This signing just makes sense... 
Wolfsburg dont want to sell to a rival, read that if a team abroad offers what they want they will accept that.

Never heard of this guy but you lot seem to be impressed by him. Hoping the original source isn't the Express if he's that good.

Di Marzio mentioned him first. And Romano also mentioned him.
Watched a bit of Wolfsburg last season and thought him and Brooks were a really good partnership.
Di Marzio seems well connected with Paritici. Keep an eye on his spurs comments.
If we like him, we should be able to pay him wages that blow Leipzig out of the water.

I've watched 9 minutes of him on YouTube and I'm sold. Very two footed (can see where the Ledley comparisons come from), big, strong and quick, as well as good on the ball. He's even got the Dawson cross field punt out to the left wing sorted.
Can't wait to see him in action for Leicester next season.

Take the amount of fans who say they’re hugely impressed with him, and divide it by 6, and you’ll have the amount of fans who had heard his name before we were linked.

Refreshing change from the usual "too short, too slow" posts one was expecting.
Don't recall seeing him play, but looks a beast, and think there's every chance we land him when pronouncing his name Makesense.
Thought I'd get in quick after witnessing the lame Pjanic name jokes.

He's highly rated in Germany, very highly rated. Think its just the case teams aint taking a chance yet because he's 21 and only had one season. Also that Wolfsburg are in UCL and not desperate to sell. This would be the time to go all out and get him even with the doubts. It's a similar situation to Leicester and Fofana.

Waiting for the inevitable mispronunciations of his surname.

I have no clue of the potential price difference between Kounde and Lacroix, but in that 25-35 mil range, this is probably the best possible CB signing we could make. Pace, height, and strength, but quick feet and good lateral movement to make him great 1v1. Elegant on the ball, but would like to see him add more accurate long passes to his game. I saw on Twitter someone say he’s the French Ben Godfrey, and I actually think that’s a really good comparison. Still want Kounde, but this player is also fantastic, and has better physical tools to work with as a prem CB. One full breakout season in a major league like Fofana, and Lacroix has all the tools that Fofana has, and of course is super young. Also the pronunciation is max-ahnce la-kwah (thanks French teacher from 5 years ago).
