They're selling one player. Even if he was their best, and I'd say Mahrez and Vardy were at the very least just as important to their success as Kante was, it's still just one player, so they're not 'being gutted'. Not yet, anyway.

Really hope this doesn't come back to bite us on the bum (Pogba renews)
Dont think so. Kante is more of a b2b whilst Matic is a pure DM. Reckon Conte will use a midfield two of Matic and Kante

@ the meltdown in here£32m is still a massive fee, just because you are massively overpaying for Pogba don't forget that
A massive fee? If you want to keep yourself happy by saying that... of course. Who can you buy that would be a suitable replacement? You will get no quality for that fee in today's market.
we already bought him, for £16m, just because you do you're scouting on FIFA other clubs still do it the old fashioned way
Don't see why you're getting so butthurt over this. You also don't understand markets that well. You bought him at 16m in a different market.
Besides, who cares if you made even a 10 million profit. Why don't you just answer my question if this is such a good fee: who can you get to replace Kante for 30m? If not replace him, who can you get for 30m?
A less hyped player.
I don't think we were ever in for him. I just hope Jose knows what's he's doing.
I did answer your question we signed his replacement before we even sold him and signed him for £16m, far from being butthurt over this I am simply saying get your head out of FIFA ultimate team for once, afteral our best players last year, apart from Kante, were signed for a combined £1.6m, the transfer fee doesn't tell you how good a player you are getting
Bringing up FIFA ultimate team or how much of a bargain you got on your players is besides the point.
Selling Kante for that fee is a loss for liecester. You'd be silly not to see that.
Troy Deeney money.
Not even!
Ah, so you're just being a pedant over how I used the word "gutted"? Ok good, here's a gold star for you
where have I said it's not? you are the one saying £30m+ isn't a big fee, it is, just because you are getting robbed for someone you suddenly think that £30m is nothing, you seem to be saying unless we buy someone for £30m+ we cannot replace him when the fact is we already have, for about half what we are selling him for, just because we didn't pick out an over hyped name and pay an over inflated fee doesn't mean he cannot be replaced.
Also learn how to spell Leicester, it's not that hard
You're wrong there. 30 million in today's market is not a big fee. United getting robbed or not is totally besides the point.
Also, Leicester is hardly an important club for me to know how to spell their name. I think last season's success has gotten to your head a bit. If you think you can do with bargains and miracle finds this season you're gonna be in for a rude awakening.
He does, Kante is the best CVM we can get and Schneiderlin isnt very good, Im dreading to see Schneiderlin/Carrick play there next season.
no it's just a basic level of intellect and politeness to know how to spell the name of the topic of which you are discussing, it's not about miracle finds either it's about scouting, we'll pay what we have to to sign a player with in reason, but we don't just think "he has a big name let's get him" they actually have to fit our side otherwise there is no point getting them.
No one was even arguing that. All I said was $30 million for Kante is not a "huge amount" of money as you put it.
it is, you're just comparing it to fees you pay, it's also the result of a buyout so is it what we could have gotten on an open market? no but it's still a massive fee and £24m profit for one season
Kante breaks a game up better than most I've seen in recent years , but his distribution is limited . Expect him to look a bit out of place at first
You saying Troy deeney is sh*t?
Mendy will be a good replacement for him at Leicester.
You couldn't replace anything like his quality for that fee that's what he is getting at. Is Gareth Barry still available?
If Leicester lose Mahrez as well as Kante, that'll be a kick in the balls for them.
Has there even been one article linking mahrez away? Strangest thing in recent times....

Well that's certainly depressing news.
Kante for £30 mill is a bargain, I'd much rather spend that on kante and save a nice £70 million to spend elsewhere.

Why are people comparing him to Pogba? Completely different players.
Yup. A completely different type of player to what Pogba is. He doesn't score or assist nearly as much but I really thought we would've been interested. Maybe Jose wants a box to box cm to play next to Schneiderlin or Carrick.
Mate you may think you're hot shit that you overpaid for Zlatan but let me tell you that the foxes have Jamie Vardy who was much cheaper! Go back to Fifa!
@Jimmy Skitz logic.
Is that you, Jose?
So is it 30 mil euros or sterling?
Edit: or dollars
30 million of The queens English
He'll probably look his best in a 4-3-3
What a buy for Chelsea
