Jules Kounde only signed for Barça last summer, with Barça seeing off competition from Chelsea to sign Kounde from Sevilla. But with the transfer window approaching, it’s being said that Kounde would be open to leaving the La Liga champions due to being played at right-back by Xavi. We also discuss Man City’s Joao Cancelo, currently on loan at Bayern Munich.

BIG NEWS TODAY GUYS… What do you make of this from Kounde?!
Kounde should move his position from cb to rb permanently. if he try to improve his positioning he can be a great right back. For his physicality and ball control ability wing back role or 3 man defence system is better for him. I dont think he can perform in 4 back line as a cb in top level. Also wingback role will help get a place in france squad as cb role is stacked more than 10 players. I dont think he will be picked over konate,saliba,upamecano,fofana,varane,badiashile, as they are better cb in a 4 defence back line
Can he actually play at CB? On Sunday he was woeful at CBS and caused one goal.
I am not surprised, after Xavi didn't make the RB a priority signing. I don't blame the man.
Fun fact: if Barca sign Cancelo, and choose Kounde over Christensen for CB, we would still be able to all our backline B.A.C.K 😂
I would love cancelo at barca ,I also believe Jules and Ronald are the best CB pairing going forward
It's what happens when your coach promises things and then goes back on his words. I'm sure Kounde was promised to play at CB with Araujo, and instead of getting a RB Xavi is having wetdreams for Zumbimendi.
But even if there’s could be competition the guy we went for him knowing how good he is in his natural position.
For me christiensan should start ahead of kounde
never trust this man when he says “i love this transfer to happen”….same thing said in case of griezman….if balde is attacking, we need a defensive rb like pavard
Use him to get Kimmich bayern are having a defense problem and Tuchel was a fan?
If Chelsea offers €80M for Kounde we should for his plane ticket to London. We can debate all the sporting merits, but the financial situation would require us to accept.
Kounde is way better at rb he slipes up his mistakes at cb i dont think cancelo will Go to barca it just does not add up😮
What's funny is that we have broken defensive records this year. So, whatever we are doing at the back is working. Xavi needs to play 3 at the back and 4 in midfield.
I’d rather get rid of Christensen than kounde. Kounde rarely ever gets injured and is much younger. Let’s be logical here instead of emotional.
Just sell him n bring in a RB
Jules should be content with where the coach wants him to play coz if it's to maintain his favourite position he can't Chris not to talk about Arujo to be in the starting line up…he is luck we don't have a right back so let him stick to covering there coz once Barcelona buy a right back then he is going to the bench week in week out🤣🤣…..
I cant even look at barca now.what shit is xavi doing.they will lose today and more
How we loose today we don't have strong first 11, how we can have strong 2nd 11, we can't play E.Garcia at CDM
Ferran and Eric garcia should be given for free as charity to other clubs. I don't know what Xavi see in them.
Konde leaving?
To me is good news. He didn't show stability or high performance as he was supposed to.
It will be better for him and the club, but the price is important.
My CB partnership will be CHRISTENSEN & ARAUJO
Kounde is average. Sell for profit then invest properly.
Kounde is not a RB and can’t play there. Maybe in some of the league against low class teams but playing him internationally then we will be smashed again. Keep him as a backup as CB after AC and Araujo and buy a quality RB. I am still not convinced by his performances but it would be stupid to sell him. Offload Eric and Alonso instead.
Xavi could actually play a back 3 with Baldé the only one attacking from the backline
Christensen over Kounde at CB anytime any day
What do Xavi and Laporta hope to achieve with Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Franck Kessie, Marcos Alonso and Sergi Roberto next season ?
Another Europa League season ?
We seriously need Cancelo as a Right back
Sign cancelo. Play AC at def mid (he sometimes plays this position for Denmark). Kounde cb. So: Balde, kounde, araujo, cancelo, AC at def mid
araujo christenson and kounde have all been semi injury prone this season. I think all 3 will have a good amount of game time next season in anticipation of the injuries
Please why is Barca fumbling in these last four matches, have they sold the matches?
Kounde has cost 4 goals personally, 2 of which were own Goal. He is the least performer of the B.A.C.K pairing. We cant bench Araujo or Chirstainsen for him in the CB position
Well having Araujo, Christensen, Eric and now Inigo, it looks like Xavi's plans are to use him at RB again. He doesn't want that. Barca are gonna have 5 CB next season 2 LB and no RB. I respect his decision. Imagine being a CB and Xavi uses you as a Striker most of the season. 😂
Since Barca won Laliga they,ve been crap, it makes me want to support manchester city from today.
Christensen over Kounde
No one is paying 80-90 million for him 😅 He is a good player but not 90 million dollars player for sure
Xavi is torturing us with these lineups
