So you were at the meetings with Conte and the board and knew exactly who Conte did and did not ask for....

airmark:


What i read in the past was that, the coach would submit his list and club will check and decide who to buy and sometimes would replace with players they believe are within their financial grasp.

When they asked mou about djilobodji, he said he was told he was a good player to buy. If you think all those that joined chelsea in the last window, were suggested by conte, that you are wrong. That conte remained silent since, doesn't mean he was part of the problem. You don't expect him to turn down replacements approved by his superiors, i mean those that threw his list in the bin. We heard that he wanted to resign, now we know the story was true and the reasons for such decision.

Conte is forced to use those average players that the clubs believe will do the same job of
on conte's list, at a good price.

When matic wanted to go and he was asked about him, he said, ask the club. He is not a fool to drop the blame on the club's door step.

If emenalo didn't reveal conte's first choice, lordfalcao and some clueless people would still think, conte preferred morata to lukaku from the onset.

I will like to know how you got to know bakayoko and zappa, are mainly his suggestions.

Do you need to sit in board meeting to know that Blind is a Van-Gaal signing while Herrera, although signed during Van Gaal tenure is inherited from David Moyes. Those who follow their club well will know some things.

Ibime:


From my records, Chelsea signings are allocated as such:

Luiz - Roman

Batsuayi - Emenalo
Rudiger - Emenalo

Kante - Conte (but only after the club refused to spend £40m on a 29 year-old run-run player Naingollan)
Bakayoko - (Strongly Conte)
Morata - (Conte, albeit 2nd choice behind Lukaku)
Zappacosta - (Conte, albeit 3rd choice behind Walker and Ox)

Alonso - (Club - Unallocated, but not Conte)
Drinkwater - (Club - Unallocated, but not Conte)
Barkley - (Club - Unallocated, but not Conte)

He that will come to equity must come with clean hands. The club may be bad with transfers, but Conte is just as bad.

Conte should tell us which innovative sub-£40m player he has recommended, not Ronaldo and Messi. The worst transfer of the lot belongs to Conte.

funlord:

The signs were there that those 2 players were actually wanted by the club! Moyes had initially tried and failed in his first season to get herrera while van gaal openly showed a preference for dharmian.

funlord:

This una man never seems to fully endorse any signing even in press conferences so it's hard to believe he really has any say last last! That woman in the board room seems to be the puppet master and takes abramovichs wallet into consideration when making decisions rather than contes wishes! Is dzeko really the best target man you guys could acquire presently? By the way he wanted lukaku.....he was angry that the club did not sign him!

Nihilist:



your records are irrelevant unless you can categorically tell us that you have a guy inside the club feeding you info, or point us to an interview where Emenalo or Conte or whoever comes out to say "i signed this guy"

if you're reading daily fail or daily hoaxpress newspaper, and using their speculation as the basis of your list, then that's a foul.

Conte didnt even expect Bakayoko to see 1st team shirt when the boy signed for us. Conte never played Zappacosta for Italy despite playing a wingback system here. he's still being benched for moses now

so if none of these guys were in Conte's 1st choice plans, whats the proof that he was the one that signed them? Especially with the way the man has been denouncing transfer policy every chance he gets..

now that Emenalo don go, una wan sharply turn conte to the new scapegoat.

Conte gave Zappacosta his Italy debut. Conte named Zappacosta in his provisional Euros squad. Of course you should know Italys 1st choice righback is Antonio Candreva, another 29 year old player that Conte has been pursuing for Chelsea to the tune of £40m since his first day in the job. Just like all Contes recommendations (Naingollan, Vidal), they are all 29 years old and cost upward of £40m.

Conte signed Zappacosta and Bakayoko as backups to Matic and Moses respectively. He cannot deny them anymore than Pep can deny Nolito who he signed as backup. They don't need to be 1st choice for you to know they are Conte signings just like Nolito is a Pep signing as backup. If Conte did not rate Zappacosta at all, he would have him nowhere near Italy team.

Chelsea: How the transfer recruitment process works

By Bryan Swanson, Chief News Reporter

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has often referred to "the club" when asked who signs new players at Stamford Bridge.

So how does the transfer recruitment process work in west London?

Our chief news reporter Bryan Swanson examines the transfer structure in place.

Who are "the club"?

Player strategy is set by Conte, but only in agreement with club director Marina Granovskaia. She is responsible for player transactions and has a wider brief, including overseeing the academy and scouting structure, following the departure of Michael Emenalo last November.

Has Emenalo's departure affected the club this month?

He never had sole control over new transfers, the structure did not allow for it. He worked alongside Granovskaia, a trusted advisor to owner Roman Abramovich, who became involved in Chelsea transfer activity just under a decade ago. Chelsea have yet to replace Emenalo, like for like, and may well be considering another model.

Who has the final say on buying new players?

The transfer sign-off is Conte to Granovskaia to Abramovich. A final financial decision lies with the owner, with Granovskaia in charge of negotiations. Abramovich's involvement is generally to consider the plan and targets and give them the green light. It is his money, after all, and it is safe to say he has more knowledge of deals being done in each window than some other Premier League club owners. But we are told he does not personally get involved in the specifics of deals or negotiations.

So Granovskaia is the most powerful figure at Stamford Bridge, aside from Abramovich?

On transfers, yes, in terms of finalising new deals. She is one of a three-person club board, which also includes Bruce Buck and Eugene Tenenbaum. Generally speaking they would not be involved on individual transfers. But that is not to say the board are never involved.

Does the structure work?

The system ensures a manager does not have complete control over everything behind the scenes. Chelsea will point to the fact that, since 2009, they have won the Premier League and FA Cup three times, the Champions League, Europa League and EFL Cup.

diggz is responsible you a free man now

That man is a sharp shooter

Nihilist:


zappacosta did not make his debut under conte. Conte never played Zappacosta for italy.

Conte played several players at RWB for italy particularly in Euro2016 - Darmian and Florenzi both played there, i think even Giacherrini. i doubt Candreva played RWB more than any of those players. i find it hard to believe that he would lgnore those players and go and sign Zappacosta who he never even played as Italy boss.

so unless you're linking zappacosta to conte because they share the same passport, i dont understand where the confidence to say Zappacosta is a conte signing is coming from.

Nihilist:

the only 3 players that we know for a fact that Conte wanted and did not get are"

naingollan
alexis sanchez
Lukaku

and we know this because the interviews are on wax.

The guy don suffer. Chelsea fans all over the world were cursing him online for transfers claiming they could even teach him how to scout and sign players

Bakayoko interview:

"When I was at Rennes and he was coaching Juventus, he was already watching me. I wanted to work with him and I am convinced he is going to improve me and help me reach my goals, personal and team."

Some of us do our research well. Anytime I come across relevant information on Chelsea transfer business I file it in my brain. I don't need to be in board meeting to know that Emenalo has been tracking Rudiger since 2014, and when Mourinho was at loggerhead with the club in 2015 insisting they sign John Stones, Emenalo recommended that he should manage Rudiger instead. Mourinho was so stubborn about John Stones that Roma swooped in for Rudiger while Mourinho was opposing the move. The club continued negotiations with Everton but Everton wouldn't budge on their price, and the only person available in that last week was Djilobolodji. For the record, Aldeweireld was the 2nd person Emenalo recommended instead of John Stones but Jose was stubborn on John Stones.

So when Ibime tell you in 2018 that Rudiger is an Emenalo boy, know there is years of research and long memory that went into that statement. Before I started speaking on Emenalo in 2012, I had been tracking his influence since 2010. I don't just wake up to yarn loosely.

No matter how you want to absolve 'the club' of our present situation, the monster will still rear its ugly head. Thunder must fire emenalo for signing rudiger for chelsea. I won't watch barca - chelsea, once i see that kpon kpon defender in the line up.

In your previous post, you claimed conte brought kante to chelsea, that alone trounced every good signing the club did for us during the period under review. Missing out on lukaku and forcing conte to fall back on a striker having back pain every month, is appalling.

It's on record that conte never wanted matic to go, i know you like him, who allowed him to go? 'The club'. Yet we should blame conte for all these.

Those 'old' and experienced players that conte wanted, may look old to you, but if conte could use luiz' experience to win epl, no one can tell what he would have done with those you condemned. We can only deal with what is in our front.

Nihilist:


Conte signed Morata for Juve and even called the boy and his father when he was at Madrid to ask him if he would come to Chelsea- Morata said this himself

Despite this, Emenalo came out last month and confirmed that Lukaku was the man Conte wanted.

Ibime:
Hazard will leave this club

Imagine playing with Bakayoko, Zappacosta, new signings that are totally demoralising like Drinkbleach, Barkley, signing likes of Palmieri just returning from ACL, buying 32 year old Dzeko, bidding for Carroll etc.

If I'm Hazard, thunder will fire my father if I don't leave this useless club.
