The player is very good, my only question is whether or not he'll be remotely affordable given he joined Borussia Monchengladbach this season for 9m and has done well.

Manu, the other two have had success recently

Were we in the CL this season, or Europa next?

First off, that’s a fantastic name, secondly I know nothing about him other than he has a fantastic name.

Ah yes the coveted 4th place trophy.

Mentioned this bloke a couple of times. He’s immense. Defensively really solid, good in the air, good dribbler and carrier, but he doesn’t create much. Quite similar to a right sided KDH but a bit better defensively with less of a goal threat.

Him and KDH behind Maddison in a 4231 would be lethal

We’d be mad open as well by the looks of him… I was more thinking him and KDH ahead of Wilf/Sangare :brendan:

I hope there’s actually some substance in this rumour.

 

I wanted a player with a bit more about them to replace Soumare, Kone would be ideal.

 

Can play as a CDM or CM, far better than Soumare defensively, plus he’s a solid ball carrier.

 

Cheick Doucoure of Lens is another player we should be looking at, but I certainly wouldn’t mind if Kone ended up being Soumare’s replacement 🤞🏻

The old Wilf maybe and that would be immense pressing from the midfield 8’s but I think there’s a lot of energy and defensive awareness from this guy and certainly KDH to close spaces a lot more than we currently do.

All at the club should be told that only top three get CL - then when we inevitably bottle 3 rd place ………

Genius. Email Brendan immediately. Champions league final 2024. At Wembley. Written in the stars.

...he looks a potentially good prospect!!!

  Has a tendency to go to ground under contact too often and you wonder if that is down to his balance or an attempt to buy free kicks.

  He does hold on to the ball a bit too long and his lay offs or forward pass tends to be underhit. He seems to love to bring the ball forward but fails to release players in space when the situation arises. This is something he will learn hopefully. 

  I would still rather a more creative player in that position. Pity that the Soumare acquisition has not worked out as he looked like the perfect fit for that position.

Would help us deal with out set piece issue, which I don't believe just goes away by Rodgers working with the squad in the summer.

Yes please

We need this type of player in the midfield and the fact that we are also interested/were interested in Sangare, maybe we actually get someone with similar qualities 

good on ball, can dribble, physical and does defensive duties

Looks like he could be the 6/8 we need.

 

If we sign him he can replace Mendy, Choudhury & Soumare in one fell swoop. Probably cuts our wage bill down by something like £7m a year too

Obligatory YouTube video!! Based solely on this gerrriiimmmin

On the second play, he makes a tackle in the box without giving up a penalty. GERRIMIN. 

 

Someone keep tabs on his social media in case he dyes his hair blue.

Good player.
 

Quite intrigued how we will look next season. Players like this and Sangare are less creative but higher energy and more dominant. Kante by himself was not a creative player but he made the team more creative because he turned the ball over so regularly. Having a player like this and KDH would make us Liverpool esque but a lot more emphasis would be put on our fullbacks and Barnes. 

 

Seems inevitable we will someone who is harder working and more physical than Youri but less creative, which has pros and cons.
