Kante regressed this season apparently

naturally this is when you buy, just like we should have bought SMS when he 'regressed' a year ago

Good point. It's just that he's already 29. If we had a functioning midfield I'd be all for it but I'd prefer something long term

See they do listen to me

On the real it makes sense, chelsea rarely hold on to players once they hit 30, so this as good a time as ever to cash in

Shame Kante would have been great under Allegri's Juve

 

[Robee]

He was great under Sarri as well and we could definitely use a decent ball winner in the middle of the park. Bring him in.

exactly. we didn't have any of this type of player since vidal was sold for some modest capital gain. emre can was a meh attempt, otherwise we didn't even try to sign ball winners for the midfield.

Matuidi?

 

[Boksic]

Matuidi?

Energetic and excellent at closing but not a true ball winner like a Kante.

I think Bentancur is out biggest ball winner in the squad certainly when you include interceptions.

 

[s4tch]

Matuidi?

not close enough unfortunately. i honestly like the guy, but matuidi's main strengths like tactical awareness, positioning and engine (or call it grinta) doesn't include touching the ball, tackling or intercepting.

agreed on the 1st part. about the stats, our best in that regard is actually alex sandro, bentancur is a very close second, with cuadrado 3rd. what is more surprising: even pjanic and rabiot do better than matuidi when it comes to tackles + interceptions combined.

Whats the point in signing Kante? 0 creativity. Ceballos would be a sweet move but he doesn't strike me as a good enough professional for Juventus.

Obviously; winning the ball (higher up the field).

 

[duranfj]

A cheap Kante sounds great but I want Tonalli and even I know Sarri use the frenh as B2B, not so sure about it would be room for both

Depends on the price

We should bring in Tonali as well

What's with all the ferran Torres links, is he any good?

 

[LiquidPLP]

Costa + money for Gabriel Jesus?

 

[Cerval]

Costa + money for Gabriel Jesus?

That'd be a terrible deal. I don't mind selling Costa but Gabriel Jesus is also injury prone and not that good to begin with. I rate Costa higher.

Seen too little to actually judge but I watched him against Atletico & Atalanta and he definitely stood out. He is a real threat on the ball, beating his man time and time again. At the right price -as always- he could be a valuable Costa replacement.

@GordoDeCentral

Honestly, no.

He's 29.

He relies on his athleticism and energy, and he doesn't have the technical ability to compensate once his legs go.

I wouldn't mind him here, but he's not someone we should spend huge money on.
