You guys dont get it.
Conte is buying for now and Woolwich are building a team for the next 60 years!!!
True but we are not ready yet
Shame he hasn’t played much in the preseason.Spence is going to be a Walker-esque star, just watch his highlights vs PL opposition last season.
There is nothing mysterious about him
Providing they can get h to comeHere's a player to have in your team
Nottingham Forest are interested in 24-year-old Dutch striker Jizz Hornkamp
He's going to take some stick.....
I think this lack of squad cover will get brought out into the open within the first couple of gamesShame he hasn’t played much in the preseason.
We were dreadful at RWB last season barring a few good games from Doherty. Even then, he’s extremely limited even when he does occasionally produce.
If RWB continues to be our worst position, we are going to have missed a big opportunity to improve the team considering how important wing backs are to Conte.
RWB is by far the position that concerns me the most (especially if Spence doesn’t see much time) and it’s not like we can use Perisic on the right because Sess isn’t any better than the rest.
I'll certainly be watching....hopefully so...Spence is going to be a Walker-esque star, just watch his highlights vs PL opposition last season.

Our squad is the largest it's ever been. We have 3 RWB's currently.I think this lack of squad cover will get brought out into the open within the first couple of games
Conte was pretty quick to distance himself from the Spence deal.
Fuck off you simpletonWell worth continuing to highlight the fraud. Shambles of a player, will cost us points if he makes an appearance. Not even Championship standard

If we want to win anything (much less challenge for the league) we absolutely have to stop thinking solely about the starting eleven, and talk about squad depth and rotation options.
According to Ali G Fab identified him specifically with Conte-ball in mind (catagorically stating that he was otherwise of no interest to us) & Conte approved him.....
Isn't that how this DOF shit is meant to work?
How did we get to our size and wealth? Has that got anything to do with the owners?The OWNERS, mate. Not the CLUB
*these stepford supporters really need to start distinguishing between the two*
Anyhow, that aside, 1 Carling Cup in over 2 decades, and 0 trophies in 15 years, for a club of our size and wealth surely indicates I have a very valid point.
The stats don't lie, my friend, whichever way you want to spin them
Edit: Big thanks totodd1882 for enlightening me to the term "Stepford fan / supporter"
I think I'll be using it quite a lot in the future
Toes are bastards. Many a year ago I injured my toe simply kicking a football (Very poor technique). Pain for weeks due to walking being quite integral.My enthusiasm was sapped right out of me this morning.
Woke up with searing pain in my big toe. Suspect a fracture from running a lot. Now have to contend with a LOT of walking on Saturday with that pain

I get the impression Conte is far more interested in another good CB and an upgrade at RWB. Although this Lenglet deal seems to be a stopgap before a huge bid for Bastoni next summer.If we want to win anything (much less challenge for the league) we absolutely have to stop thinking solely about the starting eleven, and talk about squad depth and rotation options.
It isn't clear to me that an attacking midfielder is the highest priority on Conte's list, but it would give us options to change our shape and keep opponents guessing, which would be nice.
