I always hear this creative MF bullshit. Do you fucking know how Conte plays? This is not part of his system.
Creative midfielders have been parts of most Conte setups since the day he started managing. He's used lots of them. I agree that it's not a priority for him in this particular formation & people are silly if they think signing one creative mid will fix our overall issues in possession as a team, but there's still space for a more technical CM in this team.
