Whole team is overperforming obviously. But how is a player like this one a likely season wonder? I usually get when players are called that, but if you use him tactically how he is in Ranieri set up or in most set ups that need ballwinning/counters, and especially more so since he seems completely enough to contribute both defensively and forward with ease (he starts alot of attacks, true box to box), and runs for days out there, I fail to see how he wouldnt be bring his quality elsewhere too. Him and Mahrez should defenitely prove themselves worthy in most other teams they can go to. While someone like Vardy defenitely will need to play in same specific conditions to re-do the results he has right now. Very instinctive pacy attacker who needs space and right type of balls to function.


But Kante is basically a free running CM who puts in so much insane work and does it in tactically savvy way (reads sitautions nonstop). Most midfields would find good use for him. He is pretty much a Matuidi who is way less stupid (latter attacks eagerly but not too clever of a player). That level of insane energy put to good use is priceless for a midfield:

'This player Kante, he was running so hard that I thought he must have a pack full of batteries hidden in his shorts.
'He never stopped running in training. I tell him, "One day, I’m going to see you cross the ball, and then finish the cross with a header yourself". He’s unbelievable.'
:D


That it may be futile to try for him in current market is another matter.

IMO We should sign: 1) Top-Bad Season-Low fee players 2) youngster with WC potential in low free or 3) game changer guys like Alex Sandro

We don't need someone like Kante cuz if Cheesio, Khedira and Pobga are fit. Kante is gonna be a sub. We need guys like gundogan-verrati level who can challenge our starters for one spot so why we are gonna invest hard in a sub player.

Kanté would start over Khedira, no doubt. Vastly superior input.

Exactly
I want fresh back whoever hijacked his account
You don't know Fresh. Yaya is not black enough. Here's the question you ask. @Fr3sh, we should go for Kolo Toure no?

Regarding Kante, he'd walk into this team. Khedira is a more rounded package, but Kante's work rate would bring back a Vidal-esque presence in our midfield.
(I've watched almost all of Leicester's games this season. Yeah, I have been watching EPL :snoop:)

Kante is great at what he does but I would pass on him. I think he's more of a one style player. He fits Leicester nicely. I wonder how he would do in a team with 60% possession.

For his price, I'd rather go for a CM like Koke, Thiago, Verratti, etc. Great with the ball in possession and do their defensive work with pressing and work rate. Useful around the box. Basically, complete CMs.

My ideal CM needs to be able to play one-touch in tight spaces.
