PAPER TALK 23/10/17


Right, let's kick things off this morning with a quick roundup of some of the biggest stories making today's back pages...

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants to reinvest the cash from Diego Costa's sale and launch a raid for Real Madrid star Gareth Bale (Star)


Alan Shearer says Newcastle can dare to dream if Mike Ashley sells the club, and that it could be the best thing for Rafael Benitez (Sun)


Antonio Conte insists he is not worried about losing his job at Chelsea, as he is not like the club's previous managers (Mirror)


Ronald Koeman insists he is still the man to turn Everton's season around, after they fell into the relegation zone with a 5-2 defeat at home to Arsenal (Guardian)

mostly the usual day to day babble / speculation.

we have no idea what the intention of the new newcastle owner will be.

conte - he will be gone within 2 seasons - he knew that when he signed. he's a good manager, but chelsea regularly sack good managers, and do not believe in having a manager for 3 years +.

koeman was overrated prior to going to everton, who overpay him as they thought he'd be a miracle worker. he's a solid manager but no miracle worker. he's gone through a poor patch of late, but has promoted a number of young players, and lost his source of goals in lukaku. if a club are not in danger of either falling out of champions league spots or getting relegated, i don't see why clubs don't give the manager til the end of the season.
