Leave emotions aside, we don't need a Kante type. Pogba-type is needed like food and air.

Kante is not a btb midfielder. He's either a DM in 4-3-3 or double pivot in 4-2-3-1. He doesn't have the technique, physical presence, finishing, last pass to be a more advanced midfielder. Sarri was heavily criticized for using him as btb last year and he struggled this year under Lampard when played there.

Well we have Matuidi so no - no immediate need but Matuidi is old and Kante is way better so even if its not for this year - Kante is indeed needed here...
Pogba - Even a blind man could sense we are missing him.. When Pogba leaved our mid immediately became much weaker and we havent recovered from it yet as Pjanic is good but I remember the amount of pressure put on Pogba here and he handled it very well (despite a weak start)...

Still hoping for the dream midfield of Pjanic Pogba Kante (or someone at least as good instead of Pjanic) - I can always hope but there are slim chances that we are going to have such a strong midfield in the next few years...

Noooo. Offer him a 2 year contract pls.
:agree: The guy loves us, he has Juve tattoos, only speaks positively about Juve, was caught streaming our CL game in the Bayern stands.

And the director who wanted him gone over conduct has been replaced by a guy who signed freakin Rabiot.

Vidal is destined to come back.

Spending huge money on Kante and then playing him btb is just a waste IMO. Sarri won't play him as DM, he needs a regista.

We missed an incredible opportunity this summer with Ndombele and Barella. For the money and wages we gave De Ligt and Rabiot our mid would've been sorted out for a long time.

Imagine the reception he'd get at the airport and in general. That goes for Pogba too, or even imagine both at the same time

Christmas gift to Juventini
