Out if interest what's the point of such a negative and fatalist view before he's even kicked a ball for us? You have no idea if Conte will sign or not or whether we'll get a 3atb coach after him or not. Is it purely so if it doesn't work out you can quote your little post here and say "see, I told you not to get excited!!"
Sad if true.
No. It’s because so many comments on here are made with the benefit of hindsight (even though they felt differently at the time) or are just emotional reactions

I am making testable statements. From this position, there is a decent chance we will move to 4atb next season. If so, this is not a great signing. If we play 3atb next season then the club deserve praise for their strategic vision.

My response in 6 months will align with the above.
 
Er, that’s pretty much exactly what everyone on the board who dislikes ENIC wants.

A coherent footballing strategy where we buy the correct players for the correct formation.

And if you think people on the board are a joke, what about the people that run the club???
We don’t disagree. I’m clear on my criticisms too. It’s not black and white.
 
You will care about Porros defensive weaknesses when we move to a back 4 next season.

So many people on here are a joke - so desperate for a signing that you don’t think over a timeframe longer than 6 months.

You will care about Skriniars age in the next 20 years.

So many people from Paris are a joke - so desperate for a signing that you don’t think over a timeframe longer than 240 months.
 
I have no clue. Generally. But especially if this was supposed to be funny or serious.

I’ve heard he’s a pretty good player anyway. Doubt he’d wander straight into our first team though.

Typical Levy, cheap punt, champo, bald cunt, yacht, etc.
Levy is playing 4D chess here , signs the brother , Qatar money comes in , Jube then convinces Jude to come in the summer!
And to think people mocked the Levy appreciation thread! :levylol:

Absolutely correct...however, there is someone actually MAKING this short-term decision to appease these voices...and all because of the cumulative effect of previous short-term decisions by this same person...the person you are so often found defending. You see the irony, right?

I know nothing about Porro. If you say he has weaknesses in defense then I'm sure I'm going to hate him as I like players that deal with job #1 of their positional remit. His presence may help Conte's paint-by-numbers football become tolerable/efficient...I doubt it. But your point is also so very valid...this player may become a liability in a future system. But this type of thing is the brainchild of your guy, in this player he sees financial upside and is willing to ok the deal.

People here are just happy to have some tea to quench their thirst...sure, it's diuretic and in the longer term their condition will be more complicated due to this decision but the short term is all they've/we've been left to contemplate. Or are you suggesting that supporters should have longer term visions for things than the chairman does in his actions?
