    One of our biggest weaknesses for years now is we got killed on the counter but this looks good.

    Busi running at full speed with 10m advantage. Christensen and Kounde zoom past him, and Gavi close as well. Raphinha also tracking back with Araujo coming a bit later.

    Good to see that kind of mentality.

    Incredibly satisfying to finally see some speed on the team. Kounde and Christensen were almost the two most advanced players on the pitch, yet first ones back. Covered almost the whole pitch in something like 10 seconds. Beautiful.

    True, who knew that speed and quickness is important in defense......

    We were complaining for years. Now every counter isn't that dangerous. Pique, Lenglet, Garcia it was disaster always.

    I didn't know Christensen is that fast.

    Yeah he was always known for having decent pace particularly for his height.

    Really tried to tell everybody that he wasn't a new Lenglet or rich mans Lenglet or whatever people her were saying.

    Badly need another Christensen-like signing. Maybe not for free, but on good terms for the club, one that is young-ish and can improve the team.

    He was saving energy for that sprint over last 4-5 years.

    Ndicka, Thuram and Kamada potential good ones. But different compared to a CL winner like Christensen pf course. Could be new Kessies.

    Would take all of them and see what they can offer. Can always sell if not good enough.

    Doubt we actually have any chances with these guys though. Unless they are willing to wait we probably won't be able to sign a pre-contract with anyone before end of season when we can potentially sell some players who are currently out on loan or fringe players like Eric or Kessie but that won't be enough. Would have to take significant loss if decide to sell Ferran and Raphinha with 4 years left on the contract has big amortisation costs so wouldn't make big profit on him even if we somehow manage to sell him for around the same money we've spent on him.
