Yes I know. I mean they looked like CFs we could practically sign this window.

This has been said a few times in here already, with people views on why it might not be the case...

Conte doesn't use a creative 10 doesn't mean we can pile 3 defensive minded bodies in midfield. Conte still used players like Eriksen and Fabregas in his mid 3.

If he had that option he'd likely use it. Barella, Eriksen, and Fabregas all added goals, assists, and creativity. It wouldn't hurt us to have one as an option.

Sounds like money saved on all sides then - and the negative nellies got to be negative all whilst he was still on Fiorentina's books. An excellent result.Poor Amrabat got a complete slating on here, never even joined
I don't think today's even warmed up yet.

I know this isn’t the ideal thread ,but just by way of response, I’m really not sure where this myth has come from.
Yes, he likes functional hardworking midfielders, but that doesn’t mean he actively wants a midfield completely lacking real ball players or creativity.
At inter the midfield three of Brozovic Eriksen and Barella was exceptionally technical, with a range of passing styles and a real ability to chip in with goals . At Chelsea Fabregas was a key player after taking a little while to settle into the system. This idea that he doesn’t like technical midfield players is completely unfounded imo.
Also, it’s all well and good saying creativity should instead come from the WBs , but if that’s the case then why haven’t we upgraded on Emerson or Doherty, neither of whom are good enough?

Looks more like we believe Tanguy will regain his form and confidence back in France and we are still open to the idea of him under Conte.€65m?????
No way Lyon activates that

Yeah we’re done for incomings aren’t we, concentrating on outs.
Happy with the 2 incomings though.

If we are going 343 we will probably see 2 hard working cm's rather than creative.
He could play Kulusevski as one of the 3. We will just need to see

engage brain, at least.
Thanks to all the ITK,'s and mods. Very positive stuff that we may move dele,tanguy & Gio out today. This sends a message out to the squad that Conte will not tolerate players he doesn't want or he believes he cannot trust. This will be a boost to squad morale overall in my opinion - work hard and he will back you, don't and you are gone. Also shows a big sign the club are backing AC, these 3 should be in theory our starting midfield - yet all are being bombed out. COYS

Can't see RWB happening, otherwise surely we would have looked to move on Doherty. Pretty clear Traore was more Paratici than Conte so maybe he is happy to stick for now, and target a real upgrade the summer.
Pretty glad the Amrabat move was just a back-up, (also glad the player saves some face too, with the old he won't be allowed to leave this late announcement).
If we get rid of Ndombele, Lo Celso and Dele I think that would be fantastic and a sign that we really are finally listening to the manager. Mourinho and Poch were let down by the club who refused to take a hit on the players causing problems. You just can't work like that when the team mentality and culture is everything.
I really have no problem if we don't bring more numbers in, we are in two less competitions for the remainder of the season and have the squad to cope. Imagine how refreshing it will be to approach the all important summer window with the dead-wood already moved on. Hell, we might even do some early business...

Bentacur and Kulu are creative in that position. Bentacur is best in a 3
