I also think Kante should not be here next season, a big salary and probably not suited to our style of play and also becoming more injury prone. Possibly although in the last few games I saw him nicking the ball as he always does. I'd be curious to see how he performs in his favorite position rather than being played as a forward!

No idea who this is and if it's a good or bad thing haha. Whether it's a good or a bad thing depends on how seriously you take yourself champ. On the subject of contributions to the forum you do have some interesting perspectives when you are not lecturing. If I can offer one piece of advice it is that brevity is the soul of wit.

Glenn Hoddle said the same and also said that Kante could be one of the best 'holding midfielders in the world' even now!!!!!.

At least have the balls to comment!! What's to really say, Kev? Just because Hoddle says something you agree with doesn't make it gospel. Mourinho once upon a time said if the likes of Solanke, Izzy Brown and Lewis Baker didn't make the England side he'd be to blame. Mangers, former managers, and pundits all say weird shit at one point or another. You certainly wouldn't pin the lacklustre careers those three had on Mourinho would you? It's been explained to you on countless occasions as to why Kante cannot play the "holding midfielder" role/position. There's really nothing else further to add to that. Kante biggest concern right now is going to be having a place in the side in any position, much less trying to convert him into something he's so far removed from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for us to part the ways me thinks. Believe it or not Kev, I'm not the problem here. This is obviously quite a challenge for you to process, but you're the one who refuses to take anything on board, but at the same time want people to justify their stance with an explanation. Of course, that explanation can only be simplified and brief because anything longer than a sentence or two automatically becomes "over analysed", "too in-depth" and whatever else. The one thing we can agree upon though is leaving it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Nice assist yesterday to get us going yesterday. His crossing is quite good form that position. Think he's got a few similar assists from that - Giroud's brilliant header in Seville comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
