Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Conte was backed 100% to the hilt. Bar Spence, every single player he signed, he wanted. He also said it could not be done in one window, it needs two or three windows to get his team sorted. We got them in early like he wanted. No reason why he hasn't extended his contract by now. (other than he wants easier success without the build and is holding out for a bigger team)
I don't remember people saying or thinking it was an average window when we signed these players. Quite the opposite. We signed some real talent. Just because they haven't all feature on a regular basis yet, doesn't mean they are average. Conte is notorious for wanting his players up to his standard before he lets them loose. Of course RWB is our biggest weakness now, no doubt we will have that covered in Jan or in the summer. But to be fair, if we had of covered RWB people would moan that we didn't have another position done. We were never going to file every single position in the summer window, but we made a bloody good start.
Between "forever" and "January" they've covered every base possible.
In your opinion. But clearly not in the opinion of Conte and Paratici otherwise they would have signed a first-team ready player, rather than a talented youngster for the future.
