Jules Koundé

[CWMCFC]

Bit reserved about this. Even with Ake and Kounde being added we still don’t have an immediate, ready made partner for Laporte.

Kounde is a great looking prospect and brings pace to the back line but he’s really young and raw, hard to imagine he settles in quickly and cements a first team spot within the first six months.

One of the huge positives with bringing Koulibaly in was his experience as well as how well he played under Sarri. Can’t help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the Kounde signing as I don’t see how he instantly improves the back line which is what we desperately need.

There's no guarantee that KK would come in and hit the ground running faster than Kounde would. It's a gamble whoever we decide to go for at this point due to the lack of preparation and no pre-season.

Which ever way, I am sure Napoli president will be full of regrets with this recent development

Shit or get off the pot time for ADL. If he compromises on the figures you wld expect movement soon.

Was still on Wikipedia when I looked at 7.55am.

And yet you waited until 8:56am to post it, stranger still.

Doubt Koulibaly would take that long mate. Experienced players who've played in a similar system don't usually take much time. Look at Laporte, he slotted in perfectly without taking much time.

Laporte was 23 when we signed him, not what I would call experienced when you're comparing against Kounde who turns 22 in November.

More likely they saw Palace bid 19m plus add one for Rhian Brewster and thought bloody hell lets re-evaluate

Not jacking the price up. That's his release clause amount I think.
