Hey Ed001 I hope you're doing well.

With the potential arrival of Kounde I was wondering what you think of him, and how he would fit in the team. I've heard some good things about him, but I haven't really seen him much myself.

{Ed001's Note - I really like Kounde, excellent young defender with a lot of potential. He is a modern day centre-back, quick, strong and excellent on the ball. I would say he is just about the best possible option you could have gone for.}

Concerns of his height and how he’d match to the physicality and height in the PL.
Do u think that will be an issue if TT plays 4 at the back.

{Ed001's Note - not in the slightest, the only team that uses height as a weapon is Burnley, so that is only 2 games a season where he would be even pushed in that regard. Personally I think his leap is more than good enough to match up to any forward he will come up against.}

I agree Ed there’s not many teams who use an old school no 9 as there focal point any more except maybe the likes of Kane, DCL and Wood. The rest of the teams in the top have strikers that aren’t big strikers. The likes of Firmino, Jesus, Vardy to name a few.

Thanks Ed! That’s definitely a glowing recommendation, I’m pretty excited about this transfer now, sounds like he could be just what we need in the defence.

{Ed001's Note - I think he is what Chelsea need. I like Zouma, but I think Kounde is a better modern day centre-back, so it would be a step up.}
