He's still a 24yo, was one of the biggest DM talents a few years back and did not work out in a dysfunctional garbage team. I say he's worth a shot for loan with an option, shouldn't be our only midfield signing but as a backup he's ideal.

Definitely more promise in there than in Lemina, Sturaro, Rincon or Assamoah, sadly those guys will probably never improve enough to start for us. Kondogbia at least has some top level potential in him
He is physical and Id say he is solid defensive wise but I see no attacking contribution whatsoever...

Isn't it like this every summer?
For me, not really to be honest.

I know that there will always be a big sale, until we have the financial might to not have to do it anymore. So that part of it really doesn't bother me too much.

What bothers me this year is that it almost seems that we are throwing darts at a dart board with our eyes closed.

Do you see attacking contribution in Kante or Casemiro? I'm not saying he's their level, but he has the potential to get there IMO, the guy's a good athlete and it is crucial in nowadays footie

Kante you can argue that he sometimes like a dynamo Casemiro nope but they are special in terms of their defensive ability Condomgia isnt..
P.S we are rumored for Kroos - If we do want to splash some cash on a CM we can buy N.Keita instead of Kroos (who wont be sold anyway...)

Kondogbia has got that Patrick Viera type of physique, which is special in its own way. Id rather judge the guy on his Monaco not Inter days
