N'Golo Kante

wouldn't take him, I don't think he's legitimate sadly and it would come back to haunt us if we signed him.


Yeah, the entire season he just played where he conquered every team he faced and made albrighton and drinkwater look world class pretty much show him to be a fraud, coupled with outshining Pogba at his own game on the world stage last night. Definitely not legit.

Someone get the face palm gifs.

Mate Mahrez just put out performed our entire team, are you suggesting he's better (or as dax would say 'currently') than KDB, silva, nasri??

You measure success over more than one season chief, otherwise you'll end up with a Michael rickets every 1/2... He's decent, on current form, excellent, but using last nights game is naive to say the least!!

He didn't have a hot streak, he had a dominant season. I'd agree on judging a skill player or striker over a longer period, but you could see everything in him that is a constant and form won't change-work rate, tackle timing, quick hand off of ball etc.

While everyone is talking about Payet last night, just look at Kante's role leading up to that goal. It was 2 or 3 influential link ups to keep that ball in that zone to give France the chance to make something happen.

He has everything Makalele had and probably more pace to his game. We'd be mad to not be in for him, he has superstar all over him. Wherever he ends up next will see that team do great things.
 
They don't?

Bayern do, Barcelona do, both Madrids do. Juventus do.
Fuck me even Liverpool, Arsenal & United have 5 or 6 international centre mids.

Last year we had Toure, Fernando, Delph and Fernandinho.
Delph and Fernando aren't up to it at the highest level. Toure isn't anymore and going.
So that leaves us with two of the required standard. Plus an additional signing.
Leaving us three players of required ability.
One with injury issues, one in his 30's and a 3rd yet to be named.

That won't be good enough.

Name me the players at any of the clubs you mention that have 5 CM players at Fernandinho and Gündoğan level? We definitely need to strengthen but I think we'll sign one more and keep Fernando.
 
And as much as I love what kdb brings to the table, he's proven he isn't the man to press and chase. So those behind him need to be as eager as Kante. Perfect for Pep IMO.
 
I like his energy and he has a decent range of passing (cf. Fernando and Delph). I think we'd be in for him but probably been told he wants Arsenal.
