It’s just easier right … I’m all for it
Its like a new signing.
OAP, useless lump and a tekky midget. Nothing to fear there.
None of those guys make up for losing Rudiger alone, never mind the rest of their backline that have jumped ship.
That doesn't seem a balanced assessment of their options, especially given that so called OAP was one of the best defenders in the league last season.
People who have watched Kounde regularly rate him very highly, and I've only ever seen good things from Koulibaly.
I'm afraid that like us with Spence, Villa are the only team interested.
I've only every seen bad things from Koulibaly - been exposed against English teams. Big presence but shite on the ball.
Thiago had his moments but was injured a lot and he can't go on forever.
Kounde seems talented but lets see how he adapts to the physicality of the PL.
I just think the two new signings don't offer close to what Rudiger did for Chelsea. His will to win alone seemed to drag them through games at points.
This leak is probably intended to tease out any other clubs that might fancy him. Assuming none appear, he’s gone
Agree
No way he is at Spurs at the end of this window.
Obvs let's hope we can get a decent fee. But if nobody else wants him...
Rudiger might have been the best CB in the league last year. Not an easy hole to fill.
Hope Spence looks good in training otherwise why have we spent so long trying to buy him ?
Crap defender. Think he played for hull when we thrashed them 7-1 last day of season. Alderweireld scored I remember and we were queuing up to score. Turns like a battleship maguire. Even van der vaart was stunned united paid 80m for him.
I agree with the rest but Kounde is real class.
You could easily say "lets see how he adapts to the physicality of the PL" for Perisic, Lenglet, Haaland or anyone for that matter.
Investment in the future?
