Didn't realise he was that old. I know he's won 1 league title and world Cup but it feels like he's wasted his career a little bit at Chelsea. He could have played for a bayern munich Barcelona or real Madrid and completely dominated European football. He really was that good.

What a man.

 

If for nothing else than actually paying his tax he’d be a legend, but the best player in our best season too.

He really should have gone to Barcelona or Real. He was the best in the world at what he did for a good three or four years. Legend. I still think, for that one season, he’s the greatest player we’ve ever had. He really was a phenomenon. X

Wasn't he one of the few footballers who refused to join an offshore scheme and decided to pay full tax instead?

Sorry, that was an autoincorrect. Was meant to say paying, not lying

The role that Kante played for us, he hasn’t been given that role since the first year of his Chelsea career. If he has that role again he’d show he’s the player we know he is.

One of the finest players I've seen play for us.

 

I remember a strange feeling in the league win.

 

At the start when attackers approached our centre halves I'd feel pangs of fear.

 

But after a while I had this opiumesq reassuring feeling, that little Ngolo would casually nick the ball and turn defense into counter attack.

 

Incredible days.

I know I sing his praises all the time but for that one season with us, and the following with Chelsea, I really  don’t think I’ve ever seen a better player in that position. He was probably THE most important cog in that side. And what a smashing wee face he had. Sorry, Ill

stop gushing now, happy birthday wee man. X

Spot on. I actually never really felt nervous watching that team. I just always expected us to win by the end. Madness really.

Yeah it was weird. I felt nervous. But then I got used to the incredible happening. "We'll definitely not win this. I also expect a miracle in a couple of minutes. Ah yes, there it is."

Yeah I still thought we’d mess it up and not win the league whilst simultaneously never thinking we’d lose a game. I’ve never felt so nervous yet so calm watching us play.

I can remember just laughing at some games as he repeatedly stepped in to intercept or tackle an opposition player from seemingly nowhere. That's what people always talked about back then but he was also utterly brilliant at recycling the ball quickly and moving us up the pitch at pace after recovering the ball. Really wish he'd stayed one more season to see what that team could have done in the UCL with him in it.

 

It still rankles a little bit that he couldn't wait to leave at the end of that one season, especially for Chelsea who weren't even in Europe, let alone the CL. Like others have said, I think he could have done way better than Chelsea as a destination, given his talent.

Very good if you remember he wasnt a first starter first few games of that season but boy when he did start he was on it.I like the story about him running in to belvoir drive every   day when he lived in a flat near the ground and the club said you need a car so instead of a lambo or a monster range rover  he went and bought a mini

Waiting for the standard.... “hE dOeSnT pLaY fOr uS anYmOrE wHo CaReS” response from people so painfully insecure they feel like even the slightest admiration for a non Leicester player means you’re a plastic. X
