Can only hope Levy goes against type and buys some players without turning the whole window into a a game of chicken as usual. And takes massive hits on all the dross.

So?
Lo Celso/Alli/Ndombele are wasters - we need them gone and the money in to reinvest.

I'm sorry but if this bunch of feckless, useless bottling clams that keep moaning about not winning trophies can't motivate themselves then they can fudge right off.
Loom at teams that have knocked us out of the cups this year, vitesse and boro and beaten by mura ffs.

I don't think we'll give him the tools.... We've already got a bunch of players on the never-never to pay for, our debt is huge and our revenue isn't really growing due to us becoming a less relevant European club.

Lack of rotation coming back to bite us imo.
Looked to me like the players were trying, just didn't have the energy in them.
Short on options, but not a complete lack of options.
I guess that's Conte and part of why he's struggled in Europe in the past.

Agree
But then he has to be willing to play some of the kids if there good enough

Really gone back to the 90s where seasons are finished by March.

Need one of Skipp or Bentancur back for Monday or we’ll be fudged again. It is unlucky them both injured.

100%
Fans need to look a bit deeper at his records
The guys a winner but tends to focus on one competition from February as he hasn’t got the legs for anything else in his team

Ain't much good there are they

I’m not sure they are - losing Skippy for longer than expected then Bent for 3 weeks just put pressure on the squad.
When there's stuff to play for still it'd be a good idea to be pragmatic in your approach is what i would say here, especially when you're on a short contract and short term results are of higher importance than if you're on a long term deal.

I agree except he won't get the tools mate.

You may be right in which case, we have no business appointing top managers.
I'm slightly optimistic (I know, I know) listening to Simon Jordan. He seems to have some sort of inside info and I've heard him say "if you think Daniel is appointing Conte and not giving him the tools he wants, you're mad. Daniel knows what's needed and knows there was no point getting Conte if he doesn't back him". He did caveat that by saying it might not be huge money but it would be the players Conte wanted.
Guess we'll have the 2022 equivalent of Ryan Nelson and Louis Saha so...
Can see this being a very important summer for the owners . We will know where we are heading come deadline day . The fan base is so polarised at the minute and it’s just getting uglier.
He's won trophies wherever he's gone and that doesn't happen without being a top manager and knowing tactics inside out.
The issues that we have is around players and not the manager. Our midfield is totally brick. PEH and Winks are lower premier league players at best and not good enough for where we want to be. We've also other areas that need strengthening, LCB, RWB and a goalkeeper (can possibly get away with Lloris for another season). So that means 4-5 players at least.
Stick with the players that Conte sees being here long term and the system he's going to use and bed them in. Take the pain for the rest of the season and be in a better position for next season.

Let's be honest. He won't be here in two years. hope the manager we hire then likes three at the back.

I think he is using these games as tests, see who is up for it and who isn't.
Also think he intends to hang around so isn't in a hurry, he probably knew after the conference exit this season is a write off.

I agree.
