More doom and gloom Sim. How ironic given your earlier posts 🙄.

Always been a fan of Tielemans-might be expensive though . Bissouma at Brighton, Neves at Wolves, the Swiss fella Zakiara not bad either - all possibly available at a decent price -which to be honest is what it will come down to.
I read somewhere Kounde is under 5ft 10 - could be an issue.
Sancho has got that X factor, when you are trying to unlock a defence or when its 3 attackers v 4-5 defenders he skips past a couple with the ball and then you re in. could see him getting 75,000 fans on their feet, putting chances on a plate, I think we all miss that.

Kounde is 5'10, Fabio Cannavaro was 5'9 and Lindelof is 6'2.
Who are you backing to win a defensive header?
Height isn't everything when it comes to winning aerial duels, leap, timing, reading of the game and core strength are just as important.

Spot on Shappy, who ever said size doesn't matter!

Shappy - the tone of your post would indicate Lindelof isn't particularly good in the air - he isn't - won 59:9% of aerial duels last season . Kounde won 58% in a less physical league -so why would you want another defender who isn't very good in the air and would be targeted in PL.?
Answer to your question, I would back Lindelof as most recent statistics show he is better in the air.

BFBW, I chose Lindelof as he is taller than the other two and is often coined as a weak link in our defence for his perceived weakness in the air.
Whether he is or isn't wasn't really something I was particularly considering. Just challenging the perception that a taller is definitely better at heading the ball than a shorter player.

Lindelof gets bullied in the air and on the ground, he can't be first choice.
Im not saying it should be Kounde, but a change is needes!

Kounde has fantastic pace which suits the team as Maguire's partner.
Also, he has a good leap on him.
He was priced out of a move to Man City last summer. This year he is a target for Madrid.
Hugely talented defender.

Fair points Shappy. You guys maybe watch a lot more European football than me b I posted a few weeks ago I wish Ole would be ruthless and see bailly and Lindelof just aren't good enough i'd be happy to show them both the door if it meant we got one real quality CH.
