March 12, 20197 yr No chance of Kante leaving, he’s just signed a new 5 year contract and we can’t sign a replacement. Would take a mammoth offer from Real, close to £200m, for us to even entertain the idea of letting (If Hazard left) our best player leave.
March 12, 20197 yr Hopefully he'll stay, but they can offer him consistent CL football and a good chance of winning it, which we can't.
March 12, 20197 yr Probably not this summer but i can definitly see him leaving in 2020 if Zidane is persistant. He's said he want CL-football and compete for that trophy. And that is not happening here anytime soon.
March 12, 20197 yr Kanté has single-handedly allowed our midfield to maintain even a modicum of defensive stability this season. Letting him leave would be anathema; he is quite simply irreplaceable.
March 12, 20197 yr It would take a world record bid x2 for Chelsea to even entertain the thought of losing the BEST defensive midfielder (currently playing out of position, for a reason only God knows) on the PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 17, 20197 yr Even he can't do anything in this Sarri-System vs Everton. An absolute legend I feel so sad when he isn't doing well.
April 4, 20197 yr The unsung hero. I'm watching a replay of the Brighton Game... Something I didn't notice the first time. Just before Ruben receives the ball for his shot on goal, Kante made a run towards the top of the Penalty area. Two Brighton defenders drop back and close towards Kante. It opens up just a little bit of space which Ruben took advantage of. Yes... I have a crush on Kante
April 4, 20197 yr People say Sarri hasn’t improved one player this season but I think Kante is much better with the ball now, his movement is great and he still manages to appear from nowhere to save the day too.
April 4, 20197 yr I was at the game yesterday. I actually thought he was a little below par yesterday. Not a huge concern as we lost 3-0 but he seemed to lose out in the few tussles he had and the game seemed to pass him by sometimes. I was impressed with Bissouma for Brighton. Anyway, one of our least concerns as I think he is improving a lot in the CM position but just would like to see more consistency in him being a major influence in the game and taking control.

While he's improved in certain areas he's not been anywhere close to as good as he was. Last two years he was the best midfielder in the league. This year he's not been close to being that.

This year he's not been close to being that. Obviously he was great in his old role but I feel he’s improved overall as a footballer, both with his feet and with his head, this season.
April 15, 20197 yr This guy is usually at his best when the team doesn't have as much possession as the opposition but yesterday i thought he was average.
April 15, 20197 yr I thought he did ok and if he had scored with that headed opportunity would have been MOTM for me.
April 15, 20197 yr Great player whose passing needs to improve and who has to hold on to the ball better.
April 16, 20197 yr Just not a natural player going forward, it's like try making Mess into a deep player maker, he'd do it and be bloody good at it, but never going to be great. For his goal and assist return, I don't see his change of role has been a successful one. Sure, it may take time, but why changing something that's working while we had real problems to solve elsewhere? Flexibility and adaptability , Kante showed he got them, can't say the same about the manager.
April 22, 20197 yr Hopefully his injury isn't bad. It's bad enough that Hudson-Odoi is going to be out for months, this would just be like kicking us when we are already down.

April 23, 20197 yr He's been trying that left-foot finish for a little while now - glad to see he's pulled it off. Very nice finish. One of the benefits of having Sarri around is that Kanté has really expanded his game this season. Delighted that he's committed to us long-term, surely once Hazard leaves he will categorically be our most crucial player. Apparently he just has a contusion to the ribs and will be fine for the Man Utd game... thank God!
