In terms of what he cost and wht he brings, piund for pound he is near the top of the tree, defensively and offensively, it's not a bad shout atm. Will obviously never score enough goals to be considered for most people though.

Easy singing also

Will be a major player for France and Chelsea in the coming years

A pure workhorse but a good one not one that runs around like  a chicken

Scott Brown would be first then Kante for me but we all have opinions Grin
Report clacherholiday2 March 14, 2017 5:45 PM GMT
scott brown was ruined by neil lennon at celtic

lennon made a career for himself kicking people and throwing himself into tackles for 90 minutes, he was brilliant at it, the kind of player fans love.  scott brown shows up at celtic with far greater ability than lennon ever had so obviously lennon has to get it into browns head that the way to win over the fans is by pretending to be a hardcase throwing yourself about.

from that point on scott brown didnt develop one inch as a ball player and spent years tryign to be the centeral midfield enforcer, which even after all this time he still doesnt suit.

Kante has not done anything outside the EPL where there are no top midfielders to come up against.

Wasnt that great for France at Euros and lost place in team.

If he does it with France or in CL then can start thinking of him as one of best. He has proved nothing at top level yet.

He was pretty good in the Euros IMO

In any case is Euro 2016 a better standard than the premier league ?

The centre mid in the official team  of the tournament was Joe Allen.

He looked decent at Euro but why he get dropped ?
Report scandanavian_haven March 15, 2017 12:13 AM GMT
Kante is clearly top drawer and without him Leicester have belly flopped in the league whilst Chelsea have been vastly improved with him.

Deschamps didn't know his best team, dropped Pogba and Payet at certain points and had Giroud up front in the final who's hasn't really pulled up any trees in last 7 or 8 years at Arsenal - along with Sissoko! Sissoko isn't good enough to get in Tottenham's team but get's in the French team, it's not a barometer for being of a certain standard.

That phrase "international level" is often a lazy clichy that pundits use anyway, what does International level mean? most international matces that a player plays during his career are against a standard that is far below the level of quality they play week in and out domestically, only have to look at qualifers, if you're a player in a top seeded side like England or France you wont even have heard of most of the players from the the other 5 or 6 nations you come up against.

Benzema/Lacazette would be in there instead of Giroud

Plus Dembele 40 million man

He is a good player, but clearly saying he's the worlds best midfielder is just hyperbole.

probably thinks this lad is just below himself

so best in world
Report n88uk March 15, 2017 1:08 AM GMT
International level is clear crap statement these days. Top level club football is much higher than top level international football these days. If anything international football is currently going through a lull where there are few power teams, whereas these days the top club sides are able to stack their sides with internationals.

Jackson Irvine international at Burton

Apparently turned down 100k a week wage rise in China so maybe International adds 000s to wages Grin

If thats the guy who was at Ross County hes a decent player.

Obviously not the most intelligent bloke if the above is true.
Report TheChaser March 15, 2017 4:34 AM GMT
Yes its him he was at Celtic and was expected to break into the first team

Few stories he admits he was offered near they figures but ended up deciding to help Burton

Did Clough not just turn down the Forrest gig also to stay

Hope they stay up
