Jules Koundé

You need a new convertor, 1.84m.

This is the only website that lists him as such.
Everywhere else his height ranges between 1.78-1.81 m
The official la liga website lists him at 1.78

 
It's actually amazing how you guys turned Diego Carlos who's been one of the best centerbacks in la liga the past season into a comedy defender basically having watched exactly 180 minutes of football of him, gotta be a new record

Koulibaly turned from one of the worlds top CB's to Mangala after 90mins against Messi.
 
His aerial ability is great regardless of his height (insane for his height)
74.5% win percentage

He seems to be more of a conservative type CB rather than a front foot one like Koulibaly
Laporte is a bit of a hybrid in this regard tbh so perhaps either could work alongside him

He’s only 21, his style will highly depend on the coaching he gets in the next couple of years.
 
Looks like he’s ruled out any move away from Sevilla this Summer, if the MEN is to be believed.
 
I do think he is the one to move for.... great potential. right age etc. If The reportsTxiki was working on this a few weeks ago are true, it seems it’s not gone anywhere and we are back at the drawing board. This might be one of those where the player knows Real will come in for him next summer and he’s prepared to sit and wait and has no interest in us. Shame but it happens.

1.78m is 5' 10" in proper measurements. My passport says exactly the same, and when I played football (the ball was dubbined) I could head the crossbar (it hurts) from a standing jump, and regularly beat 6 footers in the air. Denis Law was also 1.78m, and no one ever questioned his aerial ability. Being good in the air is all about timing and practice.
Having said that. you do have a natural advantage if you are taller, but, as we all know, size isn't everything! ;-)

Bwahahaha....... 'dubbined'......brings back memories.
 
Watched him in a friendly against Bilbao, as usual got bored and watched the only decent player on the pitch Ocampos,, like all the other center backs that we have been listed with from Spain, not worth £10 million, will take years adapting to playing in England and Pep`s high back line.
 
No one is going to sell us top CB for €60m knowing we are desperate and the lack of quality CBs. We either have to be prepared to spend more than that or we miss out again.
Exactly what I do not quite understand, what team will sell a top centre back for under €60m in this market. We won't get any if this is the case. Board stubbornness for 2 seasons straight isn't good.
 
I have a wild theory here, could it be that Pep has indicated it is his final season? And because of that the board is weary of spending big on a centre half or a striker right away when they can wait a year, study their options, and get the recruitments in on the next manager's terms? Because, obviously, each manager would like their own signings upon arrival (at least some). Especially the way Pep talked about being happy with what the board has given him, and he will not complain now or after (when seemingly, per Sam Lee and few others reliable sources, he expressed his frustrations at not getting Maguire quite clearly).
