N'Golo Kante

Anzac

He's likely to have his pick of CL suitors the way he's going at the Euro's.

#PSG sporting director Antero Henrique currently in London to negotiate N'golo Kanté transfer. Player interested in move but wants to know who will be new #CFC manager before deciding (France Football)

Also look at pages 1-3 for some comedy posts

Haha. Time flies. Our profile has dived.

LOL at folks thinking he's no better than Coq.

Nice edit 🙂

Fortunately some other person quoted one of your original posts-

"Yep, pretty much. That's why I said he's be a good but not great addition to our pool of midfielders, because he could probably play with either Coq or Elneny, but I don't think he'd be a noticeable improvement on either."

if we are going to play 3 midfielders with ozil ahead of them, then i like the idea of kante. he can sit in the center and break up play and he can run for days. he isnt a technically brilliant passer, but his job would be to break up counters and get the ball to the two other CMs. id be fine with that. if we are going to play the bullshit 4-2-3-1, then i think we need a more well rounded CM

could have been worse, i guess, lol

Phew, I wanted to sign him as well.

I don't even think the comparison is apt. Whenever I see Leicester it is Drinkwater who plays that disciplined, mostly defensive role that is the most similar to how Coquelin plays for us (although Coquelin admittedly looks a bit more adventurous offensively when playing with Elneny). Kante, to me, plays more like an all action central midfielder rather than a purely defensive stopper.

Kante gives the impression of being all over the pitch, at the same time. Certainly doesn't fit the bill of 'disciplined player who 'just' protects the back 4'. Closest comparison for me would probably be how Ramsey played when he was in God mode, except for Kante not scoring.

Rex wrote:
If Kante starts scoring more, for whatever reason, then most likely it will be because he gets forward more than he currently is. Ergo, he certainly isn't playing as a positionally disciplined defensive midfielder then. Even now, when he is playing much more as a box to box midfielder, he isn't really either scoring or assisting. Now, I'd like to point out that I don't really think either of those things are really why he is on the pitch, but I find the notion of Kante scoring more just because he is at a bigger club fanciful.

No ninja edits from me, and I quite like what I wrote back then. 🙂
