He has been managed incredibly poorly this season. Said it early doors it was no coincidence Emerson, Rudiger and Kante came back from injuries only to end up injured again the following week or so. Or even Tammy being pushes through that Arsenal game he was out for a few weeks after IIRC. Hopefully a summer off and bit of time to recharge will do him the world of good. God knows we need him as an option to try balance out this top heavy team.

I know we don't have any other options but Kante is a classic case of Lampard running a player into the ground.

Do not forget Sarri who started the whole circle

Any update? So surprising there is no word on him.

If he gets back up to speed we will dominate the league

so who is his pivot partner?

Kovacic?

surely not Jorginho

Gilmour?

and if we ram him back into that RMF slot in a 3 man MF, he is going to continue to struggle

he certainly cannot be the sole DMF deep holder either

toss Rice (or Partey, or Camaviga,or Denis Zakaria or Tonali or Ismaël Bennacer, <<<<< those are the only acceptable DMF's atm for me ) next to him in a double pivot I am over the moon AS LONG AS HE STAYS HEALTHY

Seeing as we're unlikely to buy Rice this summer, I'm just gonna throw in Ampadu..

Kovacic is a box to box ball carrier, not a stay at home and defend type

given his utter lack of playing time and his chronic injuries, I would be shocked if he is up to it

If it's a double pivot it has to be Kante - Kovacic/Mount I would lean more towards Mount... Mount has to play in the no 8 role as he has the attributes plus if Havertz is confirmed who will be our 10, Havertz & Mount would complement well because both can fit in the 8 & 10 role interchange as needed. Problem is Kante playing as the lone CDM which again we need someone like Mount/Kovacic who can cover it for Kante till Rice (iIF) is brought (one of the reasons why I dont want him to end up at CB). 

We could soon have a bunch of 22/23 yrs domaniting our midfield.

No, for the laces.

Bot sure how can you make that conclusion when Barkley - Mount (which is what Havertz and Mount combination will be something like) was played less than 5 games last season

There is such a massive level of difference in class between Barkley and Kai, that the comparision is unimaginable. 

Also, post the re-start and before the kante injury, Barkley and mount did play most of that period together with kante as sitting. I know the sample size is very small, but you could see what FL wanted to do. Will be a completely different ball game with kai.

Less than 50 million pounds for Kante?  What a load of BS!
