Kalidou Koulibaly

[ctid1894]

Someone said that earlier. But I'd have to say I disagree. If he were making positional errors or taking wrong angles or losing his man in the zone, that is one thing. This was simply a 1 v 1 in the box. The attacker was physically and athletically superior and had no respect for Garcia's ability to touch him. And he was right. And that guy isn't special by any stretch.

He is going and will develop. But in that moment that forward simply dominated him.

Every defender gets dominated on occasion, every single one.

@mancitymax come on let's have you.

He's around the same weight and length as Kompnay but no goals. We dont have many big guys at the corners to head them in. Laporte if so but thats it. Kompany was always dangerous at it..

Not sure that you can score with your length.

Racist stereotypes have no place on BM.

Penisesmatter.

Just a question, why are we even thinking of signing a 29 year old? Or is this like when utd signed Van Persie to win the league that year?

because he’s world class and our current centre halves other than Laporte are a child, a 78 year old midfielder and the chuckle brothers ;)

You're adding a word there to straw man St. Pauli. He said they would look around spain, not EXCLUSIVELY look around Spain.

Your accusations of fetishism are easily turned on you as they come off as xenophobic.

Not xenophobic at all. I've said before, in this topic and others, I don't care where we find a player. Colour, natuonality, religion, sexuality, gender identification isn't a concern.

My point now, and before, was being Spanish shouldn't be a pre-requisite for signing a player. And as I also have said the poster, you are white knighting for who likely doesn't need your assistance, does come across as getting excited about players from Spain.

As for xenophobia, Blue Moon is an odd place. Many here love to bang on about it then have something to say about other nationalities when it suits them.

And as far as the use of the word fetish. Perhaps levity can't be determined easily through the typed word. Kind of like when I asked if you were insane when you posted not long ago that Joe Hart would right now be a good signing for us. ;-)

I wasn't meaning to accuse you of xenophobia, I understand you aren't xenophobic but your insistence that anyone who wants City to sign a spaniard means that they believe we should ONLY sign Spanish players or that it is a pre-requisite is plain wrong and either deliberately or accidentally misrepresenting people's points or opinions. I was saying the way you twisted a person saying we might be adding another Spaniard into it being a "pre-requisite" for any city signing could just as easily be twisted to make you seem xenophobic towards Spaniards.

This is a forum and I am allowed to speak up when someone is arguing against a point nobody made. Having said that, you are probably right in the fact that levity and irony is often misinterpreted through typed word. I probably missed the tone of your post and for that I do apologize.

P.S. I'd still take Joe back as a 3rd choice keeper. Don't @ me.

Incredibly disrespectful to the ultimate professional Mr. Carson but outside of that classy post.

Fair enough. My apologies to you as well.

My english is not the best so I maybe choose wrong words. But tall ''heavey'' guy is more likely to score at corners than others, no? Kompany was a big guy and he was a beast at corners often.
