At this point I’m going to be disappointed if this guy isn’t a combination of John Terry, Beckenbauer, and Maldini in one, along with having the smooth singing voice of Otis Redding.

I'm sitting on a dock of a bay just wasting time....

I’m sitting in the dock near a bay wishing I could get out and play.

They're gonna be calling me Mr. Pitiful alright if we sign Kounde. I must really be missing something with this player.

Seen a few reports Sevilla are not desperate for the cash and will only sell if their value is met.

So far we have offered 50mill and they want 65mill. We have apparently shown now desire to up that offer, Sevilla no desire to take it and it remains on the table.

Transfermarkt values him at 60 million Euros. I think we will offer something around that.

I am sure there are things that I don't know but it feels we are wasting time when our already strong contenders are making great signings. This should have been wrapped a long time ago.

 

 

and what i really like is his aggressive nature 

and he reminds me of James, he's also very broad, very strong 

imagine having to go past James and then having to face Koundé, insanely strong right side 

if you somehow manage to get passed both there is always Thiago Silva sweeping up 

can't wait for the transfer to be confirmed

I think TT can even swap James and Koundé around 

play Koundé as right wingback and James as RCB

Don't see this happening. Sevillas price is too high and we know if we wait a year he goes to 1 year left on his contract and they become far more desperate to cash in or lose him for free. Marina is still in charge of negotiations so I don't see her caving to Sevilla as she did not last time out.

I hope he can speed the ball movement out of defence up a bit. Personally I won’t be surprised if Silva is off the pace next season. 

We need this guy, there is no point of dragging this any longer just sign him for 70m and keep going. Seriously we can't lose here.

Chelsea all over though. None of the other big guns in our league Seem to fanny around as much as us. This Kounde saga has become laughable really.

Played for France tonight while injured and f***ed his hamstring. Now needs an operation. Thank you Deschamps.

If true then we need to assess other options. 
 

Complete hamstring tears become chronic as the scar tissue develops. 

Reports are about he is off to Barca at the insistence of Xavi anyways.

So he has an injury that dates back months and instead of getting it sorted, he carries on playing into mid June.........so much for player welfare. The Sevilla and France medical team are a joke.

Shows a real lack of care for a potential summer move.

Will seriously question Boehly if we still pursue him. 
 

You tend to need hamstring surgery for only proximal hamstring tears, and the recovery period is around 2-3 months.

Lol that is Deschamps for you. Think he is a big part why Kante can’t ever stay fit, he is injured again on International duties.

Lampard and Tuchel as well. The moment he’s “fit” he’s thrown back in.

Adorable to think it is Deschamps' personal decision to throw him in a pointless game. 

Maybe our medical team is adding some value. Good to be able to commit after the damages is measured.
