23 - Jules Kounde

Was also close to City when they instead decided to get Ruben Dias because De Laurentiis wasn't willing to sit down and negotiate for anything less than 100m+.

Also, what's with all this Kounde hate all of a sudden that I see here? :lol:

He's been one of the best CBs in La Liga for the last 2-3 years. He's not tall sure, but he's very quick, agile, great on the ball, and combative despite his short height.

There's been multiple great CBs on the shorter side. Some people are just dumb.


I guess you say it because of the 8 years differential between two of them. Otherwise, you may sound dumb for some people, because Koulibaly is a World class center-back and Kounde is yet to make a name outside of La Liga. Just my opinion.

He should be no1 priority above Raphinia, Lewa, and everyone else...

Just close the deal with SEvilla before Chelsea steps in and retaliates for RAphinia

65m in installments is a fair price for his talent and prospect for a decade...

Lol, defenders have never been a priority at Barca. We always try to buy defenders on the cheap. That's one of the reasons why we fail in Cl.
Kounde is overrated imo. Hope Chelsea get him.

Well said.. Then we have Araujo and Kounde as starting CBs and for back up Garcia and Christiansen.. CB is the most urgent signing..

Why do we even need him with Christensen. 4 CBS already (pique, arujo, Ricky Garcia, Christensen) so are we going to bench 3 CBS?

One of them can't defend without causing a penalty and grabbing other strikers from the neck, and Pique is unreliable, old, and seems to like partying these days. And Araujo is constantly picking up injuries. One starting CB is a must.

We may have numbers, but the quality is not there. Certainly uncomparable with Miltao and Rudiger.
