As a Leicester City fan, the key to understanding replacing Kante, is to recognise that it took TWO players, not one to do it: Ndidi AND Tielemans, (when on form). IMHO, it's Mahrez that we really haven't been able to replace at all, (yet).

Not only does Vieira fit your description better but the cause and effect of his departure made for much better content within the scope, there is of course the Robin van Persie who managed to replace Henry as a goal threat in a brilliant fashion for about 1,5 season or so.

No. That is merely one of the effects. The cause is/was Barça's frivolous spending going back decades. When Cruyff took over, he wanted Barcelona to be equal to or better than Real, in all aspects. What followed was a quarter century long orgy of spending like Real, without money like Real. The Neymar situation was the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back".

The efforts Klopp went to in order to keep Countinho are legion. Barca was his childhood club and nothing was going to stop him. At least we used the money well that time!

Almost everyone in that Leicester side was brilliant that season, that was half the reason we won the league. Few outside Leicester talk about the likes of Fuchs, Albrighton and Okazaki either, but they were minimum 7 or 8 out of 10 every week. I do think Mahrez and Vardy were and will be the hardest to replace though. I know a lot of neutrals think Kante, but I think Ndidi also topped the tackles and interceptions as well in the PL for 2 or 3 seasons since and I think Kante’s ability to “drive up the pitch” gets overplayed a bit. And I think we are still struggling to replace Mahrez now and we’ve lost so much going forward during Vardy’s lengthy injury this season too. I think in truth if you replace Kante with Ndidi there’s a lot more chance we still win the league than whoever we can realistically replace Mahrez or Vardy with. Ultimately quality defensive players are almost always easier to replace than quality attacking or creative players. Especially if you’re not a big club who can just go and buy almost anyone.

As a Liverpool fan, you are absolutely right about Alonso. Alonso being there made Gerrard be the attacking midfielder he was, but once Alonso left Gerrard had to cover to do all the work in midfield because we didn’t have a good replacement for Alonso. So after Alonso, Gerrard was doing both the attacking and defending in that midfield.
@respectedlocalgentleman71082 жыл бұрын
Xavi Alonso is easily the most underrated footballer of the modern era, possibly ever. He literally invented the "deep lying playmaker position" and managed to match it with a legitimate defensive midfielder's ferocity. Everybody talks about that great era for Spain, but for my money? I would take the 2008 team over all the bigger name-laded squads that followed, because Alonso and Marcos Senna were the most impenetrable and dominating defensive midfield duo I ever had a chance to watch. Co-sign everything you said about Liverpool. I wouldn't go so far as to say he was better than Gerrard individually, but I will say that if Gerrard weren't English or if Liverpool were located outside of England...Stevie G would've been the one getting replaced and the team would've been built around Alonso. Pardon the thread jack.

Michael Ballack going to Chelsea at a free transfer in 2006 should be on this list. The Bayern bosses tried to talk him down, after he didn't want to extend ... and then they finished 4th and missed out in the Champions League. That was the last time Bayern didn't qualify for the Champions League... The next summer, they spend big to get back there.

Lambert was a totally dry signing ha ha! Weird one that tbh.
@ry_jayy2 жыл бұрын
Lambert was fucking quality. Didn't fit Liverpool's style of play, and they only signed him as cheap bait to tempt their bigger Southampton targets to the club. Lambert was used by his boyhood club and done absolutely dirty. Should never have left Southampton but got absolutely shafted by them. Got him in, that opened the gates for them to get their real targets (Lallana and Lovren), and once those two were in, Lambert's usefulness to Liverpool was over.

Good list overall but Ndidi is a fine replacement for Kante. nowhere near as good but still a good player. However, we STILL haven't replaced Mahrez and we have been trying

I think Dani Alves falls in this category very well. Dani Alves’s impact is not recognized much . FC Barcelona is still yet to find a good RB . Dani Alves was the final piece for Barca to European success. After Dani left Barca’s defense completely broke down. Barca got knocked out in each of their champions league campaigns since 2016 due lack of good RB which led to heavy defeats like 4-0 to PSG , 4-0 to Liverpool, the loss to Roma, and the 8-2, and they still suffer in defense due to that .

Yeah Sir Alex was the first one the came to mind with irreplaceable. The first one that came to mind with replaceable was Nigel Pearson at Leicester. Won the league and then great escape only to be replaced with claudio ranieri

I feel that Arsenal were more impacted by the retirement of Bergkamp and the sale of Thierry Henry than Viera's departure. But that's how opinions work not everyone has the same lol
