Jules Koundé

[Blootoof]

My first thought was Keith Curle, but you are right he is just like Des Walker and he wasn’t half bad and neither was Keith Curle.

The day we signed Curle I was swiggin a bottle of Ouzo in Kavos about 9:00 am reading a paper(would have been a day after with the papers being behind). He played(Debuted)at Stockport, pre season?

Are we signing Bernadette from Telford? What's she like at aerial duels?

A comparison matrix of the 2 best CBs in the league (VVD, Laporte) and our 3 transfer targets.



Based on this and the eye test, comparing the 3 transfer targets -
1. Koulibaly has the best combination of ability and leadership skills.
2. Gimenez has the best footballing ability and is an outstanding defender.
3. While not the best currently, Kounde is not far off from the other two. He seems like a very well-rounded CB and definitely has the potential to become the one of the best in the world.

that would be a huge compliment and worth blowing any reasonable budget to acquire! Walker was a beast in his prime and a great all round defender. Was great at Forrest and later at Wednesday

I really rated Clough but can you imagine what Walker would have been like with Pep as his manager? he would have been one of the best ever

Who's Bernadette?

Set fire to bills!:))

If Stones had better success rate in Aerial & Ground duels, in which aspect of the game Jules is better than John ?

Well I'd guess we're hoping he would be reliable for one. We all know Stones at his best can be great, but he's rarely there for a myriad of annoying reasons.

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

Some fox from Telford with hair like Jim Tolmie apparently!

I think she went out with one of the Four Tops.

Are there any credible sources that are actually saying we are

1. in for him
2. close to signing him?

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

At least we know what to sing if she signs as CB.
