Jules Koundé

It's not all about his height, shirley, it's timing and how high he can lift himself from the ground. It would be ludicrous to think every footballer jumps the same height.

Diego Carlos was getting all the plaudits from the La Liga season but watching the latter stages of the Europa league, even if you take away Carlos' pen concedings, this lad looked better in every game.

How is his last name pronounced?
Is is like quindee or coo un dee or something completely different?

Excited about this guy and prefer younger players to older players like KK but this feels like a slightly strange transfer we clearly took the view that we needed a experience and I sort of agree but now from nowhere we are going for someone different and one which we have not been linked with before and what about Upamcano

Sevilla play Thursday so it’ll probably be after that before it happens, if it happens.

Ake will only play LB if Mendy or Cancelo are injured

I disagree, Ake will play at LB against better & quicker oposition

I disagree, Ake will play at LB against better & quicker oposition

Could be a possibility but I feel if Mendy is fit then he will always start

He‘s never fully fit so fortunately it won’t be an issue...

Amazing how this transfer, for many, seems to be the difference between optimism and pessimism heading into the new season. If the hype is warranted then I’m excited to see him play, but I also think Laporte and Ake as a partnership will be 10 time’s better than what we had to endure for most of last season!

If Ake is comfortable playing there, I agree.
