Finney Is Back
Andy Thompson
I think there are at least 10 (and probably several more) in that list that Conte would've been more than happy with.... and these are just the centre backs who moved clubs, there would be an equally sized list of CBs who could've been purchased that didn't move anywhere.I think the problem was probably that Conte wanted a very specific one (in typical Conte style) that wasn't gettable at the time. So although there were plenty available, we didn't move for any of them and did the stop-gap Lenglet loan. Even if we had bought the best one from the above list, he might have still gotten the "club signing" treatment from Conte.
