Spend doesn’t equate with quality. You can buy a lot of mid players. As a United fan I know this all too well. Which of those players are getting into Inter’s squad?

But the narrative around Conte is that's he doing what he's doing on a shoestring budget. With a team that has never been in this position before. Which is complete BS. They were Champs 2 years ago. So the hooker with heart of gold doesn't wash I'm afraid.


System or not. Atalanta was firmly in the shout for the title. They got dumped out of UCL and only had the league to focus on, too. But once they lost to Inter at Bergamo they mentally collapsed. Lost b2b to Fiorentina and Lazio. Those 6 dropped points would have put them at the top of the table (obviously that’s not how it works but arguing a point)

Atalanta weren't winning no damn league. They are historical chokers who had a night out last season. Would be like Spurs winning tomorrow.

The less we say about Juan Jesus, the better :hubie:

Left footed defenders are gold dust. Why you think Arsenal keep on stockpiling them? You can shyt on Juan Jesus all you want but he has a value to someone like Conte.

They were champs two years ago but this potential title winning squad isn’t as strong as the one under Spaletti.

No Osigoal or Kim, Kvara left halfway in the season. Can argue that while Scott has goals, Zielinski has a better eye for a pass.

Buongiorno hasn’t played as consistently in the league when compared to Kim who played damn near every game under Spaletti.

Gasp had a legit squad to make the run for the title. I said it earlier in the forum that the Inter vs Atalanta game at Bergamo was the litmus test for the squad since they always seem to crumble the Nerazzuri.

Win, and they had firm belief of winning the title, but under no circumstance could they lose that match.

Ended up losing it.

I hear that about being left footed but that man about to really have two titles.
