took Juve to 5 scudettos and 2 coppas and 1 CL final and 1 quarterfinal as our main formation. Took the worst italy squad in history to the quarter final of the euros beating Sweden, Belgium and Spain in convincing fashion and losing out to Germany on penalties. Useless formation

Kante actually proved his qualities over the course of last season. He was the best DM in the EPL for a year (one of the best in Europe) and was an essential part of the trio that did the Ranieri miracle. He works incredibly hard, is one hell of a tackler (4.7 tackles per game on average) and is great at intercepting passes (4.2 interceptions). These are stats over the course of an entire season not a small sample of games. He has been an absolute monster for lester defensively.
For some perspective these are vidal's stats (2.4 tackles) and (1.3 interceptions) at Bayern. Kante's defensive numbers are like Vidal's at Juve and lverkusen.
So no Kante is not overrated. We are all in agreement that he isnt a good passer and that his role at Lester didnt require him to be one and so played to his defensive strengths. We could use a monster ball winner like that to give freedom to pogba and pjanic.
Lemina has been alright as a sub for us but is far from the proven quality that Kante is. He has different attributes anyway. I'd definitely swap them we would be getting a monster of a ball winner who is experienced and is a big game player. I'd go for Kante regardless of Lemina's status. He can be very useful for us especially that we havent had that kind of ball winner since vidal left.

My Grandma would average 2 tackles per game in EPL, let alone someone like Kante. Those stats arent that special, he plays in a league that has the most possesion changes per game in Europe and for an underdog team, ofcourse hes gonna have many tackles and interceptions. What i saw of him for France was enough really, hes a guy that runs a lot and covers a lot of ground but is very limited on the ball. And his limitations is exactly the reason id stay away from him. Vidal was 10x the passer he is yet he still struggled in some games against top sides. If you can't pass the ball and are generally useless on offense you have nothing to do on the highest level and should play in England for the rest of your life. Now, the comparation with Lemina is a bit unfair. The kid is still 22 and his potential is higher than that of Kante. I never said hes better right now, but potentially hes better than Kante will ever be. Definitely wouldnt want to lose him so easily, so unless he asks for a transfer we shouldnt "sacrifice" him, especially not for Kante. If we can get Kante without selling Lemina and no better options are available OK, get him, he will do fine as 5th CM for a year or two, but not at the expense of Lemina. Thats all
In a few years, you'll remember how you once wanted to swap Lemina for Kante and you will laught at how idiotic you were
