If we can get 120m for him in the summer..think we should let him go so that we can reinvest in more long term players...

Absolutely, especially if we can get that much (he turns 30yo next season)

But it will not happen I am afraid, and the mere suggestion will make some burn with poutrage. We are so misusing him IMHO. He is a so not WC as a forward playing CMF. We keep trying (have been since Sarri) to ram him into the lineup and it unbalances us as he is just not tailored for the style of play we have been attempting to do for a year and a half now. I thought at first we could change, due his incredible talent, but on balance it sure does not look that way. He has had some horrid games as of late as well. His passing and his turnovers have been disasterclass at times.

Sadly yes, he has no business up the field all the time. Conte knew how to utilize him, thats Kante. He protected that defence all game.......he just might go but it better be for at least 120. Our last WC player.

No. Our idiotic managers should play the world's best CDM as a fucking defensive midfielder. 

it is not going to happen under Lampard

so its either sack Frank or sell Kante

not just sack Lamps but we would have to pull a schizophrenic switch and bring in a Conte type or some other defensive pragmatic manager

we cannot keep careening from style to style

NEEDS TO BE SOLD IN THE SUMMER WHILST WE CAN STILL GET HUGE QUID
Play him in Jorginho's position and we're fine. More pressing issues that need to be addressed where Lampard's management is concerned.

The only time he's played as a CDM was Conte's first six games and it went so well he changed the entire system.

It's getting to the point where it feels Lampard is just shoehorning Kante into the XI because it's Kante and he doesn't want to upset people. Kante was not needed today, not against a team that has been parking the bus in almost every game this season. Kovacic should have started, not Kante! :middlefinger:

Lampard simply will not use him as a defensive wrecker

and tbh, his defensive play is a shadow of what it was (for whatever reason)

injuries and too many minutes since 2015-16 perhaps

Still the best option we have by a country mile in that position. Honestly have to wonder what our midfield supposedly offers most weeks.

Conte played with two CDMs in a 3-4-3. Yes, Matic was the deeper of the two but Kante was very clearly employed to play alongside him in a pivot.

Yeah but that position doesn't exist with the system we play now so it's about getting the best out of him within the system.

I love him but it's no coincidence we do so much better against the shithouse sides when Barkley or Kova play in his position.

I'm seriously concerned this will turn into a United/Rooney situation in the coming years.

Totally agree. If Lampard does not re-structuralize the midfield completely (which is not going to happen, be honest) then the best option is to sell and cash in. Kante is totally misused, which is not going to change sadly, so what is the point? Not needed luxury as it seems.
