It transpires that Conte switched his phone off on deadline day. Ross Barkley wanted to speak to him to understand what position he would play, and how he fitted into Contes plans but Barkley or his agents couldn't get hold of Conte. So he pulled out of the deal and went back to Everton. How tin pot is that? Hecky had his phone, fax machine and pager on, and fully charged, all deadline day. Some of these premiership fellas could learn a thing or two of Hecky.
Haha. True! I'll be honest, I think keeping your phone on during deadline day, when your clubs trying to sign players, is actually fairly basic. Embarrassing at any level. But Chelsea.
