Memphis Depay has a ton of potential, was a huge prospect and people are still talking him up like the next big Dutch player but since he's arrived at United he just hasn't lived up to the hype.

Daley Blind has been class for us on defense this season. Definitely not the caliber of Dutch players that were around 15 years ago but still great to watch at their best.

Chelsea are something else this season. Easily the best side. And where does Kante rank in the all time list of Premier Legue CM's if Chelsea go on to win the league and he's the back to back best CM in the division?

Now that Cazorla is out for a few months I expect we might put in a decent winning run, playing some good footy. Xhaka has been awesome lately.

As if I didn't already ****ing hate Fellani enough...

As far as Kante goes, he's still criminally underrated imo. Such a great talent. I think France is one of the top countries for putting out midfielders atm. Pogba, Kante, Matuidi. 3 all around monsters in the middle of the pitch.

Don't forget Germany. They have a good group of young midfielders at the moment.

Germany has a good everything atm to be fair

Kante isn't underrated, everyone thinks he's a great player. And Germany has the best set of midfielders in the World. Incredible talents in different varieties.

For what he did with Leicester sure, but I don't hear him attributed to Chelsea's success nearly as much as Hazard, Costa, Pedro and Moses (who has been in great form this year.)

I agree on Germany. France is one of the top imo, but there's still no touching Germany yet.

Pedro is relatively average imo, always been a sideman who scores occasionally.
