23 - Jules Kounde

[kattanib]

He has all the potential to be a disastrous CB, not sure why the excitement level is high. We already have a solid addition to our CB Christensen

Because people watched him for Sevilla and he has been fantastic? ;D

 

[DonAK]

La Liga sources claiming Laporta and another board member put forward a bank guarantee to register him.

He's been quality for Sevilla, he spent his time recovering from an injury and being stuck in transfer limbo and didn't get a preseason, of course, he's rusty and I have no doubt he will be good for us.

Bank guarantee for what?

 

[El Ilusionista]

Bank guarantee for what?

Basically if we dont get rid of Aubameyang and free enough margin in the wagebill Laporta has to pay the salary of Kounde out of his own pocket.

 

[Nucky]

Glad the registration process finally went through.. Can't wait to see him play tonight..

 

[kattanib]

I am sold. This is our RB. Long have I dreamt of a balance between RB and LB .. one defensively solid with attacking ability and one attackingly solid with defensive capabilities. Abidal and Alves

 

[kattanib]

Kounde RB for the win!!!

Very solid RB option

 

[Catta]

What a block, saved a certain goal. Was OK at RB, but so much better as a CB.

 

[Barcaman]

Kounde RB for the win!!!

Very solid RB option

Missed the first half. In second he was switched to CB. Don't know if his talents are wasted as RB, we'll see.

 

[mc_lovin]

Not as good as Araujo at overlapping runs, who's just a better long distance runner, but he's pure quality on the ball. Would continue Kounde at fullback for now.

The exact opposite. Between him and Aruajo, Aruajo is the better CB. Meanwhile I am not sure how good would it be to play both of them as CB given the similarities between the two.

As a RB, Kounde gave Abidal vibes. A much needed confidence to the defense and amazing short passes and throughs when attacking and linkage with our wingers. He cannot cross, but that is fine so long as there is a winger beside him and he can train for better crossing

 

[Givenchy]

Xavi needs to sub Eric, don't deprive us of seeing that Araujo-Kounde partnership.
