El P. 1,354 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 4 hours ago, jernej93 said: It really depends  You can easily play with two b2b midfielders with limited offensive skills if you put a good creative force in between ... and suitable wingbacks wouldn't hurt anyone, right?  I think we slag our midfield a lot but never really point our critics against poor wingbacks that are unable to beat defenders in 1on1 situation and tend to play backwards  Let's be realistic - any wingback that we ever get won't be really technically sound (like heavyweights - Marcelo, Lahm, Alaba). We may upgrade on that, buy someone faster, more proactive etc, like Emerson for example, but he won't give us possession dominance and better all-round team ball playing skill. It should be easier to buy midfielder with good ball control/passing/dribbling than look for that qualities in the wingbacks or relying solely on our attackers to do all that and drop deep to create something.

Riquelme 4 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 It was just to say Fernandinho  is a better player than Kante in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 2 hours ago, jernej93 said: One goal and Alonso is suddenly the best left back in the league  Okay, some people are thick and base their judgement on trash stats or goals only (for example the pundits and commentators who hail him as one of the best, then some supporters start believing their uneducated opinion). But you said we never criticize them, which is false, in fact them not being able to beat a man 1-on-1 and playing backwards is one of the main gripes members on here have with Alonso and others. jernej93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think I saw Kante cover every blade of grass. He was literally alone in midfield for almost the entire game and still put up a fight. He is wherever the ball is and that is insane.

I'd include Azpilicueta in that bracket too. Again, he's another that isn't his usual standards but there were at least 3 or 4 times last night he tracked the last man when the rest of the team stopped in the hope he'd deal with it.

KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 you guys better enjoy kante for this is his last season with us.

Kante is one of a kind, dying breed of a player in today football and to me he is worth easily 180m. Im not even exaggerating, people look at goals and all, but tell me how many players are in the mould of Kante. If VVD goes for 85m, midfielder who was Poty, is easily worth 100m more in today market. And Psg is full of cash, so why not even more. But in the very end, even 200m wont replace Kante if you ask me. Not with the way our board works and the players we can attract.  Now I see it will be pivotal to keep best players. Because if we let go either Eden, Kante, Tibo it will cause chain reaction and everyone will know we sell for price. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whos better Verratti or Kante in your eyes? I think Verratti better that's only reason I would give PSG Kante if Verratti goes to Chelsea ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Kante all day long, he's only been to look off the pace of late because of the shite around him. Him and Hazard are the ones in this team who are elite. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 PSG will never pay +100 million for such an unmarketable player and neither will Real. Only we way we'll lose Kante is if he wants to leave. xPetrCechx, Supermonkey92 and communicate 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
