Kante's ability to tackle someone, sometimes end up on the floor, keep the ball at his feet and pass it forwards is what makes him a genius. I've never seen anyone else so good at that particular skill, and it is a skill.

The hype is fully deserved in my eyes. Put him in any of the top 6's midfield and they would be transformed in a way that only a top, top, player can do.
 
Put Kante in the Burnley team and they win the Premier League. He's that good.
 
Kante's genius is that I can watch Chelsea (for the first time since the thugs convention at the 1970 Cup Final) without overwhelming feelings of contempt and loathing.

Truly remarkable
 
The suggestion that Kante will somehow become an example for all midfielders to copy is plausible. He has revolutionised what we consider good, combative midfield play to be.

The suggestion that this will make him any the less wonderful and immensely effective is perhaps the most idiotic comment I've ever read on here..... and I'm including Superscout's list and Joe Fox's betting fantasy in that! Absolutely mental. He is a one off and deserves every moment of praise he is getting.
 
Have you even seen him live?

Of course, have you seen Messi live? Have you seen Burnley at all? They are not 1 player away from winning the prem. Give them Messi and they still aren't winning the prem, but go ahead and continue living in that fantasy world of yours.
 
Krammy with two goals as Hoffenheim win 3-1 in an important game against Hertha Berlin
 
Tom Parkes has been sent off for struggling Leyton Orient.
 
Might have been mentioned for the first leg but Kevin Russell currently managing Stoke U18s on ITV4.

Second leg of the FA Youth Cup but they are 8-1 down on aggregate.
