When Pochettino joined us I remember us being linked with:
Lallana
Rodriguez
Lovren
Yet we ended up with Wanyama from Southampton not the one I'd have expected us to go for.

Not disagreeing just saying a fit Ings would sit on the bench and if he came on last 10, I'd expect him to fare better than Vinny.
I want Vinny to work out and still feel he will, but Ings was used to the league.
Wanyama for £12m is incredible and the best of the lot. He came for Poch, says a lot.
To think he was considered as the back up for Dier. He's proven to be an excellent purchase. Happy for us to take another punt like that on someone who isn't considered to be in the elite bracket but a solid PL experienced player who wouldn't cost the earth to get.
It's almost frustrating we have both him and Dier to be honest, we are truly spoilt at the moment.
Remember Palacios/Zokora!?
Don't forget your favorite Sammy, Bony.
But, but Kante, what about the greatest DM in the World. (Wanyama is better than Kante).
Not that fat cunt. :eriksenlol:
Sat on Stoke's bench all season
I didn't know that. Ha ha.
Bakayoko and Kante partnership sounds dominating.
But Chelsea's eleven was an eleven that could easily be upgraded - better right wing back and left wing back were needed. Looking like signing Alex Sandro, no doubt go for a right wing back too. Matic is shit, so Bakayoko is already an upgrade. Christensen coming in at centre half is better than Cahill. Hell, they may even put Azpilicueta at right wing back and put Christensen in his place at centre half.
So I don't think we should be comparing their summer to ours. Our eleven was stronger than theirs. I've said it numerous times. Do a combined line up and we'd come out with a lot more players because our eleven bares no weaknesses.
Chelsea will strengthen their eleven because they need to - it just means there depth gets even better. They have the money to do so and a ruthless chairman.
To even compete with the way we are run is incredible and we should commend the manager and the team who GOT us here.

To be fair, Kante has had one less season then that and made 208 successful tackles. Which is 3 less than Wanyama.
Wanyama has made 211 successful tackles in 98 games.
Kante has made 208 successful tackles in 72 games.
