Well Bastoni certainly needs to be in England ahead of the game on Saturday. Chance for Daniel to save on the airfare

This sense of ambition is so bloody refreshing.. honestly love to hear this.

I don't know if I'm coming or going, but I'm enjoying this ride

Feels like peak Paratici as we've been told before. Deals/talks lined up for Bastoni, Pau Torres, Botman, Lenglet etc and ready to pull the trigger.

Your coming lol ?

Hopefully Inter don't use our aggression against us to try and eek a little bit extra out of the deal and we can get it done in the next week or so. Would be nice for the player to enjoy a break from playing without stressing over a potential move.

This is what I actually like about the Eriksen link. I think it gives us more tactical flexibility. He knows how to play the advanced role in a Conte 3-5-2. This could be a interesting tactical option we simply didn't have last season. Thinking back to the Brighton and Brentford games last season they really dominated us in midfield. I think having the Eriksen option (potentially moving Deki to RWB to accommodate this) would have given us more chance at pinning them back to the edge of their own area and getting us more chances. We actually had no shots on target in either game largely because we simply couldn't get into their final third consistently enough.

You can say we never used the position under Conte, but is that through choice or a lack of options in the current squad?

I think Eriksen gives us a ton of tactical options and is a genuine gamechanger off the bench too.

sorry if i am being stupid but who is Deki??

It's Dejan Kulusevski's nickname.

Kulusevski

We had him during his peak years, which was also in a period of weak competition, and it still wasn't enough. He also plays in the hole, a position we haven't used under Conte.

Need an upgrade on Hojbjerg at the very least. We're not even going to come close to City if he's a starter in midfield.

He can play in the hole, it's not his primary position. Dele played there when he was with us. He largely played tucked in on the right. Under Conte he played initially as a 10 behind Lauturo and Lukau and didn't do very well there and dropped into midfield. He played in midfield for Brentford this season.

 

[Trix]

Bastards to deal with but we are so confident we are going in very aggressive for him contes no 1 target

Yep, and I'll just add I've had it confirmed once again and this time almost from the horses mouth, that Conte spoke to him weeks ago(and has done since) and the player back then had told Conte he would like to come if a deal could be sorted. All this "doesn't want to leave stuff" has been manipulated from him saying he was happy to stay at Inter. Him being happy to stay doesn not mean he would not leave if the right opportunity was there for him.
