[FA Cup] Chelsea v United

[tfco]

we have nullified the threat of Kante.

he has been subpar today

..and he was

11 v 11.

[tfco]

can't wait for them to come to OT.

will be a different game

[benteke]

How all thw other teams fell asleep while Chelsea was signing Kante is mystery. They simply dropped the ball...Kante is the deal.

Same thing i was thinking of. Unexplainable

Jose Mourinho wanted to sign Kante
But Kante said in his own words that he chose Chelsea

"It was amazing to have Mourinho call me, even though I'd been warned before how he would appeal to me," Kante said.

"I listened to his arguments about why I should move to United.

"But at that time I was hesitant between staying at Leicester or leaving for Chelsea.

"My discussions with them were already well underway. But when I spoke, I had a good feeling with Conte."

Because they left it too late and probably were busy trying to convince Pogba and his agent to accept 100million pounds. As for Arsenal..we know Wenger only signs them in his dreams...

[balo]

Has anyone seen Paul Pogba

Kante will be issuing a "release" statement soon.

[tfco]

MotM for me was the ref.

shame....

well, at least we know the man himself preferred Chelsea.

Fergie made a note about Kante early in the last season when everyone was raving about Vardy and Mahrez, so maybe all this stuff started even before the season was over.

More like he wanted to play in a midfield where he wouldn't be limited to being a water carrier for Pogba. Conte doesn't just see him as a traditional 4, that's why he was sold on the chelsea project. Money was never an issue and neither was club ambition. José failed to make the case and having watched the two French midfielders go at it twice now, it becomes obvious as to why kante bought into Conte's vision for him.

Wrt the other contenders, I think Liverpool would've been the next best fit playing for Kopp or Pooch at Spurs. But the financial end would've been a strain. Wenger frowns upon hard men and Pep loves ticky taka. Notwithstanding, I'm still surprised Roman got him relatively easily especially on the back of a 10th place finish. Not complaining tho.

Don't discount the Conte factor. A damn good coach, very passionate, and appears to be quite polite and cultured. He put on quite at show at the Euros, enough to make serious players want to play for him.

[Coach]

Forum needs a banter thread...Nevertheless..

#Another day in paradise

He cost ay-tee nine mi-llion quid
They wish they had brought Kante
Live on In-stagram dead on the pitch
A new haircut on Wednesday
Oh
Think twice
You spent 89 million and Paul Pogba's shite
Oh
Think twice
You spent 89 million and Paul Pogba's
Pogba's Shhh
(Laaaaa la la la

The 3 - 5 - 3 is really working great for Chelsea.

Herrera's had it coming, he's been a sneaky git for some time. Luck didn't just run out tonight, she took his wallet whilst he was sleeping and used the last of the loo roll.

Like Herrera is a "water-carrier" for Pogba? What hurts you is that your lover, Mikel, is a dumb player who only knows how to play one way. Modric, Xabi, Lampard, Essien, Herrera, Motta, Deco, Cambiasso, Costinha, Khedira, all played under Mourinho and he did not seem to "stiffle" them. So, why only your lover? Truth is that unlike Mikel, Kante is NOT a moron, and has the capacity to evolve, play with tactical intelligence and be as versatile as any manager would want. Truth be told, that is the reason, Conte went for Kante and used broom to sweep Mikel off to backwater chIna. At 29, he has already retired. That says everything you need to know about your lover.

[wiseone]

I said a couple of years ago (when LVG) was still in charge that Mark Red, Fellaini, and Wazza were the only players in the squad who look like they could handle themselves in a tear up.

In other news, that is the second time this season that Andrew Smith has been unfairly sent off. Against Burnley, he tried to pull out of a tackle, slipped and fell down - and Clattenburg sent him off!

Tell you what Rojo is a player i would go to battle with any day

A way must be found to blame someone for Kante making an adult decision to go to Chelsea

Chelsea were so defensive that they limited Man U to just 28% of ball possession. A new low for Man U this season.

Before the red card it was approximately 50-50% possession or something along the lines.

Of course! Kante saw the amount of water that he has to carry... And we all know how he suffered as a young child in france fetching water and having to carry the bucket on his head for 50 miles.
