People keep referencing what he did at Inter and Juve, yet Conte himself has said the Prem is very different to other leagues and requires different skill sets and tactical approach. I'm sure we will play 3-5-2 from time to time but not enough to go big for a dedicated AM imo.He isn't an idiot but while he's had success with 3-4-3 he's had far more success with 3-5-2.
You know more than most about our transfer plans but I'd be very surprised if there aren't plans afoot to bring in an AM like Barella or to figure out who can already do it.
He played 352 with Winks as the dm and it worked (albeit against Leicester) so it's definitely an option for him. I'd imagine it's something he'd prefer to do if he can but he'll need the personel to do it.
