Administrator Stan Posted March 21, 2017 Administrator Share Posted March 21, 2017 Barton's a massive cunt. What do I win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Kanté is brilliant, no doubt about it but he still hasn't done anything on the biggest club stage (because he hasn't been able to) and we'll see how he handles himself then. That would be my only question mark on him right now just to be picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK85 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 He clearly isn't but I do think there are certain times when people think he never does wrong. Seem to remember that video going around for their win against Swansea, he was lauded for bad play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Was discussing this earlier.Barton does have a point. Still a cunt though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think he isn't as perfect as people suggest, however he is class. Barton on the other hand apart from showing Ibrahimović how big his nose is, didn't do fuck all worth remembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil-Dick Willie Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Every title winning side need a player like Kante. He is not a genius messiah of football, so Barton may have a point depending on the context, but Kante is still great either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted March 21, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted March 21, 2017 Is Kante world-class? Depend on your definition I suppose but I think everyone would be lying if they said they didn't need a player like him in their squad. He exudes energy and is always the first to chase a mistake he's made and correct it. I'd take a player like that any day of the week. Barton is just doing his usual open-my-mouth dance because maybe his media stock is dipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 What more does Kante have to do then? He's about to win back-to-back Premier League titles and was part of a France squad that got to the Final of a major tournament, since when did the Champions League become a barometer of talent?

DeadLinesman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I can't believe I agree somewhat with Barton. He's got a fantastic engine, runs round breaking play up and plays the ball off. His stamina is world class no doubt, but he was being ridiculed first few games of the season for how fucking out of place he looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong. What he was a part of last season is tremendous and I think he's brilliant (I already said this). But he is rated to standards he yet hasn't achieved and if he were to excel in his position next season when Chelsea play the top European sides, then he will rightfully merit the rating he's getting. With this, I'm not saying he's overrated, just that he's put in a similar category to other players in Europe playing there and those others have proved themselves already.

The Artful Dodger Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The Champions League is awful at the moment, look at round 16. People scoring 4-5-6 everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Champions League isn't awful, what's happened is that there are certain teams in Europe that are on an astronomical level and what I said in my particular comment is that someone like Kanté needs to measure himself against those best sides in Europe and see if he dominate in what he does (in midfield) against his rival colleagues.

Cicero Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 He's right in the context that he isn't a brilliant footballer. Kante is an excellent athlete who has a great ability of tracking down and tackling his opponent. He does have more of a technical side than Makelele. But in terms of footballing ability, he's no way in the same regard as Iniesta, Zidane, Pirlo, Xavi, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cure Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 So says Joey Barton, one of the biggest twats in the footballing world, arrogant, violent and a wasted prospect. Kante is striving and growing rapidly into an interesting and respectable talent, more than could be said for him at any point in his lacklustre club career.

The Champions League is at its lowest standard for a long time, teams winning 4-0 and then the other team winning 6-1 in the return leg? Sure SKY sports might cream over it and glory supporters but it was an awful standard across both games. Likewise Arsenal being cunted 10-2, the Champions League has never been less competitive and boring as it it is at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 For me Scholes is the best midfielder England have had since the 60s. Absolutely brilliant! Would've played for anyone at any club of his choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
