If Conte had wanted him he would have said so.. ' feta accompli' springs to mind.. weeks b4 weeks b4 a season starts he gets a player he never asked for... NOT a good thing...
If he didn't want him he wouldn't have publicly approved the signing.
Jeeeeez, :contefacepalm2:
If Conte didn't want him he would of said "No" and the player wouldn't have been signed.
"Fait accompli" ????????
The negotiations have been going on for months. I'm sure Conte might of heard a whisper or two about it before the deal was done.
Nonsense

and others pretty much covered it.As they said, it may not have been a player Conte identified first, but gave the ok when the club asked him. So he was sanctioned by Conte.
Keep trying...
The expression is French not Greek. « Fait accompli ».
By the way, Greece must be the most underwhelming Mediterranean country. France, Italy and Spain produce world class wine, pork, and cheese in stylish surroundings. Greece has all the same potential and produces shit like feta, gyro and Faliraki. Huge unfulfilled potential. Dissolve the country and start again.
He's going to use number 24 per the latest update from the club.
Not a case of 'trying ' just a difference of opinion... Me, I think there's every chance that when the squads streched, Conte will be thinkin what if they'de spent the Spence Mils and wages on someone or a position I actually highlighted ... But hey one thing we can agree on is , let's hope Spence comes in and kicks arse...I was going to reply, but it looks like

Not everything is a matter of "opinion".
Unless Conte requested someone else that WAS available(*) then this is completely moot.
(*......And you certainly don't know this to be the case. Nor is it a logical assumption.)
Is it simplistic to think that "club purchase" means that the club had been following him for some time (Steve Hitchen says hi!) and that he was part of some sort of "Ones we are watching" dossier that was passed to Paratici and Conte when they joined?
I mean the slate doesn't get wiped completely clean when a new team come in, there are obviously ongoing projects they get to look at and proceed with or scrap as they see fit.
What's more, as is mentioned above, these are a couple of words in an a long interview with a man speaking a second language. Do you think that foreign speakers of any language are able to compute all possible nuances and interpretations of every phrase they use and how they might play out on internet forums in a split-second?

Wow. A Frenchman calling another country underwhelming. You're clearly talking complete bollocks since you think a town in Rhodes is food and if your description of Greek food is actually based on just eating in Faliraki then maybe education yourself a bit more.

Cracking islands to get pissed up in though
Feta is awesome, especially with watermelon and fresh mint leaves.
Gyros are also awesome, i prefer lamb, but i've only had Greek-American versions, never an authentic one in Greece, so i'm not sure how much different they are (if at all).
