    GIbblue – Emanalo is always initially pictured with new signings, because he is the one who sits down with them to sign the contract. Conte has better things to do with his time, and as a conspiracy theory, this one really is a stretch! I am sure Conte will be pictured with him at some point at the training ground, and from the background (Conte first bought him into Italy squad) I would be confident Conte had a lot to do with his signing.

    here are strories breaking out now that the players that changed their mind about joining Chelsea did so cause they believed that Conte did not want them which is of course not a good atmosphere to have at any club. Could become a serious matter if it is true.

    As the liquidator rightly says Zappacosta was 100% a Conte signing.

    Having said that I’m not sure all!parties involved are singing from the same song sheet re transfers and that’s one of the things I think we should be looking at.

    Maybe I’m old fashioned but I don’t think anyone should be signing for the first team squad who doesn’t have the 100% approval of Conte or is a Conte choice which Zappacosta clearly was.

    Damn right conte would have approved zappa, I am convinced it would have been conte who was first to suggest zappa as a good option.

    I dont know what emenalo does but would hope he is responsible for identifying the promising younger players like de bruyne or djijjibodaffodil, but like nine I would hoqe all first team acquisitions have to be approved by first team coach.

    Its not old fashioned nine, you’re just being humble, its bloody rational and I can not conceive how it could work any other way, unless you have a clough/taylor thing going on which was special while it lasted, but they were a team. Emanalo could not bond with our managers like that because his job is safe regardless of results while the managers job is not.

    There are reports that Anromovic is unhappy with Emanalo and Marina and Co for the transfer window debacle and that he has apologised to Conte. I hope this is true and we can see the back of them soon. Give Conte what he deserves and stop cutting him off at the knees. Conte is the man to turn us into a real European force – not those bl**dy muppets that deserve to go.

    Gib, where did that come from mate be interested to read it. I think Roman has every right to have the hump and ask for a detailed explanation on what went on in this window.

    Is it really that far fetched to believe that some players linked with Chelsea are not wanted or liked by Conte…? Why should he have to accept players that he thinks are not suitable for the Club and/or his style of play. He proved himself last year and is fully entitled to have some input on the development of the squad as far as I can see

    Ignore all this rubbish about a swing in the power of London football to Spurs as well. If they really want Barkley then that sums up their ambition as far as I can tell. Yes, missing out on Llorente was bad (assuming that we really wanted him) but mistakes will always happen

    Still think we needed at least 1 if not 2 extra players to really make the squad solid in depth but we could still do a deal in January if required (albeit not the greatest time to get involved in the market)

    Am also reading today that Roman has asked for explanations as to what happened in the transfer market..? KTBFFH

    cfc1905 – Llorente has one thing in common with the other players who chose other clubs before us, and that is he would struggle to get in our first team. Of course he will struggle at Spurs as well but they were prepared to give him a two year contract with an option for an extra year, whereas we would not do that for a man of his age (rightly or wrongly), so I think that was the clincher. If a player of say, Hazard’s standing came on the market and had to choose between Chelsea and Spurs, assuming they have ambition to win trophies and faith in their own ability, I have no doubt they would come to Chelsea. The suggestion being made in the media that Spurs is more attractive to such a player is laughable in my opinion.

    the players we brought in are more than suitable and will be of benefit even though I dont think they two directors have done a particularly good job the way we went about everything, of more serious concern we are chasing our talented young players away by not giving them sufficient game time or opportunities and I know that is also irking Roman it was mentioned last season and many many fans if you follow social sites. While many may not make the grade we cannot say all are not capable.

    Liquidator – surely the option open to Llorente is little different to that at Spurs. He will surely start on the bench but at least at Chelsea he would have working with a manager he knows…? I guess the longer contract makes sense for a player of his age

    I also think these stories about lack of sell on value are not so far fetched and this could easily have been where the Club was in conflict with the manager. For me, it is not wrong to work to a guideline but each transfer should be taken in its own context and exceptions are always required. KTBFFH

    Totally agree with the liquidator I nearly fell out of my chair with laughter when Dominic Fyfield came out with his “players now favour Spurs to Chelsea on the back of Llorente going to Spurs.

    These guys are meant to be responsible journalist’s that capture all the facts and it is very well known that Chelsea only offer one year contracts to over 30’s even if you’re Captain,Leader, Legend and that Spurs offered Llorente a two year contract with a one year option which at 33 next month will take him pretty much to the end of us career and was a no brained for Llorente.

    Another example of the negative media bias against Chelsea which was picked up and re storied by all the usual suspects.

    I think that 1905 though makes a very good point there maybe should be exceptions and Llorente was a player that Conte clearly wanted and didn’t get.

    More concerning reports today with regards to our transfer strategy and that the reason Barkley walked away was because he couldn’t talk to Conte with Emenalo and Marina handling everything over the last couple of days of the window.

    Allegedly Barkley wanted a discussion re his role should he join Chelsea and Conte wasn’t available to him to discuss that even over the phone which gets the question whose signing was Barkley and did Conte not want him?

    I truly hope Roman has a good look as to how we’re managing our transfer business need we have to implement a policy that only players wanted by the Manager are signed for the first team squad.

    Llorente is a stop gap player to come on maybe in the last few minutes of a game or maybe if Kane is injured, probably Spurs only want him for one season.

    cfc1905 & 999 – Personally I do not like the one year contract only for over 30’s policy. It is dogmatic and takes no account of the fact that the physiology of one human being at a certain age, can be entirely different to another, regardless of the same training and fitness regime. I would prefer we had a more flexible and in my opinion sensible approach, but we are where we are with it, and as a supporter, there is nothing I can do about it, so have to accept it.

    There are a couple of points around the Barkley issue – firstly are we all taking Barton’s anecdotal hearsay as the gospel truth? I’m not saying he is lying, but it is only hearsay, and may have got twisted from one person to another – it certainly happens! Secondly, if it is true, I think you have to accept Conte didn’t really want him, as it would be pretty extraordinary of him to refuse to talk to Barkley or his representatives, if he did. As 999 says, should we then be going for targets the manager does not want?

    liquidator: for me I don’t think we should buy a player who is already over 30. We need to think long term.

    And while our transfer window has been chaotic, I think we still need to applaud our club not to be held ransom by other clubs asking for exorbitant price for their players?
    (van Dijk, Lukaku, Drinkwater 40m etc).

    And at the end: we ended up with a thin but relatively good squad.
    I don’t think that we have great buys, all 6 players we bought will help the team. My complain is why we let both Chalobah and RLC go.

    And also our failure to get a 3rd striker but we let Abraham go on loan and Solanke go to Liverpool.

    aindro – For me its a case of needs must. Given the relatively young age of the squad as a whole, I think we can carry the odd 31 year old, and if it provides decent cover for a season or two, and helps us bring more trophies in, then that is all that matters to me. But I agree we should not overload with senior players. My comment on one year contracts applies more to existing players than new players. For example, it would be a shame to lose Luiz who has just turned 30 merely to a dogmatic position if, I don’t know, Everton or Juventus were to come in and offer him three years to our one when his contract is next up.

    As when you and I last exchanged views on this subject, really I think we are only short on cover at LWB, and maybe a third striker option, but I am not too bothered about that if we are going to play one up top all season. Everywhere else I think we are more than adequately covered. LWB is definitely a concern, but its only our opinions though, isn’t it? The reality will unfold and we will see if either or both of us are right in the coming months!

    liquidator, yes I agree, it seems to me too that we now have an adequate squad. Still thin compared to other teams, but we’re not that bad. And from one of posters in another thread: Conte does not seem to like a big squad.

    Concerning LWB: is Baba Rahman included in our squad? I posted on the other thread that I saw Baba’s name on the Chelsea official website.

    Aindro, as per my post on the other thread no Baba mate he is training with the first team squad but by inc Costa in the PL squad we’re at our limit of 17 overseas players.

    2 players per position should see us through until Jan supplemented by the Academy/development players too.

    We didnt let Solanke go to Liverpool we were powerless to stop him he refused our offers of a new contract and he exeecised his right to leave on a free. Tammy will gain more playing week in week out at Swansea that sitting on our bench

    Amazing how things can morph into entirely different situations or issues. Maybe Contes phone was off, on silent or his battery had died. Who knows. Maybe Barkley’s rep/agent or Barkley himself tried to contact Conte a couple of times and because Conte wasn’t available at that time, it’s now assumed he deliberately snubbed Barkley. Hilarious. If they had wanted to get hold of Conte badly enough, they could have. Kind of shows that Barkley wasn’t really that committed to joining in the first place.
