They say a small salary, that's what i was kind of expecting, the same salary or a small bump, since he's already on good wages for a Defender.

He's here to stay. The club likely already extended his contract until 2030. Deservedly so, he's been nothing short of a cornerstone defensively.

Sad times when likes of Kounde are touted as one of the best RBs out there. Or Balde on other side. Or Ferran as top sub.

Quality level decreased significantly across the board and not just in creative midfielder department as often said.

He's one of the very rare fullbacks in modern football who delivers both offensively and defensively. He's not world class in either segment, but at least he's good while likes of Trent are world class in offense and absolutely trash and useless defensively. I'd rather have a balanced mix with likes of Kounde.

That being said I hope Vanderson belongs to Kounde-class as well and can deliver in both segments. I heard he's offensively minded but I hope that doesn't mean he'll be the weak point of our defence if arrives.

Football has become faster and faster, and more and more physical. The types of players we saw some decades ago may never exist anymore unfortunately. The most effective footballer these days is a fast, strong one, who can play with one or two touches, and pass the ball quickly.

Modern football is so, so physical and fast that it needs a really special player to be able to break the mold (Lamine for instance).

Vanderson has been linked every summer for the last 5 years. At this point you have to question if it's from the club or agent.
