because Conte might use 3-5-2, they need at least 3 proven striker..

Morata is great, but not for that price..but some rumors even go further and claim that we already agreed on personal terms with Morata..the only stumbling block is the price we need to pay to Real.

I think we will get one more CB and CM..

4 signings.. 2 Strikers, 1 Central Midfielder/Enforcer and 1 Center Back.

nah, Remy rumored to be out and Traore will be part of the 4 strikers..Costa, Batshuayi, New Striker and Traore.

nope, he will be in the midfielder 3-5-2

------------GK----------
--------CB,CB,CB------
-----RW,DM,DM,,LW---
----------Hazard-------
---------ST---ST-------

yap, i know technically it is 3-4-1-2

but they are one of 3-5-2 variations..because most of the time AM will drop on the same level as the DMs and midfielders.

iinm he will start tomorrow.

lol, football manager on vacation, always on the phone working on transfer..

for me it looks simple and neat..nothing fancy..

but if you compared with MU home kit, ours is better..half2 is freaking weird..

chelsea's home kit 12/13 was the best kit in recent years..nothing can be compared with that.

if no big offer, prefer we keep him.

i think we will see a more progressive transfer period after the first friendly match.

hopefully conte can find a few gems in our current loan army and youngsters..who know we might see new faces in the first team.

conte so far pr wise is brilliant, calm, calculated and confident.

it was a good pre-season, a little bit competitive than usual but still a great fixtures.

Cesc's tackle was bad, and deservedly worth the red card. Hopefully the opponent is alright.

a few positive things.

Cesc fabregas! yap, despite the red card he is the most improved player and fit well with Conte's tactics by playing the 'Pirlo' role.

Ola Aina! he might be challenging Iva for RB spot.

Defensive line! we are much more organized and compact.

Team spirit! Improving every matches.

Interception! We are winning more balls in the middle of the park and reduce the need to defend in our final third.

Depth! we were playing without a few important key players.

a few negative things.

Passing! we need to improve on this aspect, we were giving away balls recklessly.

Attack as a unit! Our defenders and midfielders not mobile enough to support our attacking department when moving forward.

RLC's Offside trap! yap, he need to improve on this if he wants to play as striker.

Matic! He still not up to standard, maybe still adapting to the tactic.

he wants to play as striker and conte supporting it. I think he will still be AM/CM.

maybe we will see a variation of 4-4-2 defending and 4-2-4 attacking from conte.

i belip that koulibaly is coming, that is why we are focusing on striker now..

well we can lose all pre-season game as long as we perform and win games during the real fixtures. im all good with that. hahaha

crazy if you take a look at the numbers only, but we might sell oscar to fund the move..plus the discount because everton havent paid fully..might drop the actual money we need to spend considerably.

trip down memory lane.

tissues please.

I still like Batshuayi a lot, his movement was great especially beating the last defensive line.

as for Traore, he should be our 3rd choice striker, with the way he performed so far I dont think we need to sign another striker.

Matic and Kante overlapping role, I dont like this. They were almost competing on the pitch to get the ball.

Aina is good, but you can see a couple of times that he struggled a little bit when dealing with a much more experienced player. I still prefer him over Iva atm.

I hope that we can see Conte's first 11 against Bremen.

they pressed too high leaving the back wide open for costa.
