To play devils advocate here, what do you think would happen if we offered Chelsea £80 million for Kante?
Is there anyone who wouldn't want him, and why?
We have the funds, do we have the ambition and arrogance?
Chelsea took Liverpool's then star man in Torres, and in the 90s the rags regularly took the best player from rival teams. Could we try it. Despite this season's results I still believe we are a bigger club than Chelsea, but to beat them we need to get better players after they've recently done very well in the transfer market. Taking one of their best would be a terrific statement of intent that we mean business.
No we cannot. And no we are far from being at Chelsea's level as a team atm so why would he join us?
