Controversial opinion. I know he has his negatives but De Ligt is levels above Kounde.

Big problem was Raiola and how inflated his wages have become.

Your controversial opinion is probably right.
I had a very controversial opinion maybe three years ago that de Ligt wasn't really that great or becoming that great (this was before his move to Italy) but now he seems to be a bit underrated instead (predictably). I have not been extremely impressed by Kounde, but I didn't watch him play that much though.

Both De Ligt and Kounde are overrated.
De Ligt only looked good in Ajax. His turning radius is like the Titanic. Kounde is just overrated.

I saw one game of his in juve shirt, dude was left for dead alone with 3 players in the box, guy with the ball panicked and almost fluked the assist, de ligt covered shooting lane and obvious pass for tap in, and almost intercepted the pass to the whoever scored lately. He's top class for sure, juve were and are in same shit like we are, even vvd would eat shit in those circumstances

Still think he has talent to be top class defender but he hasn't progressed in Juve. Plus usually make mistakes in important games.
 
Very good signing for you. You got some quality options at CB this year.

We feel the secondary qualities that Alaba had who for sure is not the best defender when you see defending qualities, but he is good with the built up and a very good leader to others. That are the qualities we really need and that de Ligt seems to bring in - and he is good in the air, too. It is always the package of defenders you have that need to complement each other. S?le e.g. was meant to grow into a leader role - somewhat he never did as it is against his personality.
