Kante? They’re completely different types of players, though I’m sure Matt Palmer would enjoy the comparison. As you say, Kante at his best runs, tackles, gets into the opposition half and makes things happen. He was fantastic in the Champions League final last year. We regularly got swamped by the better sides in this league last season.
Obviously we need different types of players, that’s why I said Palmer was more effective when he had Vincent beside him. For whatever reason Burchnall didn’t rate him, let’s hope he or one of the new recruits works out better this season. The early signs last night were good.
If someone is offering 100k plus, I’d snap their hands off.
