On the subject of Conte, CaughtOffside have alleged that the reason we passed on Conte in the summer is because he and his agent Federico Pastorello were taking bungs when in charge of Chelsea, with their signing of Emerson Palmieri being specifically mentioned as a deal where this was taking place

If they don't post a retraction by Friday, it's fair to assume that they're onto something

Why past Friday?
(Genuine question btw rather than a late night @Diego ism <whistle>)

The simple reason is that, given the article was doing the rounds last night, that means that it's up to Conte to unleash his lawyers - and if the article is still up on Friday, that means and his agent have kept their lawyers on a leash because they know that at best the Streisand Effect will come into play, at worse they'd demand a retraction and lose when the evidence gets held in front of them

So I'm assuming these are legal/statutory timelines?

More a case of response

Given both Conte and his agent have been accused of taking bungs on transfer deals, which is a serious allegation to make, that would have him on the phone to his lawyers immediately and they would respond PDQ

So if there is no retraction up on Friday, that means he held off contacting his lawyers, and given the seriousness of the allegation there is only one conclusion

So out of the midfield of Giggs, Scholes, Keane and Beckham, the uncontroversial one is Keane?
That's... different.

I read it twice because i couldn't believe the stupidity of the man, nobody has been "kicked out" except Dan James who unfortunately was never going to make it.

Why would anyone have to point out to you that Varane is better than Axel? you put yourself up as the font of all football knowledge.

I don't do **** like twatter so maybe you could put him right for me.
Axel is still in the squad (out on loan)
Pellistri is still in the squad (out on loan)
Cavani and Ronaldo are strikers, Sancho isn't


Thanks in advance

Greenwood looks like a real talent. Does he play through the middle or is he yet another one who prefers cutting in from out wide?
