I don't see Kante making competent passes? He destroys and makes a 5 yard pass. Like Coquelin.

The difference is Kante is in a good team with a good coach and good tactics.

Birmingham want to offload Arsenal defenders Carl Jenkinson and Cohen Bramall | @JamesNursey

To make even a five yard pass you have to be strong enough on the ball to retain possession, Coquelin isn’t

Brilliant that you think Coquelin is on Kantes level by the way, in terms of awareness, ability to win possession or strength.

Offload Jenkinson? Don’t they only have him on loan. Bit like trying to sell your council house

I've never once said that but you can make stuff up to make yourself feel better after you've lost an argument :console:

He only turns up when he fancies it. We already have an Ozil who can do that.

Would take Mahrez as an Alexis replacement.

Especially now that he seems to have found some consistency again.

Jesus Christ I thought we got Jenkinson off our books?

Another one for the scrap heap.

You were making the comparison between the two in the first place me laddo :haha:

Speaking of Chelsea players I assume you remember how Hazard brushed him aside like he wasn’t there at Stamford Bridge last season?.
