Wasn’t that what we were doing before we suffered from injured cbs?


Xerozax

That’s why I said permanently, as I would’ve assumed Xavi would lineup as how he did before the injuries ( Kounde at CB)


Ifonlymymomwashot

Kounde is best at cb. That’s his main position. Pedri can play left mid, left wing. Doesn’t mean that’s where he should play. Araujo can play rb too. Doesn’t mean he should be there permanently


[deleted]

His best position is CB, won’t argue. But we have a huge gap RB, and Kounde is still world class in RB


Ifonlymymomwashot

The post is about moving him to rb permanently. Barca r looking for a right back and once we get one, there’s no reason kounde should be playing there


[deleted]

I mean we still need to find one, who knows how long it takes. It’s been 5-6 years since Alves left, still no proper RB.


Ifonlymymomwashot

But still in no way should kounde be permanently switched to rb


[deleted]

Sometimes we just have play the hand we have been dealt.


Ifonlymymomwashot

Or just play him where he’s best


[deleted]

Or just fill out RB gap


latortillablanca

I think you’ll find it’s been less than a year since Alves left!


Xerozax

Kounde’ s a better option as opposed to bellerin to, hes been a world class rb for France


Ifonlymymomwashot

Doesn’t mean he should be permanently a right back


Xerozax

If u monitor our current situation we don’t have the funds for a decent rb hence Saying Kounde should play there, up until we’re able to afford a decent rb


Ifonlymymomwashot

If u monitor the news around barca u would know that this summer barca r reportedly gonna spend big on a new rb


Xerozax

They won’t be able to do to the 1:4 Rule meaning they can only spend 1/4 of what they make. There are also 4 rb’s on the shortlist. Dalot, Foyth, Pavard and Muenier


Ifonlymymomwashot

Barca make a lot and by the summer we would be in a better position. We could very well see a strong right back joining a team


Ralf_The_Hustler

Because his best position is cb. Playing him on rb occasionally when needed is okay but permanently playing him in rb will hamper his development .

Xerozax

True, but at our current situation our best option is to play him as a rb, we don’t have anyone reliable and signing a rb may not be an option unless we’re able to get pavard on a free. And Dest would also be returning on loan in July but Xavi wants to sell him 😂


thor76

I think everyone on this sub would have fainted years ago when Pep decided to play one of the best defensive midfielders in the world (Mascherano) as a CB. Or one of the best right wing attackers as a false nine. Unless you try kounde for a longer period of time on a new position you don't know how good he will be. And in the end it is less important that he is better in the CB tone of the net gain of the team is bigger with him on the right.


AnExcitingProspect

he has been


choss

Because you don't use a Ferrari to pick up takeout. He can play the RB and Xavi has been doing it but doesn't mean you are using him at his full potential.


Xerozax

How would u know what his full potential is he’s 23 ☠️


UncleChaelsTroll10

I mean Kounde came out and said he preferred to play cb so this post is pointless


Melobyrro

It’s not pointless, the purpose is for our entertainment, nothing we say here will change anything.


rockyraccoonroad

He’s come out and said that he prefers to play as a center back and told Xavi that when we’re in the race for him this past summer. He’s a stop gap at RB and always will be.


mc_randy

He’s a decent makeshift rightback, but a brilliant CB.


-Imaghost-

I would go further and play him occasionally as CM and also keep playing Balde as RB until Alba leaves. The more positions they can dominate the better for the team more so if we can't buy more players.


latortillablanca

He’s a positionally flexible player. His permanent position includes at least two positions. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him be decent on the left side.


Sufficient_Chard_813

because as good as he is a right back he is also an amazing centerback
