Excited about this lad. 

KDB vibes. Hopefully his quality transitions to the PL. 

I watched a lot of KDB when he stayed at Genk for the rest of the season after we signed him. Not long after I started doing that I posted (on CfcNet) to say that, "I love, love, love the way he plays football." I've only watched clips of the Russian lad but I can't say I've recognised that same vibe from him yet.

I think that's a pretty impressive effort for a 19 year old and above anything shows there is some raw creative abilities within him.

Not many Russian players are a success outside of Russia which is a little concerning but the top Russian players like Arshavin and Zhirkov made moves in their mid to late 20's to stronger leagues. 

I think given his age and a 6 foot frame for him to grow into, on top of his natural talent and potential and he has probably the best chance of anyone to correct the above.

£18M is the price for Kante

Would be dumb and absolutely predictable if we moved him on in Jan when he's on the verge of fitness 

We are short on midfield cover. Best thing to do is keep him till the summer and then assess. But no, we'll sell him in Jan so that he doesn't leave on a free

so he will still be injured when the January window closes, ffs

[DDA 9,924]

Is it a situation where we need to get him even if he is injured just to take him off the market ?

I don't think the new ownership group wants players to leave on a free, we lost out on at least 60-70 million from the Rudiger & Christensen contract sagas...

I just hope it's not another Fofana situation.  He only just got back from a bad injury and then we splashed all the cash on "potential".
