But the post I responded to was in this thread discussing the way we conduct our summer transfer business. So this is the only thread (and the correct thread) to respond in.
I think I've only ever started one ENIC thread in my 10 years on the forum, btw
Opportunity, timing and he will probably be after both. Conte wants all the toys.So, why did he insist on buying a wide forward, Kulusevski, rather than a CAM, if he preferred 5-3-2?
No he does’t and he had every right to a few years ago but just got on with it and was professional.Seems fair enough. He doesn't seem to be one to kick up a stink particularly.
I'm also a bit taken aback, they've been spending like crazy for a while too.

Why are they complaining about Kroenke again?
Not like they're raking it in. They're the poorest of the big 6.
The only explanation I could find is that they're burning through their cash reserves from the Wenger era.
Spursidol what do you think?
This is incorrect.He didn’t have a choice last season we had only two working midfielders. For Inter and Chelsea he mostly used 3 CB’s, 3 CM’s, 2 WB’s and 2 strikers.
He may opt to keep the 343/523 he used with us but if he has a full squad there is no reason he might not switch to his other system.
That's second-guessing him. You may be right but so far he got in another CM (not an CAM) and he's after wide forwards, i.e. Raphinha or Richarlison. No sign of Conte being after a quality CAM (unless one believes the recent ITK on Maddison).Opportunity, timing and he will probably be after both. Conte wants all the toys.
People like you banged on about how we would be spending now we have Conte & CL so all the Levy/ENIC critics would be made to look silly as the investment was coming. Now you're covering your tracks by preparing for the investment NOT coming but saying that's OK as long as we improve the squad?
These goalposts .. will they ever stop moving?
If Conte wants to spend every penny available to him, he’s earned that with the heroics of last season getting us CL football and seems happy with the money the board have given him to spend.wtf is this rubbish, the windows hardly been open ffs
Most of us so called happy clappers couldn't give a shot if the whole £150 million gets spent, as long as Conte gets the players he wants who gives a shit how much they cost?
Your complaint was general and I am an individual, so I cannot speak for others.I have no idea. But I find it very funny that a lot of people were getting very smug over the cash injection and acting like it now meant the spending was on its way, now at the very sign that might not be the case, the goalposts have been shifted and its as long as the squad improves who cares about investment!
We've made a few canny signings but there are times when a club needs to bite the bullet and spend, particularly when it comes to attacking players. Let's see where we end up..
