West Ham supposedly in talks to sign Kante for 20-25m…..surely based on this World Cup performances he’s worth a punt to provide cover for Rodri for 10-15 games

Too old
Not good enough in the ball
If rodri gets injured kante cannot remotely replace him in our team the way we play

Looked like he could still do it comfortably at the euros, same age as Kev.

Assumed savio would take 7. Do we think it's being held for someone?

There were talks regarding a attacking midfielder and a holding midfielder

Not that I think we will, or should go for him, but Kante was excellent at the Euros. Covered every blade of grass and phenomenal in stopping attacks.

Too old

Kante despite being "Too old", he is still a beast/machine. Barring injuries, I can still see him play till 38/40. Many more younger CDMs will retire or tire out way before he does. He is a runner, and we need such a runner, stopping quick counters, breakouts and attacks and sniffing out threats and nullify them!

I am not saying we should sign him!!!

Which CDM would be good enough on the ball for you?

That was ages ago before we knew Bernardo was staying and before we'd decided to keep Savio.Even at the time I thought it was one or the other.

Once Paqueta fell through Tolm then said about Olmo as the alternative so we are obviously wanting to add a proper AM hence allowing Alvarez to go if the money is right?
