Conte promised 3 more signings...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/07/chelsea-managerantonio-conte-hoping-strengthen-defence-psgs/amp/

I'll be the first to guess the 3 signings -

VVD, Aurier and Drinkwater.

Cabellero, Rudiger, Bakayoko, Morata, VVD, Aurier, Drinkwater
I'd call that a pretty good transfer window

Slightly underwhelming from a attacking perspective especially considering Hazard will miss the first few games and Costa has been shown the door.

Hope not.

2 out of 3.

Put Llorente instead of VVD

Take out Drinkwater and put in Oxlaide Chamberlain and maybe Barkley and we've got a better attacking balance...

Guaranteed we get none other of those players I used to be positive about the board but seeing how frustrated Conte is I expect him leaving with none of the signings mentioned above

If the board do manage to bring in three new faces from the names mentioned it'll look like a good window and hide the fact that we have pissed about for months and should have had our business tied up a long time ago. Changes need to happen.

To be fair to the board...Juventus are only now getting replacement LBs (Spinazzola and Dalbert) and Aurier couldn't move till his appeal has been won....still wait to find out about that one...

I'm sure we'll bring in a few more faces, but whether they are good players and ones the manager wants, or more Hectors and Djilibobidis remains to be seen.

Imagine if we sign Aurier and Sandro on the same day?

Dalbert is joining Inter and Spinazzola is still at Atalanta.

You must have said this in jest surely ???. Moreno is most probably the worst defender the PL has ever seen.

Yea, even Moses can't tackle for his life. Yet he learnt it, won us the league and never look back.

As well as the transfer window you should let the forum decide.

My transfer forum choice would be, if we sign Bale you should get Musonda on the back of your shirt.

 

And then loan him to Vittesse

Imagine if we sign Aurier and Sandro on the same day?

I will be pissed!

Mate, I'd lay low if I were you, after saying you would be happy with Moreno from Liverpool. You must have been drunk when you said that.

He'll be pissed off because we didn't get Moreno ahead of Sandro.

Surprised we're still prioritising defence. I understand Sandro because he's WC but we need a top quality attackingwise. Without Hazard we lack so much creativity, Pedro is great at finishing moves off but I wouldn't put him in the insanely creative bracket and Willian is well Willian. He slows the game down too much for me, especially for a player with his amount of pace.

 

still short in the centre of the park as well.

I'm pretty sure we're prioritising the midfield, wingbacks and attackers. We're being linked with VVD because it doesn't matter how well stocked you are, when a player like that hands in transfer request you just don't ignore it. He'd walk into any side in the league.

Can't believe people seriously thought Bale would choose us over United. The amount of hate he would get from spurs fans would be insane.

god i would not want bale at all. i think he's been overrated and had one good season at spurs and his first season at real was good, but apart from that he's been inconsistent and injury prone. he's got another injury now from what i've heard.

there's very few creative players out there. one of the worst decisions this club/jose made was to let go of kdb. i do, however, believe musonda can grow into a top player given the chances here to do so. let us not make another mistake with a promising belgian. 

I remember back in the day when playing Pro Evo Soccer you could only sign one player at a time and could only move on to the next one once the first had been completed, I'm pretty sure some think this is how it works, surely we are working on multiple target and positions at the same time.   VVD is currently the big news and probably the closest to a transfer so its only natural that it looks like thats our main target, but he's not going to be the only signing and signing him may not mean we have to downgrade our other transfer targets. 

On Van Dijk, if Conte can see a potential WC player in him, then why not bring him in?  There maybe no other players in other positions that are in the same bracket, maybe we willing to wait for next season to bring in a Griezmann and cover will do until then.  I hope Conte is trying to plan for the future rather than 1 season.
