See N`Golo is going back to his Roots - Conte Kante ( one for the teenagers ) COYG.
16 Jul 2016 21:00:48
Wengers a persone kante for not signing him.
16 Jul 2016 21:08:12
Steve, you are a moaning old Kante. Let it go. We don't need a CM. Give Granit a chance plus Elneny, Coq and Santi plus Rambo.
We need a CF and CD with a winger as a nice to have.
I can't keep hearing you go on about Kante all summer
:)
16 Jul 2016 21:20:26
All summer, you wish, i'm afraid i will moan until wenger wins the league and that might be a mighty long time.
16 Jul 2016 21:30:49
Should have guessed and not underestimated you! :)
16 Jul 2016 21:38:46
Cazorla Ramsey coq Xhaka wilshere elneny. Why on earth are you moaning we haven't wasted 32m on another cm. And as good as Kante is it would be wasted as we have all those players there. Stick to some sensible complaints like no cf yet lol.

D16 i would have kante above most of our midfield and sell the rest, i rate him that highly. I honestly think he's that good he has probably won chelski the league with the rest of the players they have. We have got a lot of midfielders but not many are capable of guiding us to the league. He is a premier league winning midfielder for 30 mil, how many of them do we have.
16 Jul 2016 22:29:44
D16 for me i would have bought kante instead of xhaka, both same price, completely different cv. Yes we have xhaka and yes i have to suck it up and yes xhaka may turn out to be the best player in the league, it doesn't stop me having an opinion, like it doesn't stop people having a different opinion. It is only opinion not fact.
16 Jul 2016 22:34:24
Steve,
Xhaka could become a Prem League winning midfielder for £30m, if you give him a chance :-)
16 Jul 2016 23:13:29
Kante is, xhaka maybe dags. Same price, just saying. We could have actually bought the talent that is 100% there and didnt.
16 Jul 2016 23:40:33
Steve,
Who was Kante 12 months ago?
Nobody had heard of him.
16 Jul 2016 23:48:45
I know it's you're opinion with every post I may not mention it but I respect everyone's. But I think especially in the midfield area you shouldn't concentrate on what we don't have and appreciate what we do have. Maybe Wenger thought Xhaka would suit us more with his long ball passes I dunno. Remember Bayern unless I'm mistaken was watching Xhaka last summer. We've got him. We should be happy move on and look for a CF.

Wenger admitted he knew him, he's one of the oh so many players we nearly signed and Wenger tries to look like the man who knows everything.
If he's so all knowing how was it possible that he came out with the same line about so many players last season, "I've known of (insert player name) since his school days but didn't think he was ready'
For the record all of the midfielders mentioned as a reason not to try for Kante other than Coq are not dm's.
17 Jul 2016 01:46:08
Dags but they have now. And that's not a maybe. lol.
17 Jul 2016 01:51:53
Look i'm a massive kante admirer, the guy is emmense, i'm really disappointed he isn't an arsenal player because I truly believe he is one of them players that are on a different level. I wanted him at arsenal to, in my mind help win the league. he's not here he's at chelski and i'm jelous. Xhaka could make me change my mind, but for me kante would have been one of them special signings we all crave.
17 Jul 2016 07:02:25
I don't remember reading any of this when Kante signed for the Foxes last year. He had a great season, 1 great season, as a box to box midfielder. We have a bloke named Ramsey who can (should) play as a box to box midfielder. Does Kante's 1 great season mean he should be in our team over Ramsey? I remember Ramsey having a great season a year ago.
17 Jul 2016 10:31:14
Outback with all due respect, ramseys a very good player, but have you seen kante, he can't do what he does, i'm sorry different gravy. Does it matte or does it make a difference we hadnt heard of him a year ago. I hadnt heard of marez, or payet in that respect but it doesn't make them ant different today.
17 Jul 2016 12:02:33
I agree with Steve on this one based on last season if we had the chance to sign him then its a massive loss for us.
having said that if i am correct i remember Wenger saying he knew of his but the reason that he didn't go for him was because he was very inconsistent and maybe this is one of the reasons that Wenger went for granit. who has been consistent (although in another league) for a few seasons now.
17 Jul 2016 12:33:51
If it was a bidding war - 30m would not have been the end price as CFC would have kept offering more. So 30m may not be a fair reflection. May be Kante stated he wanted CFC all along - who knows.
