terrible passing is harsh - he completes 87% , just his long passing which is bad. and pretty much all lefties are very one footed.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Huge stamina, good passing and he picked a couple of fantastic diagonals with both feet

Interesting that you say he played good diagonals with both feet because the general consensus about him is that he is very one footed and his long balls are very poor.

I like Kondogbia, I saw him once with France U20 and he really was different class. He was the only one to be a regular starter in a top club that night, alongside Digne.

Huge stamina, good passing and he picked a couple of fantastic diagonals with both feet. Good movement as well, his runs are quite good for a 20 y.o midfielder I think

how does he compare to pogba?

Where would he fit? Let's say for example we switch to a 4-3-3; Ramires will be a starter, Mikel a starter (probably) and then Oscar or Mata would take up the other place in the middle '3'. So that leaves him on the bench.

If we stick to a 4-2-3-1, again, Mikel would likely start ahead of him as he has better passing, and Ramires has been told he's very much in Jose's plans - which again puts him on the bench.

I think he'd be best in a 4-3-3 Essien role but I don't see that happening unless he and Ramires rotate a lot (i guess it's a possibility eh.)

I wouldn't say no to him. Very talented. I'd rather try and entice Juventus for Pogba or Vidal though. They desperately want a striker so Torres + Cash would perhaps work.

U-20 World Cup

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hes your future great defensive midfielder ala Makalele, Toure, if he lives up to his potential.

He has great tactical awareness and arial ability, he is only 20 years old, yet he is superb in the functions that categorize a good defensive midfielder.

His is still raw with his technique, meaning first touches and passing, that will all come in due time.

I think he would be apt to play first team football with chelsea for example.

You could play 3 man midfield with him infront of centerbacks, or in a double pivot with a player like modric or thiago.

If he can improve his passing, and be given a chance to star, along with pogba he will deservedly be looked at as among the top 5 defensive midfield type players of the future.

Isn't his release clause not only 17 million euros or something? Would be a steal from what I've heard about him.

[Zinedine Iniesco 172]

It is about 8 million euros.

RUmors are madrid have a deal already with him, to be dealed with further after the u20 world cup.

Other say that kondogbia doesnt really like the idea of staying at sevilla one more year to develop as some thing madrid would try to activate.

It depends on many variables, madrid look like favorites, but if they mess up, then chelsea would ideally jump on him like rabid dogs.

He has B2B abilities as well if anyone has bothered to really pay lots of attention to his game.

But not to the extremes of someone like Ramires.

Think of yaya toure, but with an even stronger defensive future imo.
