Jules Koundé

[lmhblue1]

People need to realise that a tall, fast defender with good ball playing ability and leadership skills who's not old or injury prone literally does not exist in this market right now. No matter who we get there will be something to moan about because at least one or two of those boxes will be left unticked. Do not waste your energy complaining about his height when his aerial stats are fine... and by all accounts he can read the game well enough to make up for it when necessary.

Personally, I would prefer KK, but Kounde looks an exciting prospect and Sevilla should be easier to negotiate than ADL.

I would happy with a decent defender who can be reliable at the back. Yeah it is good he can improve a lot but imo it is very important he is atleast decent now so that we dont waste Pep years.

He was better than anyone else, in the recent European games.

Sketchy source. Fingers crossed it’s true but until someone reliable says it, I’ll just assume it’s bollocks.

Its Marca.

Still seems like either paper bollocks or a ploy to force ADL's hand.

Napoli getting pied re Koulibaly.

If we put in a higher offer Closer to the release clause I can see this happening. Where does this leave the KK negotiations- I can see the Rags in their usual desperation meeting the asking price

Okay boomer lol. Did you mean the story the Spanish newspaper is reporting is shite?

Obviously. Tomorrow morning city extra will post a tweet from the same source, claiming we’re 20 million off the asking price and so it goes on....
