Kante's offensive out put has been great do not underestimate his influence. He has at least 4-5 pre assists this season. Against Burnely he was arguably our MoM from an offensive out put. look at most of our goals and attacking moves they had him as a pre assist or playing in the final assist. 

Kante definitely showed signs of improvement in that Burnley game but I still agree that Kovacic might be a better option for that role in certain games against smaller teams. His ability to carry the ball is Hazard-esque and with that he can create space for the other attackers. He's more creative and better passer than Kante as well in my opinion and probably is more likely to score the odd goal once in a while.

Go on twitter or any other Chelsea forum people are saying Kova should be binned because Ross and RLC is playing well. Its still a minority but its growing by the day. 

Oh, I thought you meant on here, lol.

Those nobs on Twitter and FB, IG, etc can sod off. They obviously have no clue about football overall, as Kovacic plays a different game from Barkley especially. RLC I can see TRYING (not sure succeeding) to play in similar spatial/kinetic models as Kova, but Barkley, no. I watch what Kante does NOW, and that role si PERFECT for Kovavcic, just perfect. I SUPER rate Kovavcic, massive fucking loss if we do not get him perm. I will cry (maybe, lol, my wife for SURE, as she has wanted him since Inter days and she cries much more than I do anyway!! LOLOL) if he goes.

It's gotten better, and I certainly don't think he's at his peak yet, in this role.  He has the technical ability and the brain to be able to.  He's not as good as Kovacic in an attacking sense, though.  Like I've said, different tools for different jobs.  the way things are balanced right now, I like it, it's a swiss army midfield.

If we lose Kova

these are the acceptable (to us, us being my wife and myself) replacements (and no, these are not AMF's as that is Barkley/RLC to me, OR (huge statement of intent ) Kai Havertz, who atm I would take instantly over Bailey if we could only have ONE Bayer Leverkusen player). We also think Sandro Tonali (Neves will be too pricey) is an absolute must , MUST MUST buy in the Jorginho role, as his backup and hopefully eventually replacement.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will be too expensive, (as would Saul and Koke and Marco Verratti), so

 

Frenkie de Jong   Ajax

Tanguy Ndombélé   Lyon

Adrien Rabiot  PSG

Piotr Zielinski  Poison Dwarves

Miralem Pjanic (lower down, as he turns 29 in February, and not thrilled with buying 30 (or soon to be) something players, he also is not a true box to box'er, but my dog would he be crazy good i Sarriball (Juve are probably NOT going to sell him anyway, so put this in pipe-dream, along with Thiago Alcantara from Bayern)

Corentin Tolisso   Bayern Munich (they will never sell him though, not for under 70,80, 90 million euros, same for Leon Goreztka)

Bryan Cristante   Roma

Nicolò Barella  Cagliari

Donny van de Beek  Ajax

Amadou Haidara  RB Salzbug

Marcelo Brozovic  Inter Milan

Houssem Aouar   Lyon

Franck Kessié  AC Milan

Roberto Gagliardini   Inter Milan

Rolando Mandragora   Udinese

Matías Vecino  Inter Milan (he is far better player than I have seen in the past, I so see what Sarri liked in him)

Giovani Lo Celso (on loan to Real Betis from PSG)

Rodrigo Bentancur  Juventus

Lorenzo Pellegrini   Roma

Fabián Ruiz  Poison Dwarves

Jordan Veretout Fiorentina

Rafinha  Barcelona

Geoffrey Kondogbia  Valencia

Maximilian Eggestein   Werder Bremen

Youri Tielemans  Monaco

Dani Ceballos  Real Madrid (I hope he IS the player who they consider keeping and using over Kovacic)

Manu Trigueros  Villarreal

Mattéo Guendouzi  Arse (no way they would sell him to us though)

Karol Linetty  Sampdoria

Antonin Barak  Udinese

Christopher Nkunku  PSG

Weston McKennie  Schalke

 

On a free, I would accept, after much thought, Aaron Ramsey from the Goonas, he is a hell of a player and is homegrown. He would be high on the list.

Also, we need to make a move for the best 16yo (yes 16, lol) MF on the planet atm, Ryan Gravenberch from Ajax, and get him into our academy

If true sack the board 😂

 

Also wish Martin Keown would fuck off, Daft bastard. 

[Vesper 30,085]

Only way I will not lose my mind is if we are going to not go for Kovacic due to one of these being signed 

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic  Lazio

Saul       Atletico Madrid  

Koke     Atletico Madrid

Marco Verratti PSG

Frenkie de Jong   Ajax

Tanguy Ndombélé   Lyon

Adrien Rabiot  PSG

Piotr Zielinski  Poison Dwarves

Miralem Pjanic    Juve

Thiago Alcantara    Bayern Munich

are coming in (and even some of those I still rate Kovacic over)

He is fucking on verge of world class level, extraordinarily talented

We have NO ONE remotely like him on the team or on loan

Mount is an AMF

He is a right proper cunt, I fucking hate him.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

I'm ok with that if it means Barkley, Loftus-Cheek AND Mount will all be given proper chances here. I like Kovacic so so much but homegrown should be a priority for this club, especially when they are as talented as those three. Plus I'm not sure if Kovacic is the right player for this system – he just doesn't score enough goals

Typical fucking hyping of English players. Nobody would care if they weren't English, especially about RLC. Honestly, any other team and any other nationality, not even Chelsea fans would want him here and would take Kovacic 10 times out of 10. Purple patches come and go, but the difference in quality is evident.

If we lose Kovacic, I am fucking gutted. He is one of the players who gave us CL hope gain. I love him to death.

100% agree with this assessment. I like Mateo, but I won't be overly worried if we don't retain him.
