erlee Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Of all the people they let Kante go - because he is not that outspoken ..& didn't score too many goals BUT they upgraded half-dozen contracts

Well he signed a new contract in August so I imagine it must have taken him up to 30/40 k per week. Prior to that probably 15k from his initial contract when he came over.
AmarteyAndChill Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Chelsea wouldn't be in the top 4 without out him.

We didn't 'let him go' . We did bloody well to get 30mill + for a player with a 20 mill release clause

MattCan Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 The trio Vardy-Mahrez-Kante should have never been tempered with, but Abrahmovic and the other vultures were waiting on the door steps.

Wymsey Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 He probably would've helped in clearing up the numerous poor passing recently made mainly by Morgan and Huth, and hence maintain ball possession and start up a counter-attack for Gray and Mahrez - so his presence would have been of much benefit, as Amartey hardly tackles whilst Ndidi is starting to get into the English game more.

China Black Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 The existing players performing at the level, or close to the level they performed last season would have made the difference. There's no way we'd be struggling against relegation if that was the case.

norwichfox Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 I rather fear that he would have been dragged into the mire with the rest of this shoddy shower, he did well to escape from here....

maddog Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Often when a player moves to a club they say 'oh he's worth 10 points more a season to them' Seeing as Kante is worth two players and does the work of two top players I would say he's worth 20 points more a season. What a pleasure to see him play for Leicester for a year.

MattCan Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 I still believe that the departure of Kante (although it doesn't explain everything) makes more sense to me as being a major reason for this season's bad form, more so than all the other reasons I've heard so far. I reckon it has to be much deeper than that.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 Can't help but think back to that West Brom home game he missed towards the end of last season where we ground out a draw against a pretty average side... Maybe we could see then that we weren't anything special without him. Thank God that was his only injury last season!
Guest Col city fan Posted 13 February 2017 Posted 13 February 2017 He'd have made a huge difference. He really is fantastic at what he does. I so miss his pace, his enthusiasm, his effortless ability to win the ball. Was it Rudkin who gave him his buy out clause? If so, the man needs sacking.
