Not sure our CBs can create though. Also not sure other teams won't be happy to have them being our outlet. Dier romero Davies, if I was the manager of another team I'd be happy to let that happen all game.... To be honest I doubt conte would see it any differently - allowing the CBs to have the ball is almost an Italian tactic of choice. I'm not against the idea of our tactics I'm just like the idea of having options.
I agree with you - not sure our CBs can create. I think for them its just what you do to try and create a man advantage somewhere in attack (ie its tactically imperative) while playing with an "extra" defender (the classically italian way).

Conte already showed a willingness to go 4-2-3-1 though, and against Chelsea at that, so I wouldn't worry that he will be too inflexible when needed.

Richarldson made a huge difference in that game - they didn't know what to do with him - loved that!
 
The Tottenham garden gnome is value for money.

Was it modelled on Ossie Ardiles?
 
Of course it doesn’t. But come on, Maguire has never been, and never will be, on the same level as either van Dijk or Fofana.


What has Fofana done to be mentioned in the same sentence as VD?
He’s only been at Leicester 2 years IIRC and has been injured for a lot of that time.
I confess I don’t watch Leicester every week but he never stood out as an £80m defender to me
 
90 mill euros so what around 80 mill give or take for a 20 yr old centre back who can give chelsea 10 yrs of service, fofana and gvardiol they are building for the future
They spent £70m on Havertz, nearly £60m on Pulisic and £55m on Werner, who all looked great in Germany, and they've been mostly crap.

Gvardiol looks extremely talented, but 90m on a 20yo center back who's getting loaned out for a year is no guarantee of a set defence for the next decade.
