Confirmed Transfer N'Golo Kante to Chelsea

[Graz]

Gutted to see him go but of the 3 he always felt the most likely.

A truly special player. Great to have had him but wish he'd moved abroad

Trying to look at the positives though:
We have Mendy, who we wanted before we signed Kante
We've made around £25m profit on him in one year
He won the league with us!


Alright, this massively hurts our chances of winning it again, but who was rarely expecting that or for that to have ever happened?

Just make sure we keep Steve Walsh and we'll find more gems like Kante

We offered him £100k a week before he left for the Euros. That's £5 million a year for 4 years.

Chelsea are paying him £7.5 million a year over 5 years.

How much more purchasing power does that get him? How many cars can you drive at the same time?

What can you buy for £35 million that you can't buy for £20 million? Absolutely nothing.

Seriously? Aye there's **** all difference between 20 and 37.5 million is there.

For a guy who turns up to training in a Mini, he doesn't strike me as a superficial money grabber.

He might be keeping it all to leave to some cats when he's gone.

A fantastic player.

Sad to see him go.

Very, very sad to see him go to Chelsea.

It can only be money and his agent that has driven his decision imho, so sod him.

Fantastic opportunity for our new midfielder - Mendy - to show us all why Walsh rated him higher than Kante.

Kante who?

Next.

If it was all about the money, would he not have gone to China?

Do tell! What is the difference? What can you buy for the higher amount that you can't get for the lesser?

Absolutely nothing whatsoever.

In London it's probably the difference between a shed and a bedsit but in the rest of the world it's quite a fair bit more money.

No doubt he can commute from Paris on Eurostar and not need the London suburbs, and with the state of the railway links these days the time involved in travelling would probably not be much different.

Message to Knocky.
That's how you use us as a stepping stone.

I like it.

Facebook is awash with comments and not just on City Facebook pages

Ngolo Kante is a dumbfuck. Won the Premier League with Leicester City that he never even imagined to win and qualified to play the Champions League that he just dreamt of playing in and now is moving to a club that isn't even playing the Europa League! Money can buy you players just like Chinese clubs, but can never buy you class just like Chinese clubs can't buy class! Leicester has apparently way more class than the club he just joined!

Genuinely sad about this, and not just for City, I think it's a bad move for the player too.

And the football revolution

 

[Mawsley]

I thought we'd get relegated without Cambi so I'm putting all thoughts about this on hold.

Good luck to him in his choice although, like others, I think he's made a spectacularly bad one.

And that. Business as usual.
