Since it doesn't appear Matic will be sold after all and we're after Kante I wonder how Conte plans to use them. A fit and back in form Matic is far too good to be on the bench. Not sure if you can play both of them together.

 

Maybe use Matic in a more box to box sort of a role?

Matic is too slow for b2b

Reckon they complement each other very well as kante is the far more mobile player - even more so than ramires

Playing Matic and Kante together would certainly lift the defensive burden off the shoulders of Cesc which might spring him back into his top form.

It could work in a 4-4-2/4-2-4, to play that formation both CMs need to be astute defensively, like with Arsenal first with Vieira/Petit then Vieira/Gilberto, maybe Conte will develop N Golo into a more box to box as like @Robguima said, Matic is too slow for that particular role.

That however would almost certainly mean the end for Cesc, but if Conte trains a good attacking system we won't be as reliant on his creativity anyway.

This is the deal we should finalise as soon as possible. We can't miss him.

He closes his eyes and sees Pogba so I doubt it.

Why we need to negotiate a fee with them, if he has a release clause???

Someone said a few days ago something along the lines of although he has a release clause, Leicester only have to accept the highest bidder within the Premier League. 

So if Shanghai bid £35m, Man Utd £21m and Chelsea £20.5m the only bids Leicester would accept would be the first two, even though they all exceed the release clause. 

I could be COMPLETELY wrong on this, so don't quote, but I'm sure I'm along the right lines.

Or Real Madrid. Or City.

If this gets wrapped up in the next 72 hours and the next two targets are pursued, Chelsea will have gotten off to a good start.

This market is crazier than ever before; better hurry.

Is the telegraph reliable? I do hope so Kante will be amazing for us

[It's too big 625]

Matt Law is supposedly very reliable. I just need this sewn up so I can relax. I don't need any more twist and turns in this transfer window please. 

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Please do this Chelsea!!!!

[Special Juan 27,424]

Sounding very good, but don't get your hopes up.
