 2-3 windows minimum. Then we have to hope the replacements work out as intended.

Luckily we have a manager ideally suited to the patient long term rebuild, coaxing the best out of sub par players until their replacement arrives in a year or two. Oh hang on …. No …. Wait……

There’s one reason the squad is now “good enough”:
Must disagree with Sammy

Give these people one choice:

1)Today, sign Contes list and replace the deadwood

2)Continue with the squad


Errrr that’s hypothetical and meaningless

3….2…..1

:harrylol:
 
2nd goal on Thursday was more structured and forward thrusting than any goal we've scored in quite some time, and that was after two training seasons "led" by Mason with Conte "observing"

Give him until Christmas to get the squad fit and better versed in his tactical setup and the second half of the year could be quite exciting.

I'm gullible enough to believe that Conte has convinced Daniel to finally push the button on option 1.
