That must be the report that I heard that Paratici and Conte had AGREED on the targets of Skrinier and Vlohovic ,, not that the club had agreed the transfers .
Journo claims Conte gets who he wants...

We do worry. We actually have competent management now. How the actual dynamics work is interesting but they have worked together before, the nuances aren't that important.
Let 'em do their thang.

No but he turned Moses into a decent RWB so he has something about him.
Like you I want to rebuild the 1st 11 with players from the ages of 20-25.

Moses did was show his qualities in pre-season, and was already owned by the club. Conte didn't buy him from abroad but gave him a chance after being loaned out.
The craziest thing is that Conte joined in Apr 16 and sold Salah in the summer before his league winning season. It could have been Hazard, Costa, Salah in that line-up as a front 3.

That's nearly as bad as old Harry saying Suarez would never make it in the Premier league. Aha
I did laugh...now we're after another player according to the Spanish press, who was also burnt out by the PL, and has never ever recovered his form...:

Antonio Conte turns down offer to sign ex-Chelsea star Eden Hazard for Tottenham
Metro Sport ReporterThursday 11 Nov 2021 12:58 pm
Antonio Conte has turned down Daniel Levy’s offer to sign Eden Hazard for Tottenham, according to reports in Spain.
Conte has been promised funds to improve his squad in the January transfer window with Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic understood to be on the Italian’s shortlist.
Hazard, meanwhile, has struggled to make an impact at Real Madrid since his £88.5 million move from Chelsea in 2019.
Carlo Ancelotti has already indicated that he would not stand in Hazard’s way if he did want to leave Madrid in the January transfer window.
Newcastle United and Chelsea have both been linked with a move for Hazard, but El Chiringuito now claims that Tottenham have also been monitoring the Belgium international’s situation at Madrid.
It’s claimed that Levy is keen on the idea of bringing Hazard to Tottenham, however, Conte is not supportive of the move as he was unhappy with the 30-year-old’s effort levels during their time together at Chelsea.
Instead, Conte has suggested to Levy that he makes a push to bring Gareth Bale back to Spurs.
‘Daniel Levy would like to take a Real Madrid player who is always injured,’ Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda told El Chiringuito.
‘He wanted to sign Eden Hazard, but Conte has told him ‘no’ because he knows him from when he trained at Chelsea and says that he has little intensity and that he is not a very hard worker.
‘The most striking thing is the player that Conte has asked Levy to take him to London. He is Gareth Bale.
‘Bale ends his contract at the end of the season, but in winter he would not be free.’
Hazard, who was part of Conte’s side which won the Premier League title in 2017, later admitted that he was unhappy with the Italian’s ‘rigid’ reign.
‘When you meet Italian coaches like I did you are less happy,’ said the Belgian.
‘They are more rigid and repetitive. You find pleasure in victory. I spent three years with Italian coaches so to rediscover this pleasure again makes me happy.’
If Antonio is thinking that Hazard and Bale are the players who can get us into cl and win a trophy then I am really worried. RM would have to pay there wages and give us a fee for taking them. I
Dont worry, he's not.
Anything transfer-wise going on now, is a continuation of things from before. There hasn't been any developed plans to target any specific players that Conte may want, yet. Regardless of the reports, the man is totally concerned & more than busy enough evaluating the squad he currently has. Until that is done, and he knows what the actual deal with his players is, then they'll be looking to reinforce or replace the positions that need it. Anything stating otherwise it bs.
now, FAbio is workin like a horse, and he knows his friend well, and no doubt they'd be on the same page generally. So some of Fabio's dealing will run right in line with expected Conte targets.
Hazard & Bale are not the kind of players Fabio is looking at...... Until the last second...
....but, Conte may decide he does have everything he needs. STrAngEr tHiNGs......
Gonna get an experienced top-class CB tho, that's a given.

What do you make of Kieran Maguire's figures on how much cash we have to spend before falling foul of FFP?

Personally I think FFP will be toothless for a few years.
The existing system is not fit for purpose according to UEFA themselves and the new system won't be introduced until the end of the year at the earliest. Given how long it will take to bed this system in and to allow the clubs time to make the necessary financial adjustments, I can't see it being fully operational for 4 or 5 years.

On further reading I notice it was 2010-2020 he based the numbers off so I assume it made a better headline if they worked it out pre-covid?

Yup, just mentioned it on the coaching appointments thread. I had not realised the links they had already.

I still maintain my belief that the bellends we have in the dressing room dont have what it takes to win anything significant. Doesn't matter who is in charge.

If Levy backs Conte with money we could win something.

It was actually David Pleat who was our overseas head of scouting at the time - and had been sent to have a detailed look before we made a bid - Harry really wanted him, but Pleat told Levy," he'd never make it in the PL as he's too slight!"...Harry was apoplectic - I asked him about all this and other stuff after golf do a while back and even then, years later he almost exploded lol!
Pleat and Harry never got on after that.

Ah that's a shame, it was on my list of reasons to rationally dislike Sherwood. Still a couple of pages long mind...
