2 CBs (if we can offload a few, ie. Sanchez & Toby) + a RB has always been what Ally Gold said the club want to do.Personally, if we buy Romero and Tomiyasu I don't know if we would seriously pursue Kounde.
We already have Tanganga and Rodon and Nuno/Paratici may prioritise other areas and only push the button on Kounde or others of a great deal can be made

In my opinion theres genuinely no comparison between Kounde & Tanganga/Rodon. If we want to get back to competing like we used to we need 2 new starting CBs.

He would.
These defenders are huge upgrades and will hopefully move us back towards peak Toby/Jan standardsYep. Do we really want to handicap Romero by playing Dier or Rodon next to him? They just aren't in the same class.
If we signed Romero and one other top CB, I couldn't care less if we signed nobody else this window. It would transform our prospects. I just feel even Romero on his own isn't enough to fix us, because we will still have a massive weakness on the other side.

But
We desperately need a ball playing CM that can pass and play through the lines.
Our midfield has been desperately pedestrian and predictable for a long time and I think this has been part of the problem for our defenders. Playing without the ball has massively increased the pressure and then highlighted individual and collective weaknesses.
Im sure we all hope Skipp can make this role his but a true CM is a must for me.
I don’t think this will happen if it’s true that Kounde is waiting out for a move to one of the elite. We’ve heard how much Paratici doesn’t like waiting around, sets his deadlines and moves onto the next one. I would have thought there would be more competition for his signature but doesn’t seem to be much atm

Looks like this will get done, and at £35m Real would still presumably need more funds to be able to go for Kounde.
(on another note, £35m is an absolute steal for United. What a deal that is.)

There have been a few sources saying Madrid don't want Kounde.

That and they have three main CBs plus I think I read earlier they want to bring through youth to fill it out? Not entirely sure, but either way Kounde wouldn't be a starter I don't think.Bizarrely I just don’t think they have the money. Maybe if they got rid of players like hazard they might but do they really need Kounde anyway.
