As long as Ngolo Kante is playing in the premier league and not for us, then the League title will elude us.

Some people know a class player, when they see one and some dont. We could and should have got him.

Steve many of us would have loved him here but ed02 has stated on a number of occasions he was going nowhere other than Chelsea so there was never a chance he was coming here unfortunately.

Stoner, i'm sure ed 02 is correct but in feb last year henry winter said kante was wengers no 1 target and he was certain we would get him. Since then something obviously happened because the only player to leave Leicester of note was kante, we didn't put up much of a fight and we ended up paying more money for xhaka early in the transfer window, i think ( and it is my opinion ) wenger chose xhaka over fighting for kante. Again opinion but winter is still adamant that we could have got kante at some stage. Something changed.

I hadn't heard about the comments from Winter Steve, I did also hear that Mourinho made a determined effort to get him to move to United it was just Kante wanted Chelsea and only Chelsea.
Not sure what his attraction was to them in particular but he clearly couldn't be dissuaded.
Cracking player and would have been great here. As for Xhaka he has a lot to prove on all fronts for me.

Oh dear raver a draw at one from bottom club Sunderland to draw level on points with us and your bigginf it up. Tell us the last time the Toot finished ahead of us in the league. The pain at the lane just goes on. 1961 and waiting.
