Jules Koundé

Sevilla are only a Champions League club until they inevitably drop out of the group stages and win the Europa League again.

Damn you were quick, I deleted that after 2 seconds

You been chatting to my ex wife?

No they didn't. Kounde wanted a Champions League club.

From their point of view they successfully blocked us. If there were no other serious candidates for his signature then you cannot say beyond doubt that he'd have been unpersuadable (he'd have received a huge pay raise for one thing). Indeed several journalists and itk have suggested such was the case.

He was not hanging on for a "champions league club" blindly. Chelsea would have made him more than aware they intended to bid. He rejected us because he was hanging on for them. I very much doubt his decision was specifically related to the CL anyway. More that Chelsea are a superior club at present.

He had no intention of signing for us from the start. You only need to check back to page 1 of this thread for the post where I said it. The information came directly from the player's camp.

Thanks for the advice but I don't need to do that because I remember you saying it. I said what I said regardless, and I stick by it.

It's not even contradictory from what you heard anyway.

Fair play to his club, they held on to the crown jewels, think it's likely his price will increase as well, probably out of our price bracket now, so delighted Chelsea did not get him.
