Lol why doesn't he just leave why does he have to delete everything.
I do think he's a nice lad I just can't get away with interacting with him without him annoying the shit out of me.

Kante will get found out somewhere else, France looked a lot better without him in their team at the Euros after the first game.

Why has he got the face of someone twice his weight?

Who was saying Kante was shite before? Not Just Stoo, someone else was at it as well.
Fucking great player. Not amazing technically but good enough, doesn't really matter though when you're physically twice as strong, fast and fit as everyone else.

I was trying to hunt that down earlier coz I remember you asking what he'd been like early on and you'd only seen the Arsenal game or something, and I remember saying he's been different class but everyone was shite against Arsenal so be harsh to judge him on that. May have been @djed who spouted the FAKE NEWS that he was overrated

I feel like it was LGIG but not certain at all.

Arguably POTS for two years running in two title winning teams. How close is he to already being considered in the 'Vieira/Makelele *the black, french, hard-working midfield* pantheon'?
I'm currently working on a little long-term project and Vieira is gonna come out near the top of all-time greatest PL players - I've worked my way back to 97-98 at the moment and Vieira has been in my last 4 team of the season's so I'd say Kante has aways to go to reach him but I think he has a decent shout of reaching that sort of level if he sticks with Chelsea and doesn't move to Madrid/Barca - which would kinda seem a waste as he seems so suited for PL.

i said he was shite in the first game against Romania in the Euro's, pretty sure that's the only criticism I've ever given him.

I don't think Barca would ever have Kanté, just not good enough on the ball (despite being ok on it, but not for their style). Real are very volatile, and it depends on the manager, but Casemiro looks like he's settled down there in the holding role and isn't going to give it up any time soon. He's younger than Kanté. So I think after that, Chelsea will offer him more money than elsewhere, and if he moves, he's more likely to stay within the Premier League. I'd say that Kanté is equal if not better than Makelele, over his career Makelele is better but strictly Premier League, Kanté is probably operating at a higher level. Vieira on the other hand is a different level, there's a clutch of midfielders from the PL golden era that are hard to touch - Vieira, Keane, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard. Vieira was a world-class player who gave his peak years to Arsenal, as you said Kanté is going to have to keep it up for a good few more years to be considered better. I'd argue that he'd need to be in more TOTY than Vieira to be considered better, when you consider that Vieira will probably always be better offensively than Kanté.

Kante being on more TOTY over the years than Vieira won't automatically make him a better player. Vieira is one of the greatest of all time in his position, over a number of years. TOTY isn't the be all and end all to someones ability. Kante has been incredible for a couple of seasons, but he has a long, long way to go to be considered in the same category as Vieira, let alone better.

Yeah it's only a somewhat meaningless award, look at Aguero never getting in it, Silva in it once, Scholes in it only twice. No Azpilicueta this year but Gary Cahill in it. But if Kanté is in it 5 or 6 years in a row, and Chelsea are winning things, then it's a sign he's keeping up the high standards of the likes of Vieira.
