There's clearly an element of truth in it. Perhaps as the Champions of FFP they've given him a champions of FFP transfer budget. Isn't that what sent Mourinho loopy after he won his final title with Chelsea?

There is definitely some truth in it. More and more sources are spinning the story now. It's clearly not as bad as the media are making out but somethings going on.

Roman is getting bored? doesn't fancy chucking any more billions at his hobby? Who knows, but I bet Conte is a ****er to do business with.
 
Everton are going spend crazy, i think they have already 'sold' Lukaku....80 mill i reckon to mug off Chelsea.

I dont think Conte wants Lukaku, Roman does as Roman wants.
 
Not quite. It means that Twitter has verified that they are who they say they are. I could set myself up as John Terry and you couldn't be sure I wasn't who I said I was until they started verifying accounts of celebrities.

Thinking about it you're right. I haven't been on Twitter for about 4 years (since I got Matth [HASHTAG]#burn[/HASHTAG] and he blocked me <laugh>).

But yeah twitter verify that the account is actually the person they claim to be. So for example the Sky Italia source clearly works for Sky as Sky would have sent verification to Twitter.

I think!

That's actually the most likely scenario.

I think it could be true too. If you look at the story underneath it gives similar examples from Ancelotti's time and Mourinho's time. I do think the squad is a little thin for CL - 15 top players is enough for PL and domestic cups, but midweek games take a toll.

Mourinho spent £80m the summer after he won his first title.....and won his second title....?

This is also what i think is happening.
Jose went through similar **** with Roman over Shevchenko.
Jose wanted Eto'o, Roman insisted on Sheva........
 
His final title with Chelsea. Who did he get to sign after he won his final title with Chelsea?
Yeah for some reason I thought you said "first title" instead of final.

I have to agree with Conte.

Lukaku is not a Conte type of player. Having paid big money for him, he will be expected to play. Conte scratching his fake hair at fitting him in and trying to turn him into a player he could have just gone and purchased.

Conte will be pissed. Another 'tools down' season coming up from Hazard and Co maybe.
