For me he's exactly the kind of player Man Utd should've been striving to get alongside Pogba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Wenger wanted Kante but Chelsea, as usual, offered more money. You say that as if they spent £100 million on him. Or that Arsenal couldn't afford the £32 million Chelsea paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Agree totally but do we know for certain that United did not bid for him? I'd be surprised if most or all the top clubs didn't sound him out and/or bid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only go on what Wenger said - http://talksport.com/football/arsene-wenger-reveals-chelseas-ngolo-kante-has-been-his-radar-years-170203226509 Ahead of their meeting at Stamford Bridge on Saturday lunchtime, Wenger conceded he had twice been thwarted in moves for the former Caen player. "Yes. When he (was) in France, when he (was) at Leicester," he said when asked if he had looked to sign Kante. He then appeared to imply Kante had chosen Chelsea as his destination for financial reasons. Asked what happened in a move for the player, Wenger added: "There again, I cannot explain everything but it is quite obvious when you look where he has gone."

Bully Wee Villa Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 That was the only thing that should have seen him sacked If they are "certainly relegated", it's too late to sack him. A club has to do what they think is best for their future prospects, in Leicester's case that means picking a manager that gives them the best possible chance of staying up. Given their recent form, it's hard to make a case that there aren't quite a few candidates who would give them a better chance than Ranieri. Particularly if, as rumoured, he'd "lost the dressing room". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says Arsenal tried to sign him before he moved to Leicester; surely they didn't fail to compete financially with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ranieri was a bigger asset than some of the players IMO. I'd have sacked the underperformers before him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 You can't replace players outside of the transfer window. You can change a manager anytime. Would be interesting if that rule changed and managers couldn't be recruited out with the window. A shocking but not surprising decision. A log of those Leicester players need to take a look in the mirror. If they appoint Mancini I really hope they go down find him to be a really unlikeable c**t.

Bully Wee Villa Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I hate him too.Only because I had some dodgy "ITK" information that he was going to be the next Everton manager and it cost me fifty quid. [emoji15] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
