Isco would be great,

posted on 13/2/23

Isco would be great but pointless as he is not a Conte type of player and would not play. We would just be paying him a massve wage for nowt.

lol so true that is......Don't think Conte likes flash, skillful players... or footballers and just wants work horses. Unfotunatle for him we don't seem to have either in our squad. Isco was (maybe still is) a very very good footballer.

Anyone else starting to think he was a club signing too ?

I mean Son can’t be any worse yet plays every single bloody minute (mostly)

.......and also tries to turn any half decent footballers into work horses which won't work either as he is finding out with our lot.

I don’t want Conte players.

Basically, any transfer that’s successful eg Bents and Kulu are Conte players and any others were players he didn’t want🤣

It will be exactly that with Porro. If he’s craap then it won’t be the RWB Conte wanted, if he does well it’s “look what happens when you give him who he wants”

Conte probably wanted Pedro Gonçalves , Levy got the wrong Pedro.

The key point here is not Conte bashing and I'm certainly not......... but he needs to take a long hard look at himself and the team, have word with himself and realise it's not working, the players he's got simply cannot play the way he wants them to with any consistant success.

So be a manager, coach whatever but adapt change it
and use the players you have and their abillities (granted limited in some cases) to get the best out of them. Theres players in the squad that can play football so play it.

This , it’s like he’s trying to get PEH to play Paul Gasgoine , unfortunately he plays like Bamber Gasgoine.

Bamber Gasgoine on ice would be more accurate.

Sometimes it is as simple as the old round square pegs saying and going back basics.

It makes me so mad that Richarlison can't get a game. I really wish Conte would just fack off now. I just don't get how anyone can keep defending him. I know we now have a horrible injury list, but how can you not get your players up for a game against Leicester (who we always beat) that would close the gap on top four and continue a good run? It so clearly isn't working and I'm starting to really dislike the bloke. Enough now.

Problem is no matter who we sign Conte won't use them..he doesn't even use Richarlison properly.

posted on 13/2/23

I'm bored of Conte. Complains about squad but won't use seasoned internationals. Now Skipp and Sarr are undercooked because they get no game time. Danjuma will be his new Bergwijn..89th minute subs etc

Got to be something up with Isco for the football World to dump him.

posted on 13/2/23

Logic says we should sign someone. Conte and Levy will defy logic

Maybe his wage demands are beyond what any club will pay. Stupid of him if true but that would be my guess.

Can't do it in Spain anymore, by all accounts he's overweight and has a crappy attitude. I don't see a club that needs a player like that even if they could afford him.

That would explain it then. I knew something must be amiss with him these days.

If I was Conte I would pick the following team to start tonight.

Forster
Emerson Romero Lenglet. Davies

Hojberg. DIER. Sarr

Son. Kane. Perisic


I know that you might think I am mad selecting Dier in midfield but that was his original position. I think he could surprise us all.

But as I am not Conte then it will not happen.
