Leicester sign Mendy for Club Record Fee

not seen much of him but from what I've read about him seems like he's a very similar player to Kante, if he's anywhere close to being that good then its a great signing for you guys

Cheers Dani - apparently there are differences between Mendy and Kante - Mendy is a quicker more central midfielder who is a true box to box player. A better range of passing than Kante but not as effective defensively, so would still expect a like for like replacement if Kante does go

Juve have been linked with Kante this week, in the Italian media its said he prefers Chelsea but Ranieri would rather sell abroad

Yeah i heard he prefers Chelsea.....

Kante is leaving no doubt but we wil need someone else other than Mendy to replace him.

You queried whether I had seen him play on another thread yet going by your comment "apparently there are more differences between kante and mendy" I'm guessing you haven't seen him.

Fair point and that's bad wording on my part. A lot of news articles are talking about the comparison with Kante and that's what I was referencing. I should have said 'according to...'

I'm no Ligue 1 expert but I have watched a number of matches over the last 2 years. I really like the league and get access to live streams through Streamboxtv.

I watched Mendy when we were linked to him over 12 months ago. In my opinion he's a different type of player and the articles I've read back that up too.

Fair enough

Good news on Musa though - surely?

I'm so pleased about that because for all intents and purposes he looked to be going elsewhere for a long time.

He looks a super talent to me

Good signing by all accounts as I have never seen him play but I know that he was very highly rated after Nice,s impressive season. Also in regards to Musa another I don't know too much about other than that he will add even more pace to our already rapid squad which is always good, looks like Champions League football has helped sign Musa too.

the reason I'm hopeful of a Juve move is apparently you're interested in our young boy Mario Lemina who could be used as a makeweight in the deal, i really don't want him to leave tbh, but Kante is obviously ahead of him in the development of their careers atm.
