jonthefox Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 I met a Bloke in Spain in the summer who played a small part in Steve walshes set up. He told me the kante to Chelsea deal was done in January. It was only the chance of being part of something historic that kept him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that we actually signed him on the basis of giving him a years experience in the PL on behalf of Chelsea and it all being agreed before hand .

Oldinnblue Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 FFS, get a life some of you, Kante is brilliant for Chelsea just as he was for us, they will win the league this year. Can someone tell me how unfit Matty James is that he can't get any time on the pitch in front of King, when we won the championship with Drinkwater and James in the middle we were awesome and those two together again would see us climb the table.

Oldinnblue Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 King is a championship player, James played all of the season with Cambiasso, he's a proven Prem player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 Matty James obviously isn't the same player since the injury. Kante was gone anyway, if we'd stopped him going Chelsea he would have gone a CL club for the minimum fee. The club did well to squeeze a few million more out of it.

If neither Id say its more hearsay bollocks. Its amazing how many people are in the know when the reality is they know **** all. I used to work for a company who had an agent who was a West Ham youth scout. He would go around handing out his business card with the Hammers logo to tell us that he is part of the club. Thats great for him, However, when this idiot started talking about West Ham it was like he was sat in the boardroom when decisions were made and about a tenth of his crap actually were true. Id go as far to say if I guessed stuff I would have got more right. As for Kante and his performances. We know he was a special player and despite being asked to be more advanced in some of the thing he does for Chelsea he is still special. He is allowing there attacking players to flourish with his superb work. However, the reality is he has gone. We need to start hoping the likes of Vardy harry and hustle and start scoring, Mahrez needs to start dribbling and making chances and scoring goals from nothing and virtually every bugger needs to somehow find last seasons form. Its OK harping on about Kante but the reality is the rest are making him look better because they are playing like dogshite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49er Posted 10 December 2016 Share Posted 10 December 2016 I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I would happy to see Kante lifting the premier league trophy this season. He was a quiet unassuming guy, who stayed out of the limelight, but was the key to our success. Also, Chelsea's determination to avoid Spurs overhauling us is something to remember as well. For me, I would far rather they won it, then Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham or (extremely unlikely) Man Utd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the injury James had, I don't ever think they come back from it, always a fear in their minds it will go again, sadly the player James could have been, I doubt will ever happen now.

Same height, playing style, position... No doubt they have a lot in common. There is a lot of mutual respect there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Clender Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 "N’Golo Kanté’s departure to Chelsea has left a huge hole, not just in terms of tackles and interceptions made by the Frenchman in the centre of the Leicester midfield, but also because his industry rubbed off on others, almost dragging the team higher up the pitch at times to press opponents more aggressively" Guardian report today, 21/01/17. I wonder when the Kante mentions will stop. It reminds me of the ice game Curling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
