From a Spurs man and all!
These are the players Conte signed in 2017 at Chelsea
Morata 60 mill
Bakayoko 36 mill
Drinkwater 34 mill
Rudiger 31 mill
Zappacosta 22 mill
Emerson 18 mill
Giroud 15 mill
Barkley 15 mill
231 million, the summer after winning the league with CL on offer and that's the crap they ended up with. No wonder he was sacked 1 year later after finishing 5th.

Yep.
Honestly, the bullshit they come up with.
Personally, I’m not that convinced we’ll get Conte. I just don’t see how we can match his financial demands.
Bakayoko & Drinkwater for a combined 70m must rank as the biggest ever pissing money down the drain in football history.
At least that was Ambramovich's stolen filthy lucre....
Wasn’t there a power struggle with him wanting more control over transfers after these signings were made ?
Yeah unlike Poch and his "eye" for signings.
Loved N'Jie, Stambouli, Janssen, Fazio, Nkoudou, Sessegnon and Sissoko.
Quaaaaality!
Because he knows Conte will fight him if he does.
3 HOURS
Last night it seemed like it was going to be Poch. I wake today, it's gone 180 to Conte. I had to do a double take to make sure all the Poch news yesterday wasn't a dream, since I haven't seen him mentioned at all today.
Rumours are getting tiresome, let me know when we've officially appoint someone.
Except Brendan Rodgers, that I rather not know.

So he wanted more Danny Drinkwaters?
Yea, I thought Conte didn't want most of that list, but who knows.
Not a fan of Conte, hope we get tenHag if Poch is too difficult.
Will be gutted if the new manager won't ve Poch.

I believe the issue was the structure at Chelsea - this past summer they signed a bunch of guys and told Lampard to make it work and he couldn't. Then they brought in a guy that did.So he wanted more Danny Drinkwaters?
I think Conte wanted more input on transfers and the club basically ignored him and bought who they wanted. Maybe. Again, it's all a bit murky when it comes to transfer regarding how much control the manager does or should have.
He hasn’t joined yet. I wouldn’t get your hopes up until we see a photo of him signing the contract.
That photo he posted today isn’t from puglia. It doesn’t have a coastline like that.
No that would mean he wasn’t happy with those signings and wanted control so could have less Danny drinkwatersSo he wanted more Danny Drinkwaters?
Graham Potter still has 98 votes in this poll. Let it go lads lol
As stated in other posts. Chelsea just bought the players and told him to coach them.
You’re a bit naive if you think managers dictate transfer policy at big clubs.
