    I'd agree - the only thing Fernandinho is more 'complete' at is amassing Red and Yellow cards <laugh>

    I know which one I’d take out of the two and it wouldn’t be Silva, although he is a class player.

    Souness called him the best PL player ever last night FFS. Stupid jock prat.

    Busquets is infinitely better than Kante btw, it’s not even close. Two completely different types of DM, the type that Kante is, is a dying breed.

    Kante is best defensively (tackles, acceleration, stamina) but deffo not the best defensivr midfielder. At the big clubs you to be more than just a tackling and interception machine. You need to be technically good.

    Kantes okay but he doesnt have the strength, passing, awareness or touch of busquets or fernandinho.

    I'd have Silva, but that's more on the basis Spurs would benefit more from Silva than we would from Hazard. We've already got good attacking mids, even if Hazard on his day is better than them, whereas a creative force from CM where Silva seems to play these days, that's what we lack. I'd take anything over seeing another Harry Winks side pass tbh.

    Id take kdb over silva but mainly cause silva is a fantastic playmaker but still needs colleagues to make the movements, play off, pass it back to him whereas kdb can do it all

    Oh for sure I'd have KDB all day long. It's just Tel said he'd have Hazard over Silva, so I was just saying I'd have the opposite but that's based on who I thought Spurs could do with more, not necessarily who's the better player.

    Eric Dier is better than Busquets according to a respected former England manager

    What utter bollocks...

    ...Fernandinho isn't allowed to be booked. He's invisible to referees just like Felliani :bandit:

    Given the choice between Fernandinho and Kante, I'd take the Frenchman.

    Who was that defender that your club used to idolise, in the 90's?

    Not even close .So if Kantes rated one of the best defensive midfielders in the world Fernandinho must be super human <laugh>..

    Fair enough mate i see your point Fernandinho is immense and a massive player for City due to the fact hes the only player City have other than Delph who plays that role so he's one of the first names on the team sheet for them but to me Kante is the kiddy at play DM.
