RichM He’s our number 2 player behind Palmer and he’s not far behind him. Even your guy MacAllister said he’s the toughest opponent he’s played against in the premier league - more than Ballon D’Or winner Rodri. Plus Scholes said he’s dogshit, so he must be world class. I guess it depends on what you rely when you say he should be talked about more as an amazing player, because there have been many comments in the past from more trustworthy pundits, current and old players about it. Or you could just watch the games and make the judgement yourself.
The price tag was partly due to his age and potential. Is he as good as Kante was? No, but he’s younger and he could be. Calling him a pound shop Kante is crazy though. We’re definitely happy with him and let’s see what happens next season.
