I made the point a few days ago, thinking ahead of next season assuming we're back where we should be.. Is Kante the type of player we're building our midfield around? I don't think so. I accept the need for short-term solutions now, but we should have an eye on further ahead too. We buy Kante for an excess of £20m now, we then get stuck with such a player for years on end because no-one wants such a player after. Of course he could turn about to world-class and make me eat my words too . But from seeing him this season, I really don't know what more he offers other than pace and stamina.. I could be wrong just as easily as you, but the worst I see him is as a serviceable sub off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Building block? Yes. He is a very useful piece in terms of building a solid midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The big question was, can he be as good in a team that controls possesion and takes the initive? If this half is anything to go by hes even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 What a sublime half from the lad, the way he shields the ball and takes it away in one motion is a joy to watch. Get him with immediate effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Pay the 20m and give the lad another 20m as a sign-up compensation. He is worth a lot more than though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,909 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Signing of the season caliber player if someone gets him for that release clause. Performances like this are what will make it extremely difficult for us to sign him. PSG bound I would guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this half is anything to go by hes even better. Most tackles and interceptions tonight yet he also had the most passes completed (79 compared to Matuidi and Pogba with 52 and 50 respectively). His passing was always purposeful as well (39 passes forwards compared to 13 backwards). He really looks the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His passing was always purposeful as well (39 passes forwards compared to 13 backwards). He really looks the real deal. Indeed. Is his offensive game fantastic? No. But with creative players around him and a box to box, dynamic partner in the middle of the park he's the perfect #6. For France he's got Matuidi next to him as the box to box and Pogba as the playmaker. I'm salivating at the thought of Kante as our DM, Nainggolan as our box to box, and Cesc as the playmaker. Remember Cesc at his best in his first season here and towards the end of this season? When he had time on the ball and ran the show? That's what we'd get with Kante and Nainggolan doing the leg work. We surely must be in for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conte love hard working players, Kante and Radja are type of players that Conte really love. So if Conte wants them we have a big chance of getting them, Radja is close to sign for Chelsea and we will see about Kante what will happen. Radja-Konte-Fabregas would be amazing trio in midfield.

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Like I said way before, 20m release clause is a fucking robbery, just sign him up already before the Euros. Now is getting much harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Kante’s current £40,000-a-week contract contains a complicated release clause that could see him leave for £20m this summer.
