Jose isn't mentioned? He had his eyes set on Pogba so we have to act quickly if that fails. Leicester is trying to persuade Kante to stay, that's why the offer isn't accepted yet. 

I REALLY hope N'Golo joins us. But I fear he stays at Leicester just like Vardy did because of Ranieri and the Champions League... 

heh as good as they were, they won't pass first round with their high-tempo PL-built style.

Anyway, Kante is a very good player but not the only B2b out there and certainly not the cheapest buy atm after the season they had. A club looking for a bargain should always stay clear of winning sides.

Last summer Jose/the club seemed to put all the eggs Into the Pogba and Stones baskets, and when they failed we were fucked.

Conte seems to have numerous contingency plans, can't get Bonnuci? Ok go for Koulibaly, negotiations halting a bit? Ok let's see if Manolas is available. Radja turned us down? Ok on to Joao Mario.

I want Kante as bad as the next Chelsea fan, but alternatively I'm pretty confident Antonio has a back up plan just incase it doesnt happen.

Wouldn't at all surprise me if José wants both Pogba and Kante and flogs off one or two of the CM's they have there.

Will not, and cannot blame the club if this one also slips by like the Radja transfer. When the player decides to stay at his club, there's nothing more that can be done.

 

But what I won't accept is keeping all our eggs in one basket. If this one fails, who do we target next? There has got to be a plan C, D or E even.

All I know is that with our current depth in central midfield, we are jeopardizing our chances of a top 4 finish next season.

Can't wait that long.

Chelsea make £27m offer for Leicester City’s N’Golo Kanté

Leicester keen to hold on to player and have offered him new contract 
• Chelsea refuse to let Nemanja Matic go before they sign another midfielder

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jul/14/chelsea-offer-leicester-ngolo-kante

[Pizy 18,858]

Unless we're signing 2 new midfielders there's no way we should sell Matic.

[RuudiGullit 112]

Oh Leicester will reject that offer alright. It all depends on Kante. Is he willing to stay or not? If he wants to leave they have to accept it. But I'm very certain that he stays. Just like Vardy did when he snubbed those gooners. 

 

Oh and I wouldn't sell Matic to Juve. Only if they give us Bonucci in return. 

[El P. 1,354]

Didn't see much of him, but I think he is player type like Ramires. Right? Can somebody compare him and Ramires so we can see who is better in which area?

Is he any good on the ball? I guess Ramires is faster and Kante has better positioning.

If I May Paraphrase one of the all time greats DMX:

"What these foxes want from my N'Golo Kante"!!!

Leicester fans are confident he will stay. I reckon no CL has screwed us.
