Rennes did not anticipate his sale this summer but the player doesn't want to miss the chance to join a big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Football London only report what other papers are saying rather than having their own inside sources. Haven't seen any of the reliable Chelsea sources say that Lampard, the club etc want Kante off. Not even Romano himself has reported anything on this. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/chelsea-transfer-rumours-ngolo-kante-18884749.amp Ian mcgarry is their source here. There have been a decent amount of rumors floating about for us to off handedly say that there is nothing here at all. Also, romano is a solid reporter, but also pretty much a tap in merchant. You won't have him reporting Mendy to Chelsea a month ago itself when transfer rumors were floating about Cech liking and recommending Mendy. I say this with all due respect to romano, he reports transfers a week or so before, but no way is he a source or no way can he be sited as an example to know what the club and the board want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance. He’s not a target," Ausilio said. “ https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/inter-claim-lautaro-move-to-barcelona-now-impossible/11ozmfdmuv7921pxvi8s4hacs6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Seriously bro?

Good for him 👏 But he barely rotates and definitely does not rotate his defence. Tomori would hardly get minutes ahead of mina, Keane and holgate. He could have been a 4th choice CB here itself. killer1257 and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can believe what you want, I still stand by what I said in the final convo with Jason. If we get rice and still have kante, what formation? How does kante fit it? Will we change our whole pressing game by going to a 4-2-3-1 to play to a World class kante's strengths, or will we put a square peg in a round hole by playing him in an advanced position and worsening our overall play.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 1 hour ago, ZAPHOD2319 said: Should of just sold Zouma and let Tomori compete with Rudiger to play with and also learn off of Thiago Silva who I think is going to definitely start this season. I mean he was very good in the CL run and shackled Lewandowski pretty expertly if you ask me in the final. Baffling decision if I am honest. You sign a 36 year old CB whos won everything more or less in several leagues, captained his national team and then loan out one of your two young CBs who could learn a shit tonne of invaluable things off him from playing with him and training with him. A season after playing him sort of regularly with no PL experience. Hmm. Okay may seem harsh on Zouma, obviously he is decent enough but he probably isn't going to elevate his game much much higher in the same way Ross Barkley isnt going to even if we signed the likes of a Zidane or someone in that position. Their at ages now where theyve more or less sort of shown what sort of players they are going to be. Obviously Frank has his preferences, as we know he likes Ross, he likes Zouma which may have accounted for it but still questionable. Plus the games Tomori played last season I would say he was likely to he ahead of Christensen in the pecking order too. I suppose if we were weeks into the season and he didnt play its also a fair idea but we wont know, I can see him going to Everton and having a good season, where people will probably question why did we loan him out if we end up with a shite GA again. Also whats changed after last season? We should of just loaned him out last season if Frank felt he needed a move to play more PL games. He will be better off having played in the PL for 1 season so a loan move now strikes me as very odd. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
