I said it a while ago, Kanté is there for the taking. But with Chelsea’s Transfer Ban I’m not so sure anymore.

Kante cannot effectively play as a lone pivot (key position for all Pep teams), his passing/vision is below average. No wonder that he's struggling in Sarri's system in its attacking version - and Sarri can only use him as 8, not 6.
Rodri is a 22 yo DM in the mold of Sergio Busquets, the release clause is reportedly set at €70m.
Wonder if City are considering him. He's far more suitable for a lone pivot position than his teammate Saul.
Joined Atletico Madrid from Villarreal for €20m last summer.

What he says and what he does are 2 different things especially if we offer him the right moneyHe won't come back, he's already said as much.
Between the transfer ban and the fact that Sarri could be sacked tomorrow for all we know there's no way he's for sale.I said it a while ago, Kanté is there for the taking. But with Chelsea’s Transfer Ban I’m not so sure anymore.

He was arguably man of the match yesterday. But if the powers that be don’t want him that’s the end of the matterPretty sure we dont want him though.

Sarri has mentioned several times why Kante can't play in that role, Pep would most likely say the same thing, he just doesn't have the vision nor isn't able to play quick one touch passing constantly

The great man Fernandinho is not getting any younger and replacing him is going to be some task.
Here is a long shot to chew over Sean Longstaff. Thought he looked good for a youngster against us, but having watched him last night for Newcastle V Burnley he really does look a prospect. He was hitting long passes, scored, and was getting stuck in. Apparently he has a penchant for hitting shots from a good way out and often hits the target. Bagged a few at Blackpool last season whilst on loan.
