Fox92 Posted 15 April 2020 Share Posted 15 April 2020 Newcastle fans will be unbearable. They’re already deluded and that’s having won nothing apart from the second tier in the last 50 years. Hope it doesn’t go well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RumbleFox Posted 15 April 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 15 April 2020 (edited) I see Kante linked with Real Madrid. I’d love for him to go either there or Barca. So wasted at Chelsea and I still believe that in his correct position he’s the best in the world. Would be chuffed for him to play for one of the elite teams, he deserves it. Would be nice also to see an ex Leicester player at Real. X Edited 15 April 2020 by RumbleFox 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played in the right position he’s the best midfielder on this planet but played out of it he looks lost at times. Poor management. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 15 April 2020 Share Posted 15 April 2020 What makes Kante unique is his ability to turn a central two into something as airtight and productive as a three. “Drinkwater (Pogba) in the middle, and Kante either side …” Sarri/Lampard Chelsea are built to play 4-3-3. Out of that formation, Jorginho and Kovacic have better passing stats, and Kante no longer gets to the left side much to recover the ball. He’s still been very productive, and if they sell Chelsea will obviously get much more than they paid us. Watch them make a killing out of something Leicester fans can see as a waste.

Ric Flair Posted 15 April 2020 Share Posted 15 April 2020 The wealth of these Newcastle potential owners means very little whilst FFP is in place, whether that soon changes given the current economic turmoil but until then there's only so much they can do. That said Newcastle already have half decent sponsorship and revenue streams and no doubt they will increase which can increase the ability to spend on players etc. Still a bunch of neanderthals though.

Wymsey Posted 15 April 2020 Share Posted 15 April 2020 (edited) Like Manchester United have been in the few seasons since Sir Alex Ferguson retired back in 2013, Newcastle do seem like a 'poisoned chalice' of a club. Don't know how they get such high home attendances, after what they've been through under Mike (C)Ashley. Edited 15 April 2020 by Wymsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 15 April 2020 Share Posted 15 April 2020 I can't believe Chelsea would be so quick to get rid of Kante if the rumours are true. The hype of that kid Gilmour who did really well in the last few games must have got to Lampard and if they seriously see him at this point as his successor then I'd be really worried as a Chelsea fan. Conte played Kante in his best position and they won a league from it with him being their best player. Then Sarri comes in and turns jorginho into a quarterback and pushes Kante further up to play as a box to box midfielder. I don't get it and for the good of Kante's career he needs to leave Chelsea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not straight away though. Man City got billions of pounds and didn't bring World Class in straight away. It took 5 or so years. Lets not forget it was Mark Hughes who brought in the likes of Kompany and Zabaleta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Blanchflower78 Posted 16 April 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 16 April 2020 On the subject of Newcastle, good luck to them. Let's be honest there will be more pulling in wealthy backers, more recently weve seen Wolves stock rising with theirs. For a club like ours we remain incredibly well run, sensible strategies for players and the model is about developing as much as possible, not to always seek the end product. Been sick of chelsea, man city dominating due to wealth. Liverpool have a slightly different model, Arsenal haven't really thrown much at it in years, spurs likewise. City struggle for crowds in their extended stadium, Chelsea's has a large tourist following, as does united and liverpool. Least the geordies are all local, working class, passionate and fill their place even when at the bottom! Happy to watch their new found wealth upset the establishment or blow up massively! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the following year when he won PFA player, he wasn’t as good as he was for us. I can’t remember a game in the last 2/3 years since Chelsea won the league where I’ve watched them play and thought Kanté has won the game for them. I’m just glad we’ve got Ndidi. Would have wanted Kanté to stay for the Champions League but we’ve got the better player now so it’s all in the past. He should’ve stayed for one more year with us, proved his talent in the Champions League and have gone to Real Madrid or Barca then. His performances don’t merit a move to either club off of the past 2/3 years and I’d be surprised if he’s not either a Chelsea or PSG player by September. I don't think Kante's 'entourage' have helped him at all. Some absolute horror stories came out about them last year, they sound like turds.

They have a large tourist following because of how good they are. Newcastle is a massive City with no big club near them. Their arch rivals are half an hour away. Everybody born in Newcastle is gonna support Newcastle. Plus they have a big nationwide fanbase. And the whole "passionate" thing? Is this something else Sky invented? I'm pretty sure every football fan is passionate. Edited 16 April 2020 by Fox92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
