Conte knows that Vucinic is the superior talent. Unfortunately Mirko is having a criminally bad form. Conte was the one who wanted Vucinic and he's now being stubborn, sticking to his choice.
We can't play with working horses. We need guys who can play football. I believe it's Conte himself who insists on Vucinic's solo plays. But it's a mistake because after New Year it simply doesn't work.

This is very similar to Zlatan's last season in Juve. Almost the same. Capello too refused to bench a clearly out of form and frustrating Zlatan who wanted to do everything alone. Back then we had players who can compensate for it while right now we don't. And also, Mirko isn't Zlatan.
Or did Conte settle with Vucinic?

Vucinic's name came out of nowhere, right after Conte joined. At one point Marotta himself said how we're looking for both Kun and Mirko and guarantees were given that we're not looking at Mirko as a LW. So yeah, I do think we bought him on Conte's insistence.
In any case, Vucinic is clearly Conte's preferred choice from the available strikers and left sided attackers. That much is clear for now.

I was referring to Sánchez more than Kun. Everyone had Rossi to Barça and Sánchez to Juve right after Conte joined.

He didn't get injured. His injury came in September or October.
Barca simply gave up on him because they didn't intend to spend a lot of money on him and Villarreal wanted 25-30m iirc.
Was it?

Regardless!!

Fuck Barca for not saving us from him for at least a few more years.
