Antonio Conte - Now Officially Manager

Featured Replies

can see something like this being the team under Conte next season:

 

Courtois

 

Zouma - Terry/Dann - Cahill

 

Ivanovic/Cuadrado (RWB) - Matic (DM) - Vidal (DM) - Moses/Willian (LWB)

 

Oscar/Fabergas (no 10)

 

Costa - Morata/Llorente

 

obviously need a striker to fit his system, Morata would fit the bill but I think Llorente would be an excellent signing, been lethal for Juventus and Sevilla, fairly cheap and a name Conte can trust. Vidal to marshall the midfield as a dream signing, plus the wing backs are sorted with Cuadrado and Victor Moses coming back from loan (Willian could play LWB but think Moses has more to offer defensively, need that mug Azpilicueta out the club). Terry will probably stay but Conte will want another option with experience in the prem, think Scott Dann would be perfect (English, solid season + cheap, could do what Cahill's done for us). sell Hazard/Pedro/Loftus-Cheek to raise funds

Clearly was. With the name of Marouane Chamakh and the suggestion of buying Scott Dann (!), I wonder who he supports.

lol the chamakh name is an injoke with some mates, I support Burton but Chelsea are my favourite prem team  :smile:

Vidal is no longer the top player he used to be so i wont be overexcited about him coming here. But i like Naingollan, he is like Fabregas but can defend.

Vidal is still an excellent player, as is Nainggolan. Either one of them would be exactly what we need in midfield but I think we also have players who can provide that dynamism we need at both ends of the pitch at the club already.

 

Matic could have something of a renaissance if he can be motivated and isn't restricted to being a holding midfielder, whilst I think Van Ginkel has everything needed to be a top box-to-box player. I'd like to see both given a chance whilst limited players like Mikel are shipped out.

I would prefer Matic to be restricted to be a holding midfielder, every time he wants to go forward he looks useless, he doesn't look like he has a clue what he is doing.

I think the issue is that he's neither one or the other. IMO he should be left in the holding role, protecting the defence. When used a both (or neither depending on your view) has made him underwhelming this season.

If we set up in a 433 next season he could easily be the holding MF in a midfield 3

I don't know if Conte will use a holding midfielder here though. Matic has had a bad season but I think he deserves another shot so long as there's no massive offers coming in for him.

 

He's not the most useless player I've seen going forward and he pops up with the odd goal too. I think he's got a dynamism about him that Conte might like.

to be a top defensive mid you have to have great positioning and reading of the game, matic just seems lost in regards to this at the moment. if it's a blip, great, if not then i don't see where he'll fit in.

???

With a name like Chamakh hes gotta be either Arsenal or West Ham fan no? 

Im going to guess Arsenal as he is proposing we play with Moses as a left wing back... Only a wenger fanboy would think its a good idea to not play proper defenders

yes he was arsenal, here he is at top of the page. his avatar is the same as the one here. sad prick.

apparently arsenal were interested in the same guy we are, that manolas, so was looking to see if there's any news on the arsenal forum about him and up popped the chamakh troll.

Anybody who includes the word "fanboy" in a username must be a bit of a prat!
