Probably not. Conte has thrown his hat into the ring.
I can't see Conte winning the league from here but he'll give them a fighting chance next season. Ship C-Ron off to the next suckers, and shore up the midfield and defence.
Fair to say spending $80M on Harry Macquire wasn't great business
Some good games coming.
Leicester v Aresnal, Brentford v Burnley, Wolves v Everton, all for top 10 except Burnley.
Man U gotta regain some northern face against Spurs away from old Trafford Resort & Spa. And of course Villa against those cockney gits. Good round.

At least Spurs haven’t spent zillions. Man United have spent 532 million pounds the last five years.
Yes Leeds have been found out a bit this season and really need to start notching up some wins. To be fair, have probably been a bit unlucky in a couple of those draws, where they perhaps deserved a win. But that is the nature of the sport and happens commonly.Leeds get a much needed win against cellar dwellers the Canaries 2-1.
The 3 goals were scored in a 4 minute period
The second year blues after promotion seems to be a a common theme. Can't help thinking Leeds have been worked out a bit. Last season they came in playing Beilsa's characteristic attacking game, that troubled opposition defenses. But opposition managers and teams have had time to work out a counter to it now.
The other issue for Leeds. After a near death experience and years in the wilderness stemming from poor financial management. This time around they have made no secret of the need to do things financially conservatively. Beilsa wanted a quality squad of players who can execute his game style. But the trade off of going for quality on a small budget, is that he can only afford a small squad which lacks depth. With that in mind, if you suffer just a few injuries to key personnel (as they have this season) the cupboard is pretty bare for cover.
In saying that, Raphinha and Rodrigo are absolute gems. Talk is they may struggle to hold onto Raphinha now that he is being noticed more prominently.

Yes, being a lot more fiscally responsible, means they haven't got the depth of a lot of the top clubs. Having their best players in Phillips, Raphinha, Bamford and Rodrigo injured at times has impacted on the team too.
They have some good young players coming through though, their under 23's won promotion to The Premier League 2 Division 1 last season.
Yes Joe Gelhardt being a prime example being called up from the U23s. How much more lively and likely to score have Leeds looked when he has come on in his few appearances? A very busy, highly skilled prospect.
