Not surprised in the least ....the very mention of his name has always been synonymous with the c word.

Wouldn't have made any difference he wanted to leave and wouldn't have stayed whatever was offered/promised. This wasn't simply the (and there was more than one) rants of someone not being backed or listened to, he was also suffering from ill health, depression and home sickness which all combined to cause him to engineer a move away without actually breaking his contract.

It’s not how I want to call it, that’s how club accounting is done. In terms of FFP this is a neutral transfer that scored us goals to get 5th, then scored the winner in the EL final
Johnson going and Maddison and Solanke injured means we need to buy associate trained HG player to fill quota for Champions League. Right now we have only Spence, Davies and Gray if i'm correct
We need to put an end to bringing in all these loan deals once and for all.Gallagher as a permanent transfer instead of Palinha.
That's my guess.

I'm not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of FFP but if you are counting the money in and out by the yearly installments how can you see the Johnson deal in money paid to date and the £35m from palace as payed in one payment because I very much doubt it will be paid in one installment
Yeah...OK, mateWouldn't have made any difference he wanted to leave and wouldn't have stayed whatever was offered/promised. This wasn't simply the (and there was more than one) rants of someone not being backed or listened to, he was also suffering from ill health, depression and home sickness which all combined to cause him to engineer a move away without actually breaking his contract.
That is exactly how it works....Palace will repay similarly and budget accordingly offsetting by length of contract. Which is why the Chavs started giving out longlife contracts to befuddle FFP.I'm not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of FFP but if you are counting the money in and out by the yearly installments how can you see the Johnson deal in money paid to date and the £35m from palace as payed in one payment because I very much doubt it will be paid in one installment

It’s not counted in one installment either way. Thats the point mate. They count the value per year, so we’ve already had 2 years of value from the asset that can be effectively written off.
Some shit like that, I’m not an accountant either. Just repeating the way I’ve heard it explained. No doubt there are resident accountants on here than can do a better job than me
He didn't want to fix the problems. His rant was designed to get precisely the outcome he got - a big fat cheque to stay - because he'd already downed tools and fucked off, the rant itself not being quite enough - in Italy.Conte is the best coach we've had in the modern era. And yes, better than Poch.
He's proving he's still at the very top of his game at Napoli.
Said it before, will say it again.
We shouldn't have sacked him. We should have asked him to fix all the (real, genuine) problems he listed in his rant.

These are exactly the sort of players we should be replacing our shirt fillers with.
Yes, Yildiz and Diomande are young, but they’re not the same thing as buying some cheap young punts from Sweden or Burnley or Leeds. They’re already seen as generational talents, playing regularly and excelling in top leagues. If we can get them now, we need to try, cause it’s the only chance we’ll get at them.
As we’ve seen with Eze & Semenyo, if we wait till they already in that top bracket, we ain’t getting them anymore. Top players don’t want to come here once they’re top players. We need to get them when they’re on the cusp of greatness. That’s the way back to competing for us.
I'm not your mate....try turning up to a game and that may or may not change.
I forgot to mention Kulusevski, would probably be more a 10 as well - I dont see him as a Frank RW.
Maybe Frank would play him LW?
He's not a 6. Terrier like presser/ball winner - but best in more advanced positions disrupting the other team.
In an Ange team would make a lot of sense. In a Frank one? Maybe - but at the expense of other, better players. Not as a DM/6 IMO.
