nyikolajevics 2,713 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Is he really that good? Anyone? I can only see Chelsea buy him and loan for like two years. Cahill, Luiz and Azpilicueta are very good, there's Aké too and Christensen is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveLamp 270 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I live in Toulouse and have seen him a lot this season. He is certainly a good prospect but pretty raw and nowhere near ready for first team action. He'd be behind basically all our centre-backs in the pecking order. I don't see him getting in ahead of even Zouma, Ake, Christensen. If we do buy it'll certainly be one for the future and another for the loan army... That said I don't see the need for a new CB unless it is an elite CB who will be first choice ahead of Cahill. We have all we need in terms of cover in that position.

Is he really related to Alban Lafont? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
