Kalidou Koulibaly

I reckon we’d happily accept circa £20/25mil for Stones.

I hope not, we always have to pay top dollar yet get shafted when selling. Just look at the likes of the Dzeko transfer yet he has played over 200 games and scored over 100 goals since his move to Roma.

Yeah, we aren’t the best at selling, lol.

Yep take that all day. I fell sorry for Stones, theres a good player there but he just cant stay fit, and Im afraid we cant hold on to injury prone players and have to move on .

Totally agree, there is a serious lack of pace in our team, especially without Sane.

We look very pedestrian at times, two years ago our counter attack was scary, Augero, Sane and Sterling running at back peddling defenders was a wonderful sight.

Tbf we had a perfect blistering counter attack against Chelsea but Sterling chipped the keeper and didn’t score, rather than a simple pass for Jesus to score an open goal.

Everyone sugesting 20-25 mill need to realise the actual market, we got that for Brahim near the end of his contract. We have also been quoted around 50 Mill for Baston from Inter who is young, inexperienced and 3rd choice.

what possibly makes you think that....?

When you dig through all the shit you read certain articles that are not made up . The only reason we have never really been seriously linked before is the massive price but now that has gone .

Alaba doesn't fancy it apparently, even with Bayern proposing it.

City have been open to it. Still think there might be some talking round.

Havertz is the other one we would love to do.

Koulibaly, Havertz and Alaba would be the stuff of legend.

Harvertz aside that goes against our past policy of reducing the age of the squad doesnt it?

Koulibaly is 29 I believe....Alaba is 28

But that would give us six options. Laporte. Garcia. Stones. Otamendi. Ferna and Koulibaly. That’s almost too stacked

Otto is gone hopefully
Ferna is a midfielder and hopefully with a new Cehtre half and a bit of luck around injuries he wont have to play there

The main options would be Kouilbaly Laporte and Garcia (and maybe Stones) - thats not too bad

@tolmie's hairdoo I seem to remember you saying the club would look to pay Lautaro Martinez's release clause. I take it from what you're saying that's no longer on the table? Apologies if I remembered incorrectly

He doesn’t want to come to us as his heart is set on Barca . Why pay £100 mill for a player whose is not in it .

 

[blueparrot]

Ferna is a midfielder

No matter how many times anyone says it or thinks it, he isn't.He's an reserve centre back.
