Jules Koundé

[Zenmanc]

I'd love nothing more than to leave ADL high and dry.

 

[BringBackSwales]

We’d almost have a full back 4 from France that don’t get in their National team’s 11. Just need Bellerin now for right back and we’re sorted.

This is the only positive I see in this transfer

 

[City_Sean]

Kounde at £70m seems much more in line of our recruitment in recent years. A highly talented player with his best years ahead of him.

Fits in with what Lu Martin said when he said Txiki had been negotiating with Sevilla, and now @BillyShears has backed it up too.

Fingers crossed for this to happen. Miles better signing than Koulibaly. Younger and very quick and doesn’t look like like the new Mangala.

 

[Jumanji]

Please no

What do you mean doesn't look like the new Mangala?

Like Koulibaly

 

[p.taker]

Like Koulibaly

What similarities do Koulibaly and Mangala have though?

 

[waspish]

Please no

Why you want him at your club.

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Is he on youtube ?

No but he can’t be any worse than some of those on it

What similarities do Koulibaly and Mangala have though?

Are they both Gemini`s

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Genuinely excited if we can do this deal, he's class.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Nice another jule in the crown!:))

 

[richards30]

Are we actually in for this guy then?!

 

[twosips]

Are we actually in for this guy then?!

Probably actually not tbh. Just one paper report, but fingers crossed its well sourced.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Excellent player. Yes please. Better than KK

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

How’s your health now? Hope you’re doing well. Glad to see you posting.

Thank you. Feeling a lot better.

My guess from what’s been said , and with how tight city keep things that’s all we can do, I reckon we’ve been talking with him and Seville since the rumours of Txiki talking to Seville when he was in Barcelona, along with rumours that a Seville defender clause had been triggered by a p/l club, it could be us and him not Carlos. Plus there was talk a few days ago we had given Napoli until the 15th to accept our Koulibaly offer.
So maybe we’ve firmed up on a Seville defender and it’s Kounde not Carlos.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Have you heard anything on this too TH?

I haven't matey. Not really been working. I saw Mike McGrath is one of the sources for it?

I would normally say to ignore him but he is close to a few agents, mainly Aidy Ward, Sterling's guy, so you never know.

Would love it to be right, I think he has the playing characteristics our team doesn't have enough of, highly aggressive, quick and hungry.

What is it with City going for small centre halves. At 5' 11" another midget who would probably struggle physically in England. We need some physicality and a leader not a small youngster with "potential". Quick is great when the high line is caught out but at set pieces our presence is lacking imo and that's where we're hurt most.
