Oh yeah I agree with you, pal. He wasn't reserve, that's why I was correcting the guy I was replying to.
I've more of a soft spot for AC Milan, but I wish Juve had sacked Rabiot as opposed to Bentancur. And I'm not saying that because I wanted that French twat at Spurs! No way, I can't stand him and his mom.

No way will we get Carlo but I don't want him, he'll just walk out when he gets a better job offer like he did Everton.Conte to PSG.
Poch to Real.
Carlo to Spurs.
Wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened...
I have followed the coach Count since he led Juventus. He has made some important steps. If he accepted Tottenham in the race it is because the club must have given guarantees, otherwise he would not have come. He is very proud as well as professional. In my opinion at this stage he is simply having a tug-of-war with Levy to force him to come out about what he was promised. As a Juventus fan I tell you that a club that invests in a new top-level stadium does not neglect the "technical" project. I am confident that this infighting will lead to more resources for the team. You will not have the Man United budget but large budgets are useless if you then pay medium-high level players as phenomena (DeGea, € 20 million a year)All sounds like guesswork to me, here's the bit from the article the aggregator is reporting.
So, is Conte’s departure imminent?
Well-placed sources close to the club were pretty much unanimous on Thursday that they can’t see Conte still being in charge at Tottenham next season.
But he is not expected to leave soon. Resigning would affect the size of the pay-off he would receive, and would be damaging to his reputation having taken the job so recently. It would suggest a lack of preparedness for what to expect at Spurs or an admission that he had overestimated his ability to turn things around.
Neither is a great look, though he may think he has enough credit in the bank that future employers would overlook the folly of the last few months.
Compatriot Carlo Ancelotti, for instance, was handed a second spell as Real Madrid coach last summer fresh from a pretty underwhelming year and a half managing Everton.
Were he to leave now, though, Conte would almost certainly have to wait until the summer for an attractive vacancy to open up. And remember, it was his itchy feet that compelled him to take the Spurs job in November having turned it down a few months earlier, during pre-season.
He also wants to prove he can be successful with a club who have neither a big transfer budget or heritage as one of their country’s most successful sides.
Rabiot is a good midfielder but in Juventus he is unable to perform as well as perhaps he could. Then he seems crushed by his own contract, incongruous. There are Juventus fans who would take him with their car to another city / clubOh yeah I agree with you, pal. He wasn't reserve, that's why I was correcting the guy I was replying to.

Like Modric you mean?Another waste of money Gill.
He will never be a decent Premier league player too weak and frail
I agree with you that the club comes first but Levy has to explain what he will do when he grows up. The stadium is fine with extra luxury accessories but what does he want to put on the pitch? He is not an emir or an oligarch but he cannot think of saving by taking only the top coach.Mate, 100 fcuking per cent.
Many will disagree with me but if this carries on until the end of the season we should get rid.
Top manager but too bloody volatile and for me, playing to the media.
He should rein in his expectation, stop with any hyperbole and add more value than he has in totality.
He is beginning to sound like he is making excuses in my book, which aren't necessary.
Nail of the fucking head......................
I'll chuck this piece in here as well, as it relates...............
It's exhausting!! There are posters in here that NEVER post in any thread about the football, their posts are exclusively about spending money, the board, everything apart from the football. Odd no?

Massive January window wasted as predicted by many - ended up with 2 rejects from a Paratici back-hand and now thissuprise suprise
gosh who didnt see this happening
its always the damn owners we aint going anywhere with them
I suggest fans storm Levy's office and forcefully remove himStarting to feel like the end of the season but with a few more defeats maybe sooner. Brillianly played by all concerned. If he does go and unless the owners decide to do the decent thing and sell (ha) we should do what we should have done a year ago, sack off Paratici, sell Kane and as many others as possible and start from scratch with a younger DoF and a footballing coach like Potter or ten Hag, although think Potter is probably too smart to touch us. It all just feels pointless with these owners though. They'll always be a glass ceiling.
