This Kounde looks better than everyone we signed in 2017. Way better. He is ball playing CB, albeit short one. Question remains how good he will preform in PL. Means something if Pep wanted him.  What worries me is that pursuing this fella means we will continue with back five. Our attacking talents need to improve massively, like:

Havertz  from 4 to around 20

Timo from 6 to around 18

Mount  from 4 - around 15

Pulisic from 4 to around 12

Ziyech from 2 to around 10

and we will be fine. To secure top four.

Striker. Even if we get one, I will believe when he starts scoring goals.

Pep has singed like a dozen cbs all but 2 flopped. If Pep likes a CB it should make you wary not greedy. Coughing up 60m for a CB and then not playing him is what Pep likes for breakfast.

Pep wanted Jorginho before Rodri. 

Also Kounde before Dias.

He bought 4.

3 of which won the league as regulars and were TOTS. The other is Ake who still has a whole career ahead of him.

but Fabinho played much higher up the pitch for Monaco, he was not a true crunching DMF for them, that was Baka

Fabinho also played a tonne at RB for Monaco and Brasil

It was the view of most neutrals. Fabinho always been Monaco's best midfielder.

fine, we buy Kounde and swap him instantly for Dias

done and dusted

You know a player is highly rated when rival fans of ours are saying “that’s a great signing, tbf.” 😂

Usually everyone calls a rival signing shit no matter who they are.

I like the look of Kounde... can use him in DM too. Defo sign this lad.

yes, but he was not looked at as a true rock-ribbed DMF

people are playing revisionist games here

I watched SO many of that 2016/17 Monaco team's games, some in person at Stade Louis II with my father (my mum rarely goes to football matches) as he was working there on and off in the middle of a 3 year span, and had (still has it) a flat in La Condamine, right off the harbour

I know that team like the back of my hand

According to Romano, Kounde turned down Spurs or didn't want to go to Spurs because they don't have Champions League football. Hence why Spurs turned their attention to Romero.

Lol. Pep's CB signings - Stones 2016, Laporte 2017, Ake and Dias 2021. None of them have flopped actually. He won the title playing 3 of them at CB and Ake maybe a backup but hardly a flop when he's competing with the other 3 for a spot in the team.

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

There were warning signs with Bakayoko (his lack of technical ability) but in all seriousness, it feels like some dark magic is at play with him. Bloke doesn't even know how to control a ball anymore.

not at city only obviously. look at Barcelona and Bayern too where he signed guys like Benatia, Kirchhoff and chrgynskyy lol

Who with any ounce of ambition, would not turn down Spurs? 😂 They won jack shit with their "golden generation", they will be firmly placed in mid-table where they belong now.
