Would Trent Alexander-Arnold be a good option for Barcelona? | ESPN FC Extra Time

[@mohamedsahidkoroma1687]

I take Kounde everyday

[@pmwcgaming]

agree, but Kounde is a CB. Having Araujo and Kounde be the starting CBs, Cubarsi and Martínez for rotation, and Balde and Trent as fullbacks 👌🏼 really good on paper and Trent said Barca was his 2nd favorite club nice to know he rates them atleast

Kounde is a much better defensively but Trent is better offensively

​@@pmwcgamingi beg to differ. Kounde is proving hes a class RB. He fits better as a RB then a CB at this rate.

The person who said Kounde doesn’t give anything going foward should stop relying on Livescores and watch football. Kounde is a great defender, one of the best right backs in the world and above Trent.

[@DjVat0L0c0]

I was going to say the same thing Kounde does an amazing job both ways and has improved so much especially on that offensive side. Also you have Balde on the left flank that constantly attacks so there has to be balance. Who better to stop a counter than Kounde. I wish people actually watch Barcelona instead of assuming

Exactly!

[@13thghost42]

You both can cry me a lagoon if you so wish. Kounde made too many costly mistakes in the defense last season and didn't offer much in the attack. Perhaps, you both do not know much or have impaired memories. While it seems good now, wait till it's mid season, then write your thoughts again. In the end, for a team like Barca, he shouldn't be the first choice in that position, if finances weren't a problem, he certainly wouldn't be. While you might think his national team is worth mentioning, I do not care what happens when he's with France.

[@javierRcastro]

I would rather have Hakimi , Frimpong , or Dumfries . I think TAA would gel nicely in Barcelona’s midfield but they don’t need more players in that department . La Masia will keep producing til eternity.

[@michaela2776]

What’s the point of asking questions if all this guy know is Madrid?

[@Wraithynn]

Bcuz y’all broke and can’t afford Trent nor can you provide him with the glory he seeks in Europe. 😂😂

2:05 that question is about whether TAA would be good fit for Barca or not than Kounde at that position not about which club he’s more likely to move?? 🤦‍♂️

[@rwac07]

If there’s one position Barca doesn’t need a replacement on, it’s RB. Kounde is proving to be on one of the best at RB, and not so great at CB.

[@kingsleynwangwa2899]

Kounde is a fantastic player, very good at what he does, always playing his heart out 💪

You did not answer the question because you had to bring Real Madrid. Incredible. Also know that TTA is not a right back.

Jules kounde doesn't score goals yes but he's an exceptional defender,this season he has improved alot I don't know why these clowns are talking nonsense.

I definitely would. Kounde has been absolutely sensational, but TAA offers a lot going forward too, something Kounde has definitely been working on as well. Wonde if he could play on the left?

[@XYZ-tx9id]

Balde aint good enough for U?? He has been great, maybe not the best he ever was. But he is really good on the ball, crossing is decent. And he is half decent defensively. He is a really good attacking fullback. Isn't it good for the team, one great Defensive Rb and One great Attacking LB.

[@manofmanyideas]

I love to see in a Barca he would bring in much needed depth to the squad

[@davegoodwin1950]

PISSES ME OFF. TRENT IS A GOOD DEFENDER, HES JUST NOT THE BEST IN WORLD FOOTY. HES THE BEST RB THOUGH. IM PRETTY CERTAIN IF HE WASN'T TOLD TO HELP PROVIDE AND ASSIST GOALS AND JUST STAYED BACK TO DEFEND ONLY, PPL WOULD SEE HE ACTUALLY CAN DEFEND.

[@arhamimam8547]

The way Kounde had stepped up this season, Trent would be on the bench. But I would be lying if I wouldn’t want to see how Trent and Yamal partnership would work

[@merciojunior2569]

Saying Kounde doesn’t offer anything upfront is typical from football fans who only watch game highlights on KZbin or Twitter. Kounde has a great understanding with Lamine, and since lamine is so offensive, he covers for him in defense. Having him as our right back is perfect, imagine Lamine and Trent on the same wing, we would get battered on that right side 😂

[@chinitopogi7511]

I still question his consistent defense on a 1v1 level. Instead of focusing on experienced right back, Real Madrid should invest on wonderkids It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2029. We are referring to Modric, Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos", Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", & Guler. Confirmed leaving Real Madrid as some will no longer renew, return to their respective football club that are being loaned out to Real Madrid and a few getting sold permanently with or without a buy back clause on or before September 2024: Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Arrizabalaga & Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez. Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027. Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Josh Acheampong Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Joskol Gvardiol Centre Back: William Alain André Gabriel Saliba, Vitor de Oliveira Nunes dos Reis Centre Defensive Midfielder: Rodrigo "Rodri" Cascante Centre or Attacking Midfield: Florian Wirtz, Franco Mastantuono Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Darmian, Walker, Trippier, Di Lorenzo, Cancelo, Kimmich, Dumfries, Calabria, White, Mazraoui, Ryerson, Wan-Bissaka, Molina, Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi, Tomiyasu, Royal, Dalot, Porro, James, Boey, Frimpong, Couto, T, Carvalho Santos, Livramento, Rensch, Terracciano, Gusto, Bradley, Sanchez, Fresneda, Lewis, Gray, & Lima.

[@trayjacksontigers]

But who??? 👀

[@raphaelfunsho9130]

I have always wanted Trent in Barca because of his passing ability.

[@werock2002]

If fullbacks were supposed to have goals and assists the cancelo would be playing for a big club. Kounde is one of the best at link up plays.

[@XYZ-tx9id]

Coordination between fullback and wingers is very important. Cancelo never cared about anything other than attacking. Though i would love to have cancelo back in the team. Who knows what could have become of him under hansi flick?

[@rashdan1994]

He would fit in Barca squad only if Frenkie and Araujo sold. My reason: TAA can play midfield and RB. When Araujo sold, Kounde had more chance to be back at CB

[@elchapothedon4967]

Kounde is arguably the best RB in the world right now.

[@FootballYankee]

I know this video talks about Barcelona but since we are on the La Liga topic, why is it that Jude Bellingham has everyone making excuses for him?

I don't think Trent Alexander Arnold works for Barcelona. He's ridiculously talented but defensively he is not. And at Flick's team a Right Back needs to be defensive more than offensive. But the the reality doesn't change that we need another Right Back, Kounder can't play evey single game and we could use a substitute that's better offensively that Flick can use to push more forward when he's desperate.
