Conte on Van Djik...

But the Chelsea boss has said that every club who wants Van Dijk should do their best to compete with runaway leaders City to ensure Pep Guardiola's side don't end up signing another of the league's top players.

"Every team, every club, must pay great attention," Conte said.

"Because if a club like Manchester City takes all the best [players], it will be very difficult for us to fight. Not only in England but in Europe

We should have signed a cb in the summer. Any that we sign now, it's touch & go they will be behind everyone in understanding Pep's style.

VVD has so far gone through his career without playing for a top manager, or in a top side, yet top managers, like Klopp, Conte & maybe Pep, want to sign him, for top sides. That should tell people all they need to know.

If we sign him, it's because Pep thinks he can be taught.

If he can be, then he could easily become better than any of our current cbs as he has more raw material to work with, a lot more.

The questions are fitness (he isn't back to his best yet) & if he has the right brain for the job.

There are no questions re ability.
 

Why's the Italian Roy Cropper sticking his nose into our transfer business. Is he really that terrified that we are going to dominate the English game that he's trying to stop teams doing business with us. Through fear of his own inadequacies he appears to be rallying for teams to either bid for our targets or to simply not do business with us.
 
Laporte can sod off. Had his chance. Didn’t want to come here. Fuck him.
Don’t understand the anti-VVD sentiment. He has that most precious of Pep ingredients, effortless comfort in possession. You don’t think Pep can mould him into a stand out performer like Stones? I do
 
Not sure why Conte is speaking about him, unless a deal is in place and they tried to get him then been told he's coming here instead. Bit like when clubs asked about Mendy but we'd pretty much done the deal?
