Good. At least someone sees what I see. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but Dihno gets carded for half the tackles he makes.Haven't read the topic. Had a few pints. Watched 15 Leicester games. Dude is a
Fking monster. He will get soooo many cards for city that he doesn't get now. Refs can get fked.
Honestly one of my favorite players to watch play right now. A. Monster.
Agree with this. But it could just be that I'm a snub.Not for me, yes he's been phenomenal, but for me it's down to the system and style of Leicester. He fits them like a glove, when at a team like ours I highly doubt he'll have the same impact.
We do, however when we don't have it we're utter, utter, utter shite. So, if he's good when we don't have it, then he's worth his weight in Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.
Due to Leicesters system, he is able to just sit deep and boot the ball forward. It's the easiest job in the world being a defensive midfielder in a system that is really, really deep.
In our system, Pep or Pellegrini, he would have to be able to use the ball well, pick a pass and be composed. From what I've seen, he won't be able to do any of them things at a level that is expected of him.
No thank you. He will never do well in our system.
They are similar without the ball, but Vidal is actually good with the ball, which is the difference. Vidal isn't just their to chase the ball like a dogGuardiola signed Vidal for Bayern and plays him every week. Similar player to Kante - unbelievable engine, reads the game well, presses superbly, good passer.
Kante - 30 appearances, 1 goal, 25 chances created(3 assists), 82% pass accuracy(highest in the team), 96 tackles, 126 interceptions, 53 clearances, 9 blocks(total of 284 defensive contributions)
Fernandinho(Most alike) - 27 appearances, 2 goals, 23 chances created(1 assist), 88% pass accuracy, 64 tackles, 46 interceptions, 43 clearances, 3 blocks(total of 156 defensive contributions)
Though given how much Kante would likely cost i'd rather go for Idrissa Gueye who in my opinion has been just as good but gone under the radar due to how shit Villa have been.
Vidal and Kante are similar players? Okay thenGuardiola signed Vidal for Bayern and plays him every week. Similar player to Kante - unbelievable engine, reads the game well, presses superbly, good passer.
That's an advantage for Kante, as he doesn't have lazy world class teammates who only work on offense.I'd like to see stats about yards covered and proximity to the opposition ball carrier. There'd be a huge gulf, plus lets not forget Kante is doing it without being surrounded by world class talent.
He's nothing like Fernando, at all. He's very good on the ball actually, especially at setting up counter attacks after he wins possession. He was excellent at Caen before he came to Leicester, as an all round midfielder, not a defensive midfielder. If you were comparing him to anyone in our team it would be Fernandinho.Kante is like a Fernando but with worse passing. Everyone here loving him would hate him if he joined us - he is a headless workhorse tackling machine with little ball skill.
Yeah it has worked this year with Leicester, doesn't mean we should sign Huth or Morgan ether.
Edit - so for me a Massive NO!!!! - would be expensive because of his success this year and to be honest - he is a poor passer that works hard - I wouldn't want him at City even if he was cheap.
Hit the reply button, bottom right.'He's very good on the ball actually' - no idea how to do quotes- but you can't be serious - given the context of our ambitions he is pretty atrocious on the ball.
