Yep but he is a terrible right wing back in Contes system. Defensively solid, but cannot attack effectively.Very good right back ?

my point was that we got no money for the "deadwood" people are giving him massive praise for. We loaned them out so it's not as if he did something spectacular getting rid of them (the only one we got rid of permanently was for free).
In the summer he brought in
Gollini who looks useless
Emerson who is useless
Romero who looks good but I'm still not sold
on
Gil who has since been loaned out
Sarr who was loaned out
That is not a good return.
In January he brought in 2 players who have been very good so far so he has redeemed himself BUT he is dealing with his old club so he didn't need to showcase his DOF skills to an extent. As I said the jury is still out and I will wait to see what he does in the summer.
I have no inside knowledge, but seems to me like he hired him to fire him.what do you mean he had to make do with Nuno? please elaborate.
If NDombele and GLC are with us at the start of next season I shall be extremely disappointed. So much so that I will send a very strongly worded letter to Mr Paratici.
Not his fault.... He didn't sign them.
It's been discussed over and over (and over again), but selling them is gonna be virtually impossible; particularly in Ndombele's case.
Unless he breaches his contract, we owe him £30m; it's a simple as that. Cross both fingers that another loan can be found; allowing us to at least re-coup some of that...... The 60m trf is as good as a write off already.
virtually impossible to sell Lo Celso?Not his fault.... He didn't sign them.

50 to 60 Mill for Gil? ummmmmmmmmI think we can sell all of Ndombele, Lo Celso, Gil, Emerson and whoever else. Ndombele, Lo Celso and in particular Gil have done quite well on loan. Obviously it’s the price point but £20-30m for Lo Celso and Ndombele and £50-60m for Gil could be very doable IMO. Even Emerson reportedly has a good bit of interest.

[re: Gil] Why not, he has had reported Barca interest and a few other clubs, is doing excellent at Valencia and is a Spanish international and very young. £50m is even that much these days.
Well, I find Fabio very personable, he's saying all the right things, and his transfer dealings seem to be ok/good so far. And if he's the main reason we managed to land Antonio, then he's earned his corn so far. He's a huge step up from Hitchin, that's for sure, in every department.
Yeah I agree with all of that. Sure he didn’t start off well with the manager search and Nuno was a huge cock up but he came into the club at a hard time in regards to that. We’d properly messed it up pretty much for the day of sacking Mourinho and not tying up Nagelsmann right that day for whatever reason.
I’m really happy with Conte so it has worked out well in the end but I can’t help and think that this season could have gone a lot better. He’s done as well as he could in the circumstances I think.
I think Paratici may well be bang average as a DOF. But he has already shown how atrocious the Hitchen years were - clearly no ability to manage Levy or Poch and an unbelievable lack of hits given the money we did spend.It's time to give him some credit.
Romero Bentancur Kulusevski transfers all paying off.
Gil a fantastic prospect.
