Let's face it, a few of the players he wanted didn't want to come to us or if they did we were a 2nd or 3rd option and he struggled with that.Indeed, and how many of those were his prime targets and how many of those were "for a position Conte wanted filled". There is a big difference between the two btw when it comes to implementing a specific way of playing.
FWIW I believe Ange has far more scrutiny of the incomings than Conte has, and Conte should have insured on day one the final say was always his, but again spending money does not completely equate to "being backed".
