NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Nice. But problem is we have also 5th and 6th midfielder in RLC and Barkley. Big salaries as well. Don't see any rumors about them. They should not be allowed to train with first team. About Kounde of course we are not paying clause when we didn't even wanted to pay 65m which is fair price. And I am not worried either because we have best defense in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many would assume he will not be playing at all - which I am sure you’ll be devastated about because after his mandatory 4 good games a season at Villa, you were ruing our decision of loaning him out and not Mason 🤣 If Saul signs surely Ruben can see the writing on the wall. If he really thinks he is going to try play ahead of Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic and Saul, then he should be drug tested. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I am pretty sure our incomings are done. It was a great window for selling players, which we needed to do. Other teams needed to and didn't. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 We don’t need Kounde Saul was 100 times more important great deal with cheap loan fee and buy option. Well done Marina The number of twists in these deals shows that even guys like Romano are not always 100% reliable Muzchap and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Jype 6,398 Posted August 31, 2021 Popular Post! Share Posted August 31, 2021 Saul on loan for €5M with a €35M buy option is a hell of a deal, hats off to Marina. This again shows it's only a good thing for the club that she doesn't budge in transfer negotiations. Sure we didn't get Kounde in the end but if she caved on that one she would have had to cave with Saul too and got a much worse deal on that one.

Azul 1,615 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Lets goooooo, this is exactly what we needed. I'm happy with this window with the amount of deadwood that we sold and the two vital positions that we covered. Kounde is not even a necessity, this window is done and dusted for me.

nyikolajevics 2,698 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Perhaps already discussed in this topic, but help me out, what is Atleti’s motivation behind this deal? Saul is starter, important player for them, why let him go on loan for candy? Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,142 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Thanks god for that. We just needed another CM. Was absolutely crucial. A good one we have too. It is just very risky and not helping ourselves to rely on Kovacic, Jorginho and Kante as our only 3 out and out CM in the squad. Man City have KDB, Rodri, Fernandinho, Gundogan as natural CM who can play that role. Kante on other hand is injury prone which means we sometimes are relying on only two natural CM. We are competing for PL, UCL, Fifa Club World Cup, FA Cup, Carabao Cup. We need the depth. Especially after loaning out Gallagher and Gilmour, you would think it is a no brainer. Very good transfer window but still annoyed it seems we will not be buying Kounde this summer. We have sold more than we have bought and for a 22 year old who is one of the best CB in Europe and is as accomplished as a CB you can get, you would think we would pay that little bit extra for him, especially now we have the money for Zouma. Who knows next year if Kounde even will join us. He would be also good for playing that LCB role as well as well as anyhwere else in backline. If we got Kounde, it would make it a perfect window as it means where we have sold, we have also bought replacements too. I mean if a late deal can happen for Kounde as it happened with Saul, then great. Very happy with the squad depth but just irritated we havent stumped up that extra cash for one of the best CB in Europe currently who is only 22 years of age and will only get better.
