If Conte does not commit before then we are signing none of these players.I think this window is when i can see us focussing a lot on players with little time left on their contract. For example, Bastoni, Zaniolo N’Dicka and Skrinnier all of which have been on our radar in the past have contracts running out this coming summer or in 24. I would absolutely love us to go a get someone like Mudryk but i don't see it happening for the fee thats being quoted. But if you actually look down the list of players who's contracts are running beyond those already linked to us in the past there are some really interesting names. I certainly think we could bring in a number of quality players for relatively little if we focus on that market.
It's as much Paratici's call, as it is Conte's.If Conte does not commit before then we are signing none of these players.
That's the first we have seen "both sides have to agree to" - but it does not really change anything. Conte would always walk if he felt he could not win.
All parties have already agreed to this, that's why it's part of his contract already. As I say I don't think it would be the ideal way to proceed but it's not the doom an gloom of him being out of contract in the Summer some are playing on. That extra year was agreed by both parties because of the size of contract financially giving the club a get out if things went horribly wrong it wouldn't cost 4 years salary at £15mil to move him on. Conte being the principled man he is completely agreed with this.
This is what I'm still going on, not to say there won't be discussions between now and end of season.
Oh boy, Levy is backed into the corner. He is probably so happy that the fans have become rather toxic of late. Gives him an easy outcabinessence added: He didn't say there wouldn't be ANY signings. Just that it probably wouldn't be big money signings circa £50m. DL knows they have to make some signings. Conte's contract runs to summer 23 with a one year extension that both sides have to agree to.

Let's see , no way do we not strengthen In January.

We did get Bentancur for an incredible fee.But there is no point getting cheaper stop gaps, better off getting one top player than 3 medium players to fill the gaps.

Where Fabio earned his money?This is where Fabio has to earn his money.
We don't need to spend big money, it just needs to spent wisely (eg Kulu and Bentancour)
This is trotted out every window on our end.But there is no point getting cheaper stop gaps, better off getting one top player than 3 medium players to fill the gaps.

If anything, our transfer strategy has proven that chucking money at signings is far from any type of guarantee they'll be even decent signings.
What signing over 30m bar Romero (who's seemingly gone down a level since becoming permanent) has worked out for us so far in contrast to buys in the 15-30m bracket these last 10 years?
Why do people care so much about transfer fees when it's quite evident that it has little to do with the success of a transfer?
What worked for us in the past was buying smart and what will continue working for us in the future is buying smart.
Yep. A lot of fans don’t appear to analyse how the market actually works. No sense of understanding of availability and obtainability.This is trotted out every window on our end.

Always confused by the one year extension that both sides have to agree to bit. How is that different to having no option at all?cabinessence added: He didn't say there wouldn't be ANY signings.
