N'Golo Kante

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

Hopefully we give him a 2 year extension and use him sparingly to cope with his injuries. Should be easy with Gallagher and hopefully a new DM coming in.

what has happened to you? god damn

[robsblubot 3,502]

Bossed the midfield against united like he usually does? 😉

To me the mistakes in attack were far worse than anything bad we did at the back--united hardly created anything. Took a moment of magic from Cristiano to score against us.

We controlled the game from start to finish and Kante had a big part in that. We let him go and he will do that against us... that simple.

£60m and he is theirs, hell, £50m

we need start to make actual sales after shitting away hundreds of millions of pounds

Despite his injury problems these days he’s still far too good for us to allow him to go to a side we’ll be competitive for top 4 with next year. He would make United’s midfield considerably better.

If we let him go it should only be to somewhere like PSG.

Abroad will be the answer. 

Boehly wants self sustainability, and 290kpw for a player who is on the decline and in the hospital bed 3/4 the season doesn't seem very sustainable financially.

The concern with someone like Kante is he is still so highly regarded and also so loved by the Chelsea fan base that the new owners will be worried that selling him or not extending his contract could be seen as a negative PR decision.

Someone needs to make a big decision on him which might not be the most popular. I don't think this season he has justified a new contract on the wages he earns, especially as he'll be 32 at the end of next season and has had 3 years of struggles staying fit.

Would a summer of rest help get the best back out of him for another season or two? Possibly, but I wouldn't bank on it.

I wouldn't really like to take the risk of trading him off to United but if they were the only team that came in for him and were willing to offer good money I think it needs to be considered as we've got some work to do in the market this summer.

Have to believe though PSG would fancy him if we showed any suggestions he was available.

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

I'd still love Bissouma to replace him.

People have said worse abt 38yr old Thiago Silva at different times especially during his Lampard's last season. Kante will overcome this phase of injury problems. He still have an atleast efficient 3yrs in him. Especially with Gallagher coming into the squad next season we won't always be in a desperate position to risk his fitness. Kante will be BacK.

Easing Gallagher into the squad with NG still here is important, the contract situation though is a bit complicated...

3 weeks out.

Could be worse but clearly NG is coming to an end. When he plays,he is still as good as he used to but his injuries will slowly get the better of him.

Now Conor can finally show what he got. I think he will do a good job but he is no NG. Guess TT will go with RLC in CM first tho

I thought he was terrific against Spuds (i think he's terrific anyway), fuck the 80th min, yet another hamstring for him.

If Tuchel is feeling adventurous in the next game (which I feel he should), he will continue with RLC at RWB with Gallagher in the middle.

Fully expect him to bring back Azpi at RCB, with RLC in rhe middle.
