As lovely as this all sounds this is just the new version of 'Always wanted to play for this club' that gets trotted out when a player signs. It is nothing new, there were several references to players Conte signed about how the player spoke to him before joining.
Yes Ange is a great guy, and the way he sees the game being played is going to be an attraction. But this constant fawning over every time a signing mentions talking to Ange beforehand gets a bit cringeworthy, its been said plenty of times before with previous less popular managers but of course people don't want to make a song and dance about it then....
