I have a feeling they will do. Kounde must have been assured they are coming in for him for him to be holding us off. He must have something pretty concrete....

This is what Eriksen was told a number of times too, reportedly.

If its not Kounde, difficult to see who the other options are

Lacroix wont be sold by Wolfsburg from here - as per their sporting director
Jerome Botaeng - available on free
Pau Torres - United going for Varane so could be available
Lenglet - Barca wants to sell him for 15m
Demiral - injury prone.
Botman -good player from Lille

There are few others in Bundesliga & Ligue1. Its anyone's guess.

If it's not Kounde then I have full confidence in Paratici to bring in a quality alternative. Just loving his work so far.

If a good offer for Lacroix comes in, they will sell.

I think Pau Torres would balance Romero well.

I thought Milenkovic would be the alternative to Kounde?

not seen loads of Milenkovic, is he any good?

Shite...
His links to us is just agent talks. Fact that its 4 years into his serieA deal, no other SerieA clubs have got him. I have seen him in 1 international game (TV)...he got beat in the air by minion Diego Jota for 2 goals and finished the game with red.

He is one player I dont want this summer.

I cant see Untied going for Kounde as well. So, if RM dont want Kounde, then runway is clear for us to him. It will come down to whether we can raise the cash and do everything possible to convince the player.
But before this, we got to wrap up Romero deal

N'Dicka?? We were linked earlier in the summer, left sided CB, good pace, strong player.

Never seen him play but from scouting reports/description he’s one that would seem to be a really nice fit for what we need.

Personally, if we buy Romero and Tomiyasu I don't know if we would seriously pursue Kounde.
We already have Tanganga and Rodon and Nuno/Paratici may prioritise other areas and only push the button on Kounde or others of a great deal can be made
