Mário César 1,287 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 lets see but I think we need to pay a little bit more than other clubs to get him... lets see at least Kounde just has 23 years old. its young enough to, in the future provide us a good feed with a possible sale!

Marvin123 538 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Jules Kounde is very close to being transferred to Chelsea. Except for a radical change, the English club hopes that the agreement will be closed next week. Xavi spoke with the player and convinced him to go to Barça, but Chelsea bets more strongly. - @Manu_Sainz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,958 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 So many conflicting reports. After Dembele and Raphinha I’m not going to get my hopes up. Strike and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,958 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Lots of complaints about Koundé’s height here and elsewhere but United have just signed a genuinely tiny CB for £55m. Koundé looks gigantic compared to Lisandro Martinez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 It makes more sense to prioritise Kounde over Kimpembe. Kounde will take that RCB spot and Koulibaly the LCB. mkh and DDA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artandur 939 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Kounde feels like another doomed pursuit anyways. Hope we don't waste too much time on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would hopefully mean we never have to see Sarr in a Chelsea shirt again. Landing both would spell the end for Colwill., which would be shame, given that neither of those names belong to WC players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kounde will take that RCB spot and Koulibaly the LCB. Kounde can also play RB so could potentially take over the role that Azpi fulfils on that right hand side of defence covering for James. I think in terms of the makeup of the defence he makes more sense currently than Kimpembe and I'd also be less worried about him playing centrally in a back 4 if it's alongside someone like Koulibaly. However it's still huge money what is being asked for both players. Part of me is hoping someone steps up in pre season like Trev did last year to make it less of a need to strengthen for Tuchel.

Superblue 6,372 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 If we get a midfielder this summer it needs to be a genuine holding midfielder, not just someone who could play that role in a pinch like Kante and Kova 'could' do. Having someone like that would give Tuchel greater flexibility to use both 4 and 5 back formations depending on opposition and players he has available but also opens some players up to being potentially more helpful. Mount, Gallagher and RLC are all better suited to playing in an 8 role than in the pivot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
