Statistically speaking he's as good if not better in most aspects.

Its not overhyping, its stats.

My brother let’s humble ourselves. Kante is a 2 time Epl winner and was arguably the best player in those 2 teams. There’s no way ndidi (good player) is better than kante

If Ndidi was English he would be hyped to kingdom come...
...which are huge and cannot be ignored.
So using the word 'better' is inappropriate to put it mildly

I think we can all agree at one thing: Ndidi is way ahead of Kante at the same point of their respective careers. At 20 Ndidi is arguably the best player in a top ten EPL side while Kante was a sub at a French third division side.

Everyone peaks differently who gives a heck how good kante was at 20. We’re comparing the of them presently and although I️ believe ndidi has the talent to surpass Kante in the future, he is not better than Kante now

Humble "ourselves?" How do you humble yourself to ignore statistics? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Marutimon is laying out statistic.


Anyway, Kante has influenced two teams significantly to win the league. He is influential :clap: :clap:

We are talking about CURRENT stats not History........................As of TODAY Ndidi is playing better than Kante, Kouyate and Gueye.

Kouyate is not even close to Ndidi's level and Gueye is not as good as Ndidi.

Ndidi and Gueye are at the same level currently but Ndidi has MUCH more potential. I think that Ndidi will be clearly a better player over the next few seasons.

I think comparing Kante (or Gueye) and Ndidi is sort of pointless, as they are different players.

Kante and Gueye are fast bunny rabbits, while Ndidi is more like a Yaya Toure battering ram, but for now without the finesse. Nonetheless Ndidi has already had signs that given time he could be another Yaya Toure. We already know he can hit them, but he's also adding long passes, improving his general passing as well as his awareness and starting to make the odd forward run. Not to mention Ndidi is a beast in the air, much like Toure.

Add to that Toure never was a great DM. Ndidi's tackling abilities already far outshine that of Toure and he is obviously way more mobile than Toure ever was.

However you look at it, Nigeria needs a playmaking midfielder to augment Mikel and Ndidi. How I wish Keita was Nigerian!

You wish everyone was Nigerian. Be happy with what you have.
Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT
