On Conte, am told he would be, er, lukewarm re Arsenal - which probably says more about club right now. Although seems United is only English club he’d go for now

Quote from the article:

"Highly pertinent to all of that, though, is the type of club Arsenal now are and what they see themselves as. The growing feeling around Europe is that they are only a “super club” in name. The starting XI in the opening two games of the season would speak to that. They just don't have the financial power of Chelsea, or the attractiveness of Liverpool.

It is similarly indicative that those close to Antonio Conte insist he has little interest in taking over. He just doesn't think he could compete with the team as it is."

Shows our demise that we are not that attractive anymore, not sure why I’m shocked with such comments but still hurts the state we’ve been in for so long now with no signs of improvement.

Doesn't mean anything. Wenger got 75 points in 16/17 and only finished 5th.

He never finished 8th or 7th

It means Wenger's done at this level. All his trophies and innovation are his legacy but not representative of what he can offer as a man in his mid 70s.

Defo would do better than Arteta for the rest of this season

While there may be truth to this (Conte's lack of interest), be aware that Delaney is a huge shit-stirrer.

Precisely, so why go for a guy that's been retired 3 years?

Nah Conte will come. He was gonna take over spurs if not for levy bulking at his 100m+ transfer kitty.

He'll come here if we promise to back with 100m+ and will get the club back competing.

Its hilarious how the club rejected allegri who was happy to take over as long as we gave him 100m to reshape the squad and instead went for Emery and now arteta plus 400m+ spending later are even shittier than where Wenger left us.

Where is the proof that we approached Allegri or that he wanted to come?

Conte is not going to take over this flaming pile of rubble on the off chance that we give him a huge budget a year from now.

I agree that Conte would easily join Arsenal if we offered him the same salary as Klopp, or thereabouts. The latter earns around £15m a year. Granit Xhaka earns anywhere between £6-8m a year. Willian earns £6m+ a year.

Paying Conte £15m is a no-brainer. If we do so, he'd be game. It's not like Arsenal haven't been spending money either. We've splashed £420m since Wenger departed excluding loan and signing-on fees. Arteta alone has spent in excess of £200m.

Conte and £200m would be a different beast altogether.


Aniym, Allegri's case is different. He turned down Real Madrid to join Juve again. He never wanted to leave Juve. His issue was that he didn't want them to sign Cristiano the first time around. That spiralled across and created complications between him and the board.

Conte is different. He takes up projects. All the board has to do is back him. Sure, he demands certain players. Arteta has been throwing his weight around at Arsenal too. He did get to sign his players whether that was Willian, Thomas, or White. He dumped Martínez. He ostracized Ozil, Saliba, and Guendouzi. He offered Auba that whopping contract.

It's not like the club hasn't backed him. Conte would demand similar support except this time a proven manager and a relentless winner would be doing the talking.

At least with Conte we wouldn't be propping up the wrong end of the table.

Angelito, our standing as a club is the lowest it's ever been. Dead last. This isn't a project, it's Afghanistan. Conte is a short term guy, he knows that. He js not going going to be satisfied with a Top 4 run in 2 years' time. I don't see him sticking around in England longer than that.

Conte aside, any manager of repute is going to stay far away until we give Edu the boot as well.

use google, there's plenty of articles Here go trawl- https://bfy.tw/RY5u

also Conte will come he'll blast half the squad out of colney and demand players. Kroenke just has to spend the doe for conte's players and then watch us rise back up next season.

This season is alrdy dead.
