Loan with an option to buy. Brilliant deal! Marina did it again. 🥳  Our midfield is set now. I'm soooo waiting for the international break to be over. 😁

Fans thinking that he's going to be a 4th choice squad player are in for a rude awakening. Only Kante is a guaranteed starter the other spot is there to be won by Saul, Kovacic and Jorginho. If Tuchel can elevate Saul the way he elevated Christensen, Rudiger, Azpi etc then Saul may well start alongside Kante. I'm curious to see how he plays in our system as opposed to anti-football Simeone style.

Kante is not a guaranteed starter as well. He will be rotated. One, because majority of teams we play, our CM pairing of Jorginho and Kovacic is a better partnership. Secondly, he is injury prone. As good as Kante is, a lot of his best performances come when he is rotated out the team for the odd game and then comes back in fully refreshed.

I'm talking about in the most important games. Kante is the first name on the teamsheet when he's fit. I was the one demanding that we sign a midfielder so that we can rotate, trust me you don't have to explain that to me lol.

But effectively there is no guaranteed player. Jorginho is probably guaranteed to start more games than Kante due to the way we play. But over majority of games we play, Jorginho is more crucial one can argue.

Exactly. Last 3 season Jorginho always ended with most minutes vs Kante and Kovacic. Kante even when fit if we have a chance to rest him we will do it due to previous injuries.

Is it true that he actually played mostly LB? If so, then no wonder his form went down when played out of position.

Jorginho starts more games than Kante, because of Tuchel managing Kante's fitness. Jorginho can start more games without him suffering an injury compared to Kante. Tuchel stated many times that Kante is the heartbeat of this team, and if you really think that Jorginho is more important for our system then you're mad. 

The gegenpressing system we play is literally made for Kante, no matter who we play against whether it be a lowblock team or a high pressing team. Either Kante makes us win the ball back or he ensures that we do not lose the ball at all.
