N'Golo Kante

[Unionjack 7,531]

Hands up I really do love our wee baldy man!

“N’Golo Kanté, N’Golo Kanté,
He’s short
He’s beautiful
He’s the one that stopped Leo Messi,
N’Golo Kanté!”

3 years back ... Not much ppl knew about Kante ... And here we are 3 years later, he is pretty much the best in his position with 3 major titles (2 PL & WC). 

Kudos, Kante!!!

... Lot of us consider it as a trophy more than a title, was the only reason 3 Major titles ... But yes why not ...

Incredible player but also a wonderful human being. He’s very much the anti-modern day footballer. Hope he stays with us for a long long time. Easily one of the worlds best.

Heard his mum was was coming down with flu and he intercepted it.

Kante is such a humble guy.
I know people will disagree, but to me he is Chelsea's most valuable player.

I don't think many would disagree with that sentiment. Losing him would be the biggest blow to our team.

Thank you, Leicester once again. You sold us best defensive midfielder in the World  . Hope he stays at Chelsea forever. Hazard and mister arrogant Courtious  can go but please Roman keep this humble guy in our team offer him $ as much as he wants.

My faves are

Kante doesn't fart - nothing escapes from him!

And

The Duracell bunny dropped dead trying to keep up with him

Kante is the player who should be top earner. A model professional who nev speaks bs in the press and always gives his all on the pitch. Him  arbing most would  drive greedy players to display the same commitment. And we should do it now not wait until Paris comes knocking bc so he feels how much we appreciate him.

Mixed performance yesterday but the guy just deserves to be on the winning side, never mind being a key part of it. Absolutely outstanding achievement and its testament to the trajectory of his career as well, even Giroud who like Kante played in the lower divisions of French football, an amazing achievement. Just shows that hard work is vitally as important as talent and even looking at Pogba for France he is 10 times the player for them than United and I think its almost purely because of Kante. Can't wait to see him with Jorginho as well, also I think Sarri like Conte did, will get him to improve even more with the ball. The £30M or whatever he cost, was an absolute bargain.

Barcelona are more interested in signing N'Golo Kante than Willian from Chelsea, according to Spanish football expert Graham Hunter.

@Chelsea Legend 11 You're right, Kante has never played in an uber attacking team setup. But his role is defined by Allan, as you showed. A key component of SarriBall is quick recovery of the ball and movement. Kante is the best in the world at ball recovery, and is in constant movement. We need a balanced midfield, Kante has shown he can carry the ball when need be and has shown he has a wide variety of passing capabilities. Is he going to pick those incisive passes through the lines consistently? No. Few players can, we happen to posses two of them in Cesc and Jorginho. His role will be to run around and destroy, a role in which I feel extremely comfortable he will excel at.

LMAO @ anyone who dares to suggest that Kante couldn't fit into Sarris system. There is nothing Kante can't do.

Trust me I hear you, we are examining the finer margins of the game now. For me, Kante is more ball winner/anchor and Allan is more of a Box to box/shuttler type. Is there room for Kante in Sarri's system? undoubtedly. Will we get the best out of him in this system? I doubt it. He's okay in possession but not great at using the ball. 

I would like to see him at chelsea forever but if an offer came in for 100m, I can see the money used to address a bigger need in the club which is striker and RW. In this system Kante won't be a player of the year candidate, he'll likely be a nice piece but not as influential. I think a lesser box to box mid will have more influence in the game over a world class anchor.
