Parky 739 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 The reported figure of £29m is a steal for such a quality player at 25 years of age who has many prime years ahead.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was convinced that we'd use 4-4-2 but that would still leave us with only Cesc and Kante in the middle which may still struggle. 4-3-3 with a midfield of Matic Fabregas with Kante as the defensive mid or maybe we're still looking for a box to box midfielder to complete our midfield 3.

Matic as dm; don't think Matic has the pace required for a b2b role. Unless Conte goes full "Fuck it, the midfield is mine." And we go Matic--Kante witch Cesc as tactical sub. Would like to see one more CM, wonder if that'll happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky 739 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I think if you combine the best of Essien and Ramires than you would get Kante! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Great news, can't wait for confirmation! That's pretty much midfield sorted with Kante, Cesc, Matic, RLC, Mikel with maybe one more new addition in case Matic or Mikel leaves.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Mourinho gets the sack & by magic, the quality of our signings revert to pre 2013. Emenalo does it yet again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hazard and Fabregas can play in the same side at the same time without problem. 2014 it ended up with a PL title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nono 791 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I'm not terribly excited. Just another player of the Ramires and Mikel mould. Great defensively but won't help us against teams that defend with 10 men. So far the window has been an unkown striker and Kante. An OK transfer window which might turn out to be BAD if our rivals end up getting better players, which is going to be the case if the United and City deals for Pogba and Sane/Stones are completed.
