23 - Jules Kounde

[Porque]

Can't imagine Depay wages are too crazy either considering they were negotiated by the current board.

If Dest went it would mean that one of Araujo or Kounde may spend considerable minutes as a RB. Or even a modified 3 man D with Kounde/Azpi as right centre and Raphinha covering the right wing.

Not too crazy probably, more like Sevilla pay low salaries.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Maybe Sevilla is playing "hard to get" with bluff in their hands. They se Laporta is throwing 50+ millions all around so they jumped the money train.

 

[DonAK]

Chelsea are signing Ake and Kimpembe in addition to Koulibaly.

PSG trying to close a deal for Skriniar.

Looks more and more like he will join us. A reporter close to Sevilla said they expect us to make an official bid next week.

 

[Co0ter]

Koulibaly is gone and reports are stating he wants to go to England. Hope we have a plan C.

 

[Sooke]

I agree. If Kounde was so great Chelsea would have snapped him up asap. Kounde is a mistake but that stubborn mule Xavi and dumbass Laporta insist on him.

Yapp. Kounde's signing will be big mistake. A mistake from the magnitude of the signings of Umtiti, Lenglet and Pjanic. Chelsea's American owners are willing to pour tons of money to satisfy Tuchel ambition to rebuild their team. Personally, I like the German as a manager. If he wants Kounde, Boehly will bring him in North London in just a few days. But, ... instead of Kounde, Tuchel wants to sign Nathan Ake from City and/or Presnel Kimpembe from PSG. As a matter of fact, there is no interest in Jules Kounde from any other team. That should open Xavi's eyes and he should start looking for someone else.

We would probably have to pay them 85M + these guys then

You probably meant; we have to pay them 85 mil. so, they can get those guys. That may be very good deal for Barcelona. I don't see any other European power-house to have that much useless players in their rosters. And we can easily add to these four some more - Neto, Braithwaite and FERRAN TORRES.

They just signed Koulibaly too.

Tuchel's squad building IQ is levels above Xavi lmao.

Xavi probably LOVES Ferran, doesn't he?

Barca has a shitload of players to offer to reduce this 65m. The problem is by how much

Lets take a look how we are doing so far on the market.

Coutinho - Sold for 20 mil.
Trincao - sold for 10 mil ( 50 % of his rights )
Minaj - Sold for 10 mil.
_________________________________________ Total from sales : 40 mil.

Raphinha - 65 mil BP = 76.8 mil euro
Lewa - 50 mil.
Kounde - 60 mil.
Azpilicueta - 10 mil
M.Alonso - 10 mil.
______________________________ Total for new players: 201.8 mil. Is that a good business for Barcelona ?

 

[malvolio]

Chelsea wanted Kounde since last season, but the move didn't happen. Probably this time they found out that the player favours a move to Barcelona and they had to find other targets. After all they need lots of players in defense.

Ake or Kimpembe are bums, don't know why Tuchel should get praise for buying them. Probably won't even start anyway. Koulibaly wants 10M a season net in salary. Why would we invest in a soon to be past it player, who never proved himself outside Italy?

 

[vuji_31]

We could get Rudiger for free, but his salary is massive.
Same for Koukibaly, 20mil per season before tax is too much. Also transfer is 40mil worth woth add-on.

Kounde for 35-40, plus Depay is good bussiness.

He is young, knows league and fits with Araujo. Only problem is that he is right footed.

Even if he fails I belive he will have resell value.

 

[El Barcelona]

Even if he fails I belive he will have resell value.

Not so sure about this, when was the last time we sold a failure for good money? If he's not good enough we probably stick with him or loan him out for the reminder of his contract.

 

[vuji_31]

When you buy average player for 150mil and give him 20mil after tax it is hard to resell.

All the folks saying Kounde is shit or bad are yet to say why they think he would be a bad signing. Just yelling at the clouds.

Lenglet vibes

Because he's not physical enough, his tackling and strength are lacking. He's good at intercepting, dribbling and aeriel ability is ok. His passing is decent but not great. His mentality is ok but not great. How many french flops must we cycle through?
