He is just an amazing player. The fact chelsea got him for 35 million after finishing 10th and our then manager Jose spent 90 million on Pogba was baffling.

Every time I see a photo of him it's like he KNOWS he's living a boyhood dream and cant wipe the smile off his face.

I don't rate him.

Missing for 80% of the last 2 seasons or so. He has a few high profile performances in the past few months, fair enough, but where is the consistency?

I rate Jorginho as more integral to Chelsea's success. He performs week in, week out.

My favourite player - normally would say “non-United player” but I can’t even say that in his case. He simply is my favourite player from this current crop of players. Kante is a joy to watch and he’s a genuine down to earth character. I can’t think of one occasion where you could say he cheats which I feel is an incredibly rare characteristic/trait in today’s football.

Remastered the role he plays and no player in the world does it better than him. Would happily swap any player in our squad for him - he is simply world class at his job.

I hope he wins Ballon d’Or but I can’t think of a player of his ilk who’s win it before. He’ll certainly need to win the Euros - I’ll be routing for him.

Maybe over-hyping a bit - but it’s difficult to not compliment a player who is simply a breath of fresh air in football.

:lol:

3/10 troll rating - solid premise and reasonable execution but you gave the game away by saying that Jorginho is more consistent. Also using 80% as a figure is simply ridiculous and comes off as being comical rather than a genuine criticism.

The rumour says that he is a card cheater.
