[King Kante 1,643]

Talking of LB's. Everytime I see Max Aarons I am impressed. Reads the game very well for someone so young. If he was in a decent PL team everyone would be raving about him.

You mean Jamal Lewis? He is Norwich LB. Aarons plays RB for Norwich. Both exciting talents.

Lampard denies he wants to sell Kanté to fund Havertz and Chilwell moves

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jun/19/frank-lampard-ngolo-kante-kai-havertz-ben-chilwell-chelsea

Frank Lampard has denied Chelsea will fund moves for Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz and Leicester’s Ben Chilwell by selling N’Golo Kanté this summer.

Chelsea are targeting Havertz and Chilwell after confirming the signings of RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner and Ajax’s Hakim Ziyech but Lampard insisted he had no intention of losing Kanté, even though the manager accepted some squad members could be sold when the transfer window opens.

Kanté, who is available to face Aston Villa on Sunday after putting aside his safety fears over coronavirus, has made 22 appearances in all competitions this season after struggling with injuries. However Lampard, who is unsure whether Pedro and Willian will agree short-term deals to the end of the season, said the 29-year-old France midfielder was in his long-term plans.

“In terms of N’Golo, I’ve seen some talk and reports about him and his future at the club,” Lampard said. “I’ve said it a lot of times about N’Golo – one of the best midfield players in the world. I would have loved to be able to play with him. He has everything.

“Coming back to Chelsea and having N’Golo Kanté is something I really want to appreciate and work with. Because of injuries it’s been tough for N’Golo. It’s nice to see him a little bit fresh. N’Golo is so important to us going forward. We need him regularly and hopefully we’ll have that now.”

technically a swap (with another player or some cash tossed in for makeweight IF needed) for Varane is not exactly a 'sale' LOLOL

sigh

To be fair, he isn't going to say anything else. If he said, 'yes he is for sale' he would have reduced Kante's value and he would've upset a lot of people as you do not do such things to Kante. 

I am personally someone who thinks Kante could be sold. However, I think his market is pretty much limited to PSG coming up with £75m+ so I would say it more of a case he would be for sale for the right offer than we are 'looking to sell'.

But Lampard has praised Kante to the heavens every single time. Not sure if Lampard is the kind of manager who says one thing but does or plans to do another thing behind the scenes, unless the player himself wants to move or the club overrule the manager.

Chilwell is getting toasted on defence. I guess the only thing Lampard sees is the help on the attack.

Top 5 Attacking Contribution LB

Marcelo 

Rapha Guerreiro

Ben made my post seem untimely.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Benhrama just scored for Brentford.

[Milan 17,957]

If you pictured Chels getting Chilwell for around 50m, today's goal is changing everything  

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Good finish by chilwell. Alonso would of been proud of that.




Still average defensively at best

I hope the scouts were watching and watching closely. Chilwell is like a weird hybrid of Alonso and Emerson. Quick and scores goals but just as suspect in defense as both. We should definitely distance ourselves from signing him. Either buy a really good LB or none at all.

I actually like chilwell a lot.

He has a massive engine, gets up and down constantly. He also has this bit of arrogance on the ball that I love (for example, Reece James has it even more so). He's quality and thoughtful going forward. He isn't looking to just get to byline and cross aimlessly, but early crosses and passes across the box, trying to pick people out. And that sort of helpful in building out of the back too.

He definitely has a lot of room for improvement, esp defensively. I don't think he's as poor as people make him out to be though. I would just say very average defensively.

Not worth close to 80 mil. But he would improve us massively.

He is only 23 too. Mark my words, a few years he will be regarded as one of the best LB around. Sarr would tear many FB apart let's face it. Look what he did to Liverpool. Chilwell is not bad defensively. Not excellent but his strengths are going forward.

I'm sure Lampard and the scouts have done so. Otherwise, the links would not have gone on for so long/much. Guess Lampard and co. are confident of Chilwell's potential and abilities and can help him to improve and get better.

Rice is back at CB. You think he is an improvement over what we have? Or just more of the same?

Did he ever play as a CB?
