Stop Chatting this box-box thingy oga - kante offers virtually nothing from an attacking POV. He is a hard-working, ball winning DM/CM who is also comfortable with the ball at his feet.



Let's look at his stats, shall we...

2013/14 season at Caen (41 games)

3 goals
0 assists

14/15 Season at Caen (38games)

3 goals
5 assists

15/16 Season at leicester (40 games)

1 goal
4 Assists

This same fella has often been compared to Makelele and even sees Lasana Diarra as a role model, yet you continually bandy the box-box nonsense upandan.

You obviously don't know anything about the functions & qualities of box-box midfielders

Diademk07:
I wanted to see Pogba strength.. Whether he could make the transition to an orchestrating CM.

Oasis007:




Any United Fan waiting for Bailly - Smalling Defence Partnership..... gonna wait a lot or pray either of Bs gets injured!

GBR1:
29 shots 9 on target in this game vs Hull City. It usually takes us at least 3 games to achieve such stats under LVG.

Diademk07:
Lol!

We looked intense because Rashford came on. His raw pace and intelligent movement got us going.

I can bet we rarely looked dull with Rashford in the side in every game we played since his breakout.

Mourinho should be thanking Van gaal for getting the likes of Blind and Rashford for him.

No, son! Thou art sick.

The courses should be
1. medicine and surgery
2. Pharmacy
3. Medical lab science
4. Radiography
5. Nursing
It is very hard to see the graduates of these courses roaming the streets in search of job.

Diademk07:
Apart from the fact that the recent coach doesn't really support youth idea, La Masia hasn't being doing well recently. I would even wager that we have a better academy than Barca.

And don't forget, Pedro, Tello and Bojan were all given chances to claim a spot in the starting line-up before Neymar and Suarez were signed! It was because they weren't good enough the latter had to be signed.

For crying out loud, our youth team has won the titles for 3 consecutive seasons and that shows they are good. The last time they did that was with Petrucci, Pogba, Ravel Morrison and Lingard.

Wingback:
This is why I was trying to avoid the argument. Weren't you the one that asked for examples, I didn't even get it right but the winger raundeter guy came in. Abeg go sleep.

Do you know anyone in their academy, his stats? Look at Ajax they rely mainly on youth system and they flourished in it. Athletic Bilbao or something like that uses Spanish players mostly and they have been holding their own in top flight.


2 types of club...Money or Youth
City or United. And so far United will need the money route if it hopes for anything this decade.

sobmos:
Look at it from another angle... It's a welcome development, legalizing the so called "foundation fee" is an act devised by the Lagos state government to curb the incessant troubles by the land grabbers (omo onile)... Once you pay your foundation fee that's the end of the story, if after paying your foundation fee and you're still troubled by the omo oniles, that makes it illegal,and you can sue them in court.... If you live in ikorodu you'll understand what I'm saying, the omo oniles are the general overlords in ikorodu, after paying for a piece of land , the omo onile can collect it back and there's nothing you can do about it. People should look at this new law from a different angle, you'll find that it's the lasting solution to this so called omo onile brouhaha.

Funlordjnr:
So true! No wonder we collected 3-0 at the emirates and escaped with a 3-2 scorline in old trafford in which they created more chances than us!


Conceding 5 goals against an average title rival is down to superb coaching tactics plus solid youth involvement I guess!

DrinkWater10:
Varela cannot bench darmian talkless of valencia.
Regan Poole is not a DM so he cannot play in Carrick's position.
when last did munir start five competitive games on the trout for FCB.

Wingback:
I am not like Diadem and Co that argue all day, once I see the argument is heading to a stale mate I move.

But if you decide to drag me back feeling some kind of superiority think again .
They don't necessarily have to be starters, just Quality players that ply trade in topflight but you can take a good look at Messi xavi and Iniesta .


Or Lahm Muller and ex Swinesteger.

raumdeuter:
Barcelona - Pique Alba Iniesta Busquets Messi

Bayern - Hummels, Lahm, Alaba, Muller

Diademk07:
[s]You left out Ibra who replaced Rashford in the starting lineup or the likes of CBj, Varela who had left while TFM has hardly seen any game time.

And who's running around like a headless chicken? You mean the best CM in the league last season? An integral part of Leicester winning team?
Kante is more of a CM than that box-box cum attacking midfielder wannabe we have though. A pity Chelsea keeps deploying him as a DM when he's at his best as a box-box.[/s]
