When does he arrive in London? Tomorrow or Tues

 

Tomorrow's his first day on the job. Will probably meet the media then as well seeing as it's his first day.

no press until post match of the first preseason game according to dan levene

Yeah that's what i heard. Well it's 9.20am. I wonder how Conte is settling in.

Do you think he's found the fridge to put his sandwiches in?

That's disappointing, was looking forward to hearing him speak English.

Zola speaking of Conte. Also bringing out the fact it might be harder to lure big players without CL. Pogba's, Griezmann's etc will look elsewhere. However we can lure good young guys like Batchuayi.

Sounds a bit sordid all this luring. Are we meeting them at Kings Cross?

Is it winter? Concerned about woolly hat and gloves in July FFS

Really strange thing to get upset about

Hey global warming is a real thing

Loads of people wear layers to get in better shape...not sure it really helps but you'll see long sleeves and stockings in training sessions often.  I think that's Oscar too...I wonder what the plans are with him this summer.  I could see him sticking it out for one more season...but not sure where he'd play.  Wing? Mid?  If we don't play a true 10 I'm not sure there is room for him in the squad unless he's ok with being a rotation player.  

I think Conte will get along very well with everyone. Interesting thing is to see how we will setup. 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 3-5-2 or something completely different. Football experts always say it doesn't really matter what the formation is but as strikers come in our case it is pretty important to know before the season starts.

They're probably trying to shed any excess water weight, some people carry up to 10 pounds of water weight on them after a brief training layoff, and that could make a huge difference to their fitness carrying that around. If that's not the case, they are all players from warm climates there, it's not exactly mediterranean in this part of the world at the minute.

I don't know, i've always seen oscar as more of an 8 than a 10 really, he's got good energy and isn't afraid of a tackle, I could see him to well in a 3 man midfield. He plays on the right of a 3 man midfield for brazil and he always looks much better for them than he does for us. Let's see if Conte can get the best out of him, we know he's talented and quality when he's at his best, just needs consistency

He will be leading his first training session tomorrow.

 

Very excited to see him finally arrive!

I think the reasoning behind his choice of attire is partly down to the skiing facility we now have at Cobham. That must explain where he goes from about November onwards.

 

He's here

Let the reign of Don Conte commence!

Nice picture of him standing outside a cash machine. What an exclusive.
