What's the difference between he and Ndicka?

50m difference in the market (or 30-40m coz we sell like shite).

Might want to think about it considering our salary mass issues.

He is nowhere near a top ball playing CB no matter how many times you try and repeat that.

Is barely better than Araujo on ball if at all and nowhere close to Christensen.

Poor on ball game after game and including when rarely been at CB.

Calma. He is class on the ball. I believe he will show it

Calma he isnt and hasnt been.

Never showed that for Sevilla and never for France either.

Wait and see.

When will he show us this?

Same as being told to 'chill' today when saying how poor on ball he was.. then minutes later he fucks up again for the red card.

Calma.

He's quality (and has been this season for the most part). After the world cup he dipped, but I am sure he will recover.

Selling him would be ridiculous when precisely a lack of good CBs sunk is in the CL. Get a RB and you fix the defence+depth. That's all it takes.

Never showed that for Sevilla and never for France either.

Agreed for France, but he was pure elegance for Sevilla in his natural CB role.

He isnt quality on the ball.

More ridiculous is thinking he is worth 60m at RB or would be better CB than Christensen.

Just keep trotting out line how good on ball he is though regardless.

Calma.

He got famous at Sevilla exactly for his ball-playing abilities and daring runs from CB. So clearly he can do it.

He was great against RM, he is great CB, he is playing on RB, so I would not judge him to much on this game.

No he didnt.

Sevilla won those competitions by defending box well and both CBs have not looked as good out of it.

When has time to come out with ball he can be ok but not even close to elite CB on ball.

Shit point. Again, he's not a RB, but to his credit he's been the best we have had there in ages (Semedo, Roberto, Dest...). If we miraculously fix our RB it's fair game between Christensen (who's playing like a 60m CB), Araujo and Kounde next season.

It has not been a fair fight between the 3 this season with Kounde being out of position 9 out of 10 times.

Nah it is a good point.

Shit point is you mouthing off about telling folk to 'chill' about how bad on ball he was then he minutes later fucks up for red card.

Shit point is thinking he is long term RB... shit point is thinking being better than Dest means anything at all.

Do better.

Barca in current finances dont need three CBs could get money for when can have cheaper alternative as backs up.s

Kounde is a decent player, the awkward thing is we got a better player for free who forces him into a position he doesn’t do too well in. All top teams need quality depth though as rotations, injuries and suspensions happen.

He doesn't play RB because Christensen forced him there. We literally have no other (decent) option.
