As many players as he did not like.
That's my point exactly. Not every coach is afforded such luxury.
Imagine someone saying, Sanchez is Conte's preferred signing at Inter. There are obviously better players than Sanchez in other clubs, but Sanchez was signed and he has to work with what is available..

You are trying too hard.

I said this season is a foregone conclusion.

That City will win it with more gap than last season.
Same way u told us " Angels have to play for Tottenham " in order for them to beat Man city to the Semifinals.

Why did Pelle not win the league when he signed those players?

Did Conte not ship his own out?
How many players did Conte ship out and replace b4 he won the league compared to Pep?

I know thinking is not something some of you do often so just compare what you are saying with what I am saying.

14/15 Chelsea won the league. The very next season they finished 10th. They could not have become so bad in 1 season. So they fired the manager and Conte took them back to their level. Fine.

13/14 City were 1st. 14/15 2nd. 15/16 4th. So they fired the manager. Pep took them back to 3rd (a level higher) then 1st, 1st and 1st.

What was Conte achieving in the UCL at the same time btw?
Lies.

Okay he did not spend a country's budget.

So who bought Mangala? Fernando? Xavi Garcia? KdB? Raheem? Otamemdi? Bony?
He had to ship the majority of them out and get his own players in typical pint and kill fashion

Lies. City won the league twice before Pep. Chelsea had won it 4 times before Pep. So which team had a solid foundation?

In fact Chelsea had won the league more recently than City so Conte's job was easier.

Pelle was 1- 2- 4 in the league.

Pep is 3-1-1-(1) come May 2020
Lol. Seriously? grin grin grin

U do know Chelsea were in a relegation battle the Christmas b4 Conte's arrival right?

Pep took charge of a team that were good enough to get to the champions league semi's and he couldn't do jack with them.
Conte took charge of a team that flirted with relegation the season b4 and made them league winners, same way Ranieri took a team that were almost relegated the season b4 and made them league winners..

Of course, this is a lie.

In fact, back to back Pelle did not get passed the second round of the UCL his first 2 seasons and he won the league in his first attempt and then later got to the semis without spending some African countries their budget .

Don't bring arsenal into this. We were useless then. The defending champions getting trashed 6:0 without a single shot on target(could be wrong) is a disgrace and a pounding. It's like Lexington steel drilling abella danger.

3:1 is not spanking. 6:0 is bitch slapping,deep throatting and choking. cheesy
3-1 at ur home when all the goals were scored by Chelsea is spanking.

6-0 away from home is normal. Arsenal collected 6 at Stamford Bridge few years ago and no one rushes to bring it up in arguments..

Mr Man sit on one fence. You have already said you didn't dare pep to come and win the premier League so why still write Epistles upon Epistles when raum is referring to those who dared him.
I'm trying to force the fact that "winning a local trophy meant for the likes of Ranieri, Pellegrini and Conte is nothing special" down his throat.
Many others have done that while spending way way less.

That was the same one they dared Pep to come and prove himself and he won it with points no one in the history of the EPL has ever made
U forgot to add after spending some African countries budget.
Ranieri won the league with a team that was relegation bound, Pellegrini won it in his 1st attempt and got to the semi's the next season while Pep is yet to get past the quarters. Got knocked out by Bakayoko the other year and then a Tottenham team that were only sure of a 4th place finish on week 37.

But couldnt make it out of the CL groups losing to Galatasaray
Same way Pep has been unable to get past the quarter finals of the champions league with thesame team dat made the semi's a year b4 his arrival.

Just so u know, Conte did not inherit a squad that made the champions league semi's the season b4..

Pellegrini left City at 4th position is all that matters, Pep inherited a team that was 4th in the league.
Guardiola inherited a team that were a game away from the Champions league finals, and has been unable to get them past the quarter finals, that's all that matters.

Note: He had to spend some countries budget and overhaul the squad b4 he was able to win thesame local league Pellegrini won in his first attempt..

Juve are kings of Serie A before Conte joined. It was calcicopoli that made them take away Juves titles and demoted them, Juve came back and naturally will go back to their position since their major challenger like AC Milan are bankrupt
Conte laid the foundations for 8(and counting) consecutive Serie A titles, shikina.

Pellegrini stopped at 4th position with 66 points, Pep took them to 3rd, 1st and 1st
Pellegrini joined Manchester City in the summer of 2013 and led them to a Premier League and League Cup double in his first season and took them to the semis of the champions league the next season while Guardiola couldn't win a spoon in his first season.

He had to bring his own XI b4 he could win thesame league Pellegrini won in his first attempt.
He is yet to reach the heights Pellegrini attained at City, just so u know.
Let him keep battling for local trophies..

Juventus has won the Serie A 35 times, the next team has won 18 times, remove the ones won by Conte and still tell the difference. Before Conte became a coach Juventus was leading everyone with a big gap

Let Conte win the Serie A since he got his desired players now and no excuse of Morata anymore.
Leading everyone is different from not giving anyone else a sniff at the league title.

B4 Conte, winning the league was not 100% certain for Juve. Juve had 27 titles b4 Conte turned the Italian league to Juveleague by setting the foundation for total domestic dominance.
because of those foundations he set, Juve are on course to win 10 straight Scudettos..

Sure you will deny that you didnt dare him because he disgraced the EPL back to back
Conte disgraced the EPL in his first attempt with Matic, Alonso and Moses as key players. Ranieri disgraced EPL by using a team that was involved in relegation battle the previous season to win the league.
Guardiola only continued from where Pellegrini stopped, nothing more. He is yet to reach the heights Pellegrini reached at City sef. Pellegrini took thesame team Pep couldn't work with to the Champions league semis.

A team who made the final is better than one who got kncoked out of the groups by Galatasaray.

Lies, Juventus has always dominated Italian league even before Conte became a player. Go and check the number of titles won by Juve and the next team and tell us if thats Contes work

let him go do the same at Inter.

Shebi you said Conte works with what he has, he got Lukaku Sanchez Godin he needs to perform the miracle with them
Italian was never a one team league. Conte's Juve set the path for the total league dominance Juve are enjoying now.

So, u expect Conte to perform miracles with Lukaku, Sanchez(6 goals+assists previous season) and an ageing Godin, but Pep had to chase very good players that were already winning the league in previous seasons and made champions league semis the season b4 out and bring his own players b4 he was able to win even a local trophy that dem local coaches were already winning, ehn?

That shows how high u rate Conte.

Below are sample
I did not dare him just so u know. Man city were a good team that had been winning the league in previous seasons and made it to the semis of the champions league the season b4 he came.
Winning the league with Man city is something Mancini and Pellegrini were doing even with their eyes close and less investments, so winning the league does not make him any better than Mancini, Pellegrini and Ranieri..

He got Lukaku now and he is still giving excuses

The same excuses he gave about Juve and his succesor took the same team to the CL final
Oh, so there is a trophy for reaching the champions league final, huh? Spurs must have gotten one of those last season.
Juventus has turned the Italian league to one team league because of the foundations Conte set. U can't expect him to perform wonders with same team that only sealed champions league qualification on the last day of the season.
U don't expect him to perform miracles because he got Lukaku, when his rival has one of the GOAT's.

Being a coach in real life is different from Football Manager(FM) where u can sign anyone u like(unless u are Pep tho).
As a coach, u have to make do with what u have and get the best out of the players u have at ur disposal.
I won't be surprised to see write that Marcos Alonso was also Conte's preferred signing for that position.

Winning the league becomes easier when u have the luxury of signing anyone u want, point and kill style .
B4 Pep came, City had already won the league several times in the past few years.
They were already a top team competing for the title every season, so him winning the league is not a very big deal.
It's thesame local league that local coaches like Ranieri, Conte, Pellegrini and Mancini won na, abi did it stop being a local trophy all of a sudden?
