Not what I'm preaching mate (see subsequent posts)



Indeed not; I'm just responding the suggestion that Conte is fallible.... Of course he is, but surely his judgement is worthy of trust?



I'd still assume that if Conte catagorically said he didn't want player X then we wouldn't sign them.

Hid judgement is worthy of trust (although there is absolutely a line, if he wanted Hakimi for 150m would you say the club should ok it? Or is it only 'In Conte we trust' for cheap buys? There's limits to any managers free reign.

And I doubt Conte knows much about James. He likely just wants depth for the right hand side and has had some names fired his way, who knows really..

Both him and Adama are crap and in no way improves our squad. Why the fick do we not just keep Gil. I”d rather we kept berg than bring any of these two. Absolute idiotic transfer logic and whoever is behind this needs shooting. Nether of these two actually start for their clubs and we want them to add quality strength in depth. Amazing!

If people are not happy at James arrival, could they be placated by a sensational double swoop- both James AND Adama??

Who's gonna do the work of two men like peak Kante did?

.....Without that level of productivity(*) we will struggle when out-numbered as we've already seen v the Chavs.

(*Ditto Poch's 343 when Dembele was out..........)

The hope is that Bissouma will prove dominant enough to take the weight, but a combo of PEH & Bcur will understandably struggle in some games.

Depends if teams decide to do to us what Chelsea did. Which two games later, none of them have done.

I imagine if that's the case again, we switch it up like Conte did, but quicker.

Again, I'm not preaching that.

Of course, but (as per Hakimi hypothetical) if player X has been presented as an option to Conte by our DOF then we can presume that the club already deem him affordable and the managers decision will be largely based on the player's footballing attributes..

And no.... My view has nothing to do with price-tag or just being conveniently accepting of cheap players..... I had my reservations about Richarlison, but I trust Conte to have a more credible view on the player than I do.

Thankfully, he's looking like Conte made a good call.

What I'm saying transcends James or whatever other recent links have un-nerved some of the fans.

Do you disagree that we (i.e. the club) should trust Conte's judgement until such time that we are given reason not too?

.....Can't understand the resistance to what I've been saying tbh.
