Conte wanted 2 top players upfront. signing either one of Jojo or Higuain just won't do! and frankly somewhat unacceptable especially as we're looking to overhaul the current forwards
Llorente and one of Higuain/Jovetic, makes 2.
Keep Vucinic, Gio and Matri or Quag as rotation options.

Everyone seems to forget we are in a "project" that takes time.

He already got one in Llorente. It's next to impossible to get three players who will earn similar wages which is high by our standards.

I'd be worried if it's true, not because I thought we could land both but for tactical reasons it doesn't make sense. One is an SS the other a CF, shouldn't the board and Conte have clear ideas of what they want and not just a "top player"?
agree about tactical reasons, it was always more of a dream scenario and good opportunities.

but how much of a say does Elkann have in club decision? don't think its too much, he's just giving his comments IMO, not dictating policy.

if its true that Conte demanded 2 top strikers - 1 being a fox in the box which makes sense to me, then why are we chasing Jovetic? either because he meant 2 additional strikers to llorente, or the management have already failed to meet Conte's demands should they only sign Jovetic to compliment llorente

Wait. So people are/were actually thinking we'd sign both Jovetic & Higuain in addition to Llorente?

Difficult to say whether that's sad or hilarious.
Yes,because of the cash+players deal for Jojo.
No one really thought we can pay 20-30 mil twice.
All the talk was about Higuain for 25mil.
and Jojo for 10mil+players(Quag,Marrone,Isla) deal.

Those both deals for sure posibble.

You don't buy it?think he's bluffing or just that he wont have a lot of influence on that?
He is one of the principal owners of the club. He writes the checks. I would take his word over anyone else, to be quite honest with you. But that's just me. Keep in mind, that I thought Martinez was a good purchase a few years ago, so....................well, you know.
