Defensive Midfield Targets/Options

Just do what it takes and get the best there is; Kante.

Chelsea will probably change manager again, have a possible transfer ban looming and may not even have CL football the way the league table is shaping up. We should stop scraping the bottom of barrels or hoping someone average most people haven't heard of comes good enough to replace the key part of our team, and just slap down an offer they can't refuse in summer.
Give Pep a choice between Kante and Jorginho , he'll take Jorginho.
 
Would be absolutely fine with Rodri being the choice this summer. Weren't there rumors of them giving him an extension upping his release clause though?
 
So far it worked with you only Dax)

But seriously, we're running out of options, I can't suggest any other suitable candidates. Ndombele is brainless, Aouar and Lo Celso are too small and fragile, Saul - too expensive, Rice lacks quality on the ball. We'll end up with Zinchenko as DM this way.

If Gundogan doesn't sign a new contract I'd take Aouar. Even if he's not an out and out DM he could probably do the same as Gundo. Play in the dual 8 or when Dinho is out play as DM. But if we're talking someone strictly to for Dinho's position I think Diawara could be a good option.
 
@Dax777 what do you make of Lo Celso as potential Dinho replacement? He's definitely gettable, though we're not the only one interested.

I haven't seen any link to us. But to be fair, I'm a part a minority who don't think Dihno will be hard to replace.

The player, might not play like Dihno, but we might be better. Just like we are better now without Yaya, even though prime Yaya was unique.

Rodri, Tonali, Auour, Llorente or someone of this Ilj will be that player and we'll thrive. Lo Celso strikes me more as a Bernado Silva type than a metronomic DM. But he is gifted. Didn't know we were interested though.

Wouldn't mind at all if we took a punt on Llorente if the price is right. He's being wasted in Madrid.
