Comparing Kante with Busquets to me is like compare Vardy with Suarez. Why do u do that?

I watched some Leicester game and his pass skill r way too limited. He's a great DM for a Team without a good system and a good MF or a midtable Team... IMO he's not worth for us but I admit that 25m is very appealing...
Just compared 2 players who play the same position and same role.CDM.
And suprise suprise but Kante's stats are better.(better than Matic's too)

We have a worldclass midfield with Pogba, Marchisio, Khedira, when all are fit (aka when the moon alligns with the sun on the day easter falls on a monday and B_aus isnt drunk)

So we established, we dont need starters, we need depth.
So we got Pjanic. Starting Qualtiy CAM, but also high quality offensive cm option. Excellent, tactical options.
We got a ton of workers that can play CM. Actually, too many. We lack a natural CDM.

Kante is not a worldbeater, far from it. And people who thinks he'll make a difference, are overrating him. But he provides a very specific value to the team, and its exactly what we need

CDM's : Marchisio(complete), Pjanic(creative), Kante(defensive) , Lemina (for now, a complete talent)
CM's : Marchisio (complete support) , Pogba (fuoriclasse), Khedira (complete at turtlespeed), Stu (work and fight), ...w/e


Thats excellent.
Exactly.
We have no one who can really play the CDM role NATURALLY.(and not covering like Hernanes,Lemina...)
Be responsible for defensive duties,destroying opponent attacks and distributing passes forward and that's it.

A mad dog like gatuso to get the ball and just pass it to the creative guys.

1st, Kante plays as a CM for Leicester, not DM.

2nd, if we used stats to determine how good a player is, im sure we would have people arguing that Matuidi is somehow better than Pogba or like in your case, Kante than Matic. im sure there is even some fool saying Kante is better than Mascherano because he has 4 tackles and interceptions per game playing for the underdog team in a run and gun league

Ofcourse stats is not everything,and i actually didn't see him in action besides the euro's in group stage(he was good,has an assist).
I used the stats to just question how can he be a bad player when his stats are very good tbh.

He's passing that bad?
Curious how he manages to create chances,key passes,has few assists.(again according to stats only)

Kante isnt the perfect mid I agree and I agree his passing skill isnt the best and I`ll even add that his heading game isnt world class either... However I do think that Busquets isnt that great
Agree but it's not fair to compare someone like Busquets with Kante.. When Busquets is playing shit or out you could tell inmediately in a farca game

Could u please send an email to Deschamp and explain him? Germany-France game would be a better one

Where did the word 'worldbeater' even come from?
Someone described Xavj anf Iniesta with it when they were impossible

Kante is the player with most interceptions last season in the premier league. He also has exceptional passing and understanding of teammates. As for a CDM in form, he's almost incomparable.
Roflmao nope

Yes, and what we want is high quality depth. Which he is. Kante isnt a starter here when all are fit.

Yeah :tup:
hes not a bad player, but limited offensively and not the type of player we need. if we do sign him, it will be for the 5th CM spot and he wont be a starter in our current midfield

if i was coaching France we would win vs Germany. Pogba would destroy them

We'd sign Kante as quality bench option
