James was already a ready made replacement there.

Kounde in the centre should be fine
This lad has mad stats. Just check this out:

''He was the highest rated centre-back in La Liga last season according to WhoScored with a rating of 7.01 - a greater score than Raphael Varane (6.85), Jose Gimenez (6.78) and Gerard Pique (6.80).

Furthermore, within the Sevilla squad, Kounde ranked highest for passes into the final third (165), aerial duels won (118), ball recoveries (312) and interceptions (42), demonstrating the roundness of his game. Across all u23 year olds in La Liga last season, Kounde also ranked highest for headed clearances, passes into the opposition half, and most possession won in the defensive third.

Whilst Kounde exhibits the skills of a ‘complete’ defender, he particularly excels at playing out from the back - a valuable trait in Thomas Tuchel’s 3-4-3 setup. When compared to other centre-backs in Europe’s ‘top five’ leagues, Kounde ranks in the top 10% for progressive passing distance per 90 (432m), short passes completed per 90 (21.1), and pass completion rate for medium passes per 90 (95.8%).''


What this ninja lacks in vertical presence he sure makes up in aggression!

Kounde is 5ft10 for fücksake. Good player though, but EPL will target him in the air
Azpilicueta is equally 5ft10. With Jules preferring the right centre-back role, and Azpilicueta hitting 32 later this month, we may have found a replacement for the skippo in TT's three at the back setup.

Kane, Tchouameni and Kounde would have been my preferred order.

Griffon is it because of his forward runs you want to convert him to a DM?
Superb tackling and man-marking skills, let's not forget that he's technically adept too. He can do a Wilfred Ndidi.

I watched his clips well today and i share the same sentiment.
Two things i'm always on the lookout for; great positional awareness and anticipation skills, these are traits Kounde has in his locker. I'm sure some of the ninjas here who are complaining about his height haven't seen Jules leap.

I'm a big fan of Kounde, and im sure he would thrive in TT's system, be it as a CDM, CB or RB. Boy is just smooth, just the way Tuchel wants his team to play.

Media reports in Spain are linking us to Sevilla's centre-back Jules Kounde even though Nuno Santo has highlighted the French man as his first Spurs signing and manyoo seem to be lurking around.

I don't know about you, but If signed, I'll convert that nigga to a CDM.
Just over a month today!

I reiterate, If signed, na straight to DM. That nigga is some player.

The Colombian beast! I saw him during the Copa America, he had a great campaign. I doubt Chelsea would want to look his direction given he's already 27. He's a f**king beast, I tell you that.

Below was Neymar being reduced to nothing in his hands months ago.

We're considering moving for Sergio Romero as replacement for Caballero. This should be nailed down as soon as possible, cos one can't just trust Kepa during the AFCON.

lol, more of like her dad did the talking, read she is more talented than Reece. Cheers to chelsea ladies winning the league again next season.
There was hardly a talk, the babe was part of the Chelsea Academy from Under-10s to Under-14s, before moving to Arsenal then Manure. She's Chelsea in and out. The James' family are blue blooded, no debates there.

No be to chook mouth for una argument, but na to just let una know say for my place, na common thing for rainmakers to bring down rain or even hold it from falling.

BBC don even try confirm the thing, at least them try put their money where dem mouth dey. No be to dey bark for Nairaland, looking for whom to Caps lock to death in e-fights.
