Champions League football, a front three to match any in Europe and a truly elite manager.
Levy simply has to give Conte and Paratici the green light for serious investment this summer. We cannot make the mistake we made a few seasons back when we failed to invest for two transfer windows. It's largely why we slipped for the past three seasons.
This is a golden opportunity. A quality RWB and LWB would allow us to execute proper Conteball. But the addition of a LCB, a more creative minded CM and an improvement on Bergwijn or Lucas (whoever leaves) would turn us into a frighteningly good side.
All very true.
And I would want to add that THE TIME IS NOW !!!
These situations do not last forever -
- Conte's contract runs until end of next season - if we want to even dream about him prolonging it, we NEED to keep him happy. And we need to give him tools.
- Son is soon 30; Kane soon 29; Lloris 35 and has played >400 games for us. They will not stay forever. Both Son and Kane are at peak of their abilities. This is limited time offer.
- Newcastle is raising force - soon we have to consider them as one significant competitor ; ManU will get a new manager and spend fortunes once more; Chelsea might see some turbulence with change in ownership
- We already have made part of the calculation - with 2 windows we moved on 13 players out of whom 10 were playing for us last season in Hart, Alderweireld, Sissoko, Ndombele, Alli, Lamela, Lo Celso, Aurier, Bale, Vinicius - we have made room. We need to find permanent solutions to Ndombele and Lo Celso situation, but while moving on 10 players we have added only 4 (Romero, Royal, Benta, Kulu). So there is room AND need for depth if we play in multiple levels
So once more THE TIME IS NOW. Chance is here, let's fucking take it now!
Let's not let it slip.
