If we lose him (and getting no reinforcements for CB), we will be lucky to win even CDR. This is arguably a worse squad than 23/24 injury-ridden Barca. I'm absolutely shocked at how bad the squad planning has been this year after all the trophies we won. Downright embarrassing and I'm surprised...

Match was basically a training session in the 2nd half

he’s still fitting in, lots of pressure being the first Brit player at the club in what, 30+ years?

He looked way out of position in some Mallorca attacks. It’s fine vs lowly LL sides, but he will get exposed heavily in the CL (again)

Squad depth? Wtf are you smoking? Who is a solid backup to Araujo/Kristensen and Cubarsi? One of them injured and we will have matches with wild scorelines, like 7-6 or 7-8

all this drama is going to destroy the 25/26 season. Hoping we can retain LL.

Nothing tops the 2019 CL semis vs Liverpool. That was a choke job that will forever be remembered in this sport's history, up there coincidentally with our 6-1 over PSG in 2017. After that loss the squad should've blown up, with MATS being the first to get the boot.

it's not so much the skillset with the ball, it's more his IQ and his positioning for the offside traps.

Many rumors that Dumfries was willing to come here but the club never approached Inter. I guess you are right because if we signed him, we would be further away from the 1-1 rule. It was still worth a shot. Dumfries is an excellent player and could've easily converted Kounde to starting CB

So basically, sacrificing the 25/26 season you mean?

I bet you RM is celebrating with a BBQ as we speak. This is a huge transfer market for them. Their biggest rivals lost their starting CB. Mbappe and Vinicius are counting how many goals they can score against the numpty dumbty Araujo and Glass Kristensen.

Please tell me you're joking. Him and Cubarsi were our best CB pairing by a long shot. Let's see how Araujo and Glass Kristensen do when you have to play a match every 3 days with the physically draining Flick system...

You're insane if you think his departure won't have a huge impact. Our defense is the weakest link of this club. What's Flick going to do now? Convert Casado and Bernal to backup CB's? All of Araujo, Cristensen, Cubarsi, and Balde get injured a lot.

Absolutely insane if Deco and Laporta are counting on him to stay fit throughout the season. What a buncha morons.

WTF, this kills so much of our momentum. Why didn't he suck it up and play one more season? Surely the glory of winning the CL is a motivator for any athlete. Could even just opt to be a backup CB. Now we definitely won't sign any CB or any other defender. Absolutely disastrous planning by...

Nope, RM has gotten a lot better and PSG is still there. Not to mention Liverpool and Chelsea who look much better now too. It will be a very difficult road if we do somehow win, ala 2015.

It's incredible really, probably the most overvalued footballer the world has ever seen

What I don't seem to understand is how badly he's damaging his reputation and career with all of these theatrics. He is still not old for a GK and he could easily fight to be at the NT if he decides to join another team and revamp everything. His stubborness is going to destroy his career.

How happy would I be if we manage to sign him... Most CL winning teams in the past 10 years have beasts for fullbacks. Him and Balde on the sides would cause HAVOC for teams. Can't believe this forum is underestimating him. We can easily rotate Kounde to CB or back to RB when Dumfries needs...

It's a little hard to believe that he's still only 27 years old... Feels like this cat has been hyped by English media for the past 15 years.
