Chelsea will get Koulibaly

Ricky1985

I knew Kante was a sure thing to go to the money. He's a good player but, for me, not half as good as he gets praised for on here. I'm happier with Xhaka. Much more interesting player in my view.

Sane isn't anything to lose your shit over though, he's not one of those special talents that will leave his mark over a generation.

Too early to say that with such authority. The kid has a mixture of seriously impressive qualities. Could become something very special.

Anyway that's the top two spots in the league sorted, who'll finish third?

I'm going for Chelsea, City, United as 1-2-3.

Yeah you'd have to think City will be in there somewhere, it'll be just like old times.

Even if Leicester do nothing next year they have done enough for the next 50.

Yeah, he's giving them the output of 2 of their players. His defensive stats just blow everybody out of the water. It is the best in the entire history of the PL.

I wonder how will Leicester recover from this, particularly if Mahrez and Walsh leaves as well. They have made some astute signings to strengthen their squad but they would have to do more now to replace these players.

Kanté is an animal. Worried about Chelsea's midfield next season, with Fabregas, Matić and Hazard as well.

Chelsea look very strong

Mirth

A midfield of Kante, Fabregas and Matic. That will be hard to get past.

Qwiss

Its a good midfield but Chelsea still need a striker and have a rubbish defence.

Ricky1985

Kante's stats won't look anything like that next season though and it's an unfair comparison to players that played for a team that tried to be a possession-based side and did it very poorly.

Irishgunner

I reckon they'll line up something like this, not sure Fabregas will get a place in midfield. I think him and Hazard will battle it out for a spot behind the striker (assuming that Conte goes with a 352 anyway).

--------Courtois
------Cahill---Terry---Zouma
Cuadrado---------------------Azpi
------Willian---Matic---Kanté
------------Hazard/Fabregas
----------------Costa

Some serious running power in that team, if they can add in a starting CB they'll be very dangerous. No CL football will be a big bonus to their title aspirations too.

Hard to get forward with that midfield too.

Sevilla sign Brazilian Playmaker Ganso from Sao Paulo.

I remember when Ganso was hyped up to be the next up and coming world superstar alongside Neymar. He has sadly lost his way in the last few years.

Sevilla have also signed Franco Vasquez who has been quite impressive for Palermo is the last couple of seasons.

Did they not buy Batsy?

Sampaoli has apparently convinced Vietto to join them instead of Barcelona as well. He is really making some interesting signings there. I would say he is a coach we would do well to monitor in the upcoming months.

Also found it really interesting that Wenger admitted on Beinsports that he was after 2 Leicester players this summer, one which is obviously Vardy and the other Kante (why would we need another CM?). Killed the Mahrez links though.

That statement could easily be applied to us.

More in line with what we needed as well. Kante will be a decent buy for them but we needed a top passer there not an improvement on Coquelin

Pepe LeFrits

Vardy should have jumped when he had the chance.
