Sanchez has much improved under Conte. But the thought of him next to Tanganga on a regular basis is frightening.

You might not even be realising this but I think your bias towards dier/davies is possibly the reason you dont see those fuckups as fuckups either. So even when they do fuckup you think its all okay and its just 'bad luck' or a 'lucky bounce'.
Surely selling them all our crap would do just that
The likes of Dele and Ndombele are the last thing you want as a team struggling against relegation
We are so predictable that anyone could write a story and get it pretty much spot on.
And that we’d go for the cheaper option. Apparently conte wanted Traore when at Chelsea but I fail to believe he’s one who conte wanted when he came in. More of a make do.
Completely different point to that of the "told you so" stance of your last post.
As you ought to have noted from my last post; I have my own reservations about Traore, but again, I was responding to the assertions of your response to the article, not an unspoken personal opinion on the player.
No shit! ...... 20m vs 50m for any player makes them an entirely different prospect/risk.
It would be very silly if all your're essentially saying is that price-tag shouldn't be a consideration with a player purchase.
Aside from dead-balls he's not very good.
Nah.... That's not what's at play here at all. I won't pretend for a moment that they're not without flaw..... Some of the fuck-ups you attribute to them are legit..... However, some of it is trumped up confirmation bias. It's blatant when you're gunning for a player.; their name is never far from your lips (even when discussing other players).
Send another text Antonio!
What, one another one that says "Fuck off you ugly cunt... Lots of love, Tony."?
Understand, but in recent years January transfers have included:
Bruno Fernandes
Tielemans
Odegaard
Pulisic
Higuain
Even Lo Celso (didn't work out but was a major signing at time)
These players have been bought by teams with an urgent need at the time. If we want top four and a trophy with the best manager this club has seen in decades, the need is very urgent.
We are the masters of our own fate if we do the work and put our money where our mouth is.
I'm tired of hearing reasons why Levy and ENIC should be given a free pass.
Levy as Fagin saying;
"You've got to pick a pocket or two boys".....
We would just enter Mike Ashley’s Newcastle era
A Jan loan.
Another Jan loan.
Pre-purchased, but didn't leave Dortmund til the summer.
Another Jan loan.
We signed him in the summer (we just triggered the purchase clause in Jan when it was decided we wanted to keep him).
"Bought" isn't strictly true in any of those cases apart from Fernandes.
Count how many times you hear managers and pundits say "It's tough to buy players in Jan" over the next month... It isn't excuse making; it's a commonly accepted notion throughout the game.
Clubs don't want to let their good players leave half-way through the season(*).
You ever wondered why virtually EVERY player contract ends on June 30th?
(*Sure we can probably cherry-pick a little list together over the last 10/20 years, but anomalies don't disprove the norm.)

It's relating to that point.
I know you do, I never indicated that you wanted him, I'm just saying Conte's interest was years ago doesn't mean he's still interested.
If his injuries are a concern at 50 million, why aren't they at 20 million? They still should be shouldn't they if it stops him from developing and playing games? A crocked player is a crocked player, He's a player that we'd be looking to, to improve the first team not just a squad player.
Lamptey looks pretty promising but if the reported £50m price tag is even close to being true it is a no go, simple as that.
He wanted him when he was 21, he's going to be 26 this month, so a lot of time has passed since he was first interested.
Nah...its your bias
Imagine conte sending him a random text now, " you are still not in my plans".
