Jules Koundé

[JimmyGrimble10]

Don't know how I feel about this personally.

He's shown he's got bags of talent, but he's still somewhat unproven and I think the whole idea around Koulibaly was to get a seasoned leader and help bring some experience to our backline.

If we are signing another 21 year old, I would be going for Upamecano simply down to the profile of player that he is - I think we are crying out for someone physically imposing, not another CB under 6ft.

Koundé is better

Weren’t there reports weeks ago of Txiki negotiating for a Sevilla defender?

There was, while he was in Barcelona during the Messi saga.

Either Kounde or Upamecano would do but both are still raw.

Yes please. I said a while ago that this is the Sevilla defender we should be looking at. He's quality.

And that hair gets him bonus points.

Yes please. I said a while ago that this is the Sevilla defender we should be looking at. He's quality.

And that hair gets him bonus points.

And makes him bigger.

Could be the 1 out of the blue signings???

Smoke & mirrors while we deal with the kid from Spain

He looks very comfortable on the ball also

I would say this is more of a Garcia replacement rather than Stones

Nico & Garcia to leave & Kounde & 1 other maybe to come in leaving Stones to fight for his place

 

[mancityscot]

its a yes for me

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I'm bored of this saga. Have we signed him yet? Pull yer finger out Txiki. We should walk away. Bullet dodged.

Not seen enough of him to pass any real comment on his ability, but he certainly is much more the kind of profile we'd go for than KK. Be interested to see if ADL drops his price or if we do just sign someone else.
