23 - Jules Kounde

[Iniesta Ultra]

we can easily do better with a replacement

We will see

A replacement should be signed and compete with Kounde. If that signing proves to be better than Jules, then Jules should be sold and that's it

One thing I know is that there are very few defenders who are solid in both attack and defense in football. Those are very rare. Jules is not great in attack, he can't cross, can't dribble but he is great at making some runs, delivering some low crosses and like we saw, he can also shoot sometimes. In defense he is very good, to the point I don't think there is a better defensive right back.

Vanderson, from what I heard, is good in both attack and defense. But he has to prove it in Barça and if he is, then Kounde should be sold.

Definitely no better defensive right back.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

attack's the best defense obv

Barca/Bayern heritage

They put him on a hamster wheel connected to Spains national grid to restore the electricity.

Legend.

His Maradona moment. I will always remember that goal. Out of nowhere, boom. Madrid finished.

I don't think you guys are watching directly. Jules is a better attacking fullback than defensive. 1v1 he is terrible and he has no speed. He is much better in attack with his connection to yamal and his movement. His attacking output will be much harder to replace then defense

If you want Kounde out at this point there's something seriously wrong with you lol. He's been incredible, especially considering he was primarily a CB before us and had to become a full time RB under Xavi. His link up with Yamal is amazing, he's a solid defender and his attacking output has massively improved in the past year. Also he's a super dedicated athlete, that's an incredibly important attribute.

He started out as RB at Bordeaux and was used as a combonof full back/CD even at Sevilla before Xavi.

Sure but he was primarily a CB and that's what everyone and himself also expected he would be playing when he came to us.

Your point?

Yes you are right, but it was not Xavi that converted him to a FB. He has always been one from beginning.
