Kalidou Koulibaly

I think it’s just the cost from our side mate. We don’t like going above £60m it seems and the better CB’s in the world currently are going to cost more that it seems.

Yes, but we desperately need great central defenders so if we’re ever breaking our transfer record, it’s now we need to. I just wish this guy was 25. I’m sure he has 4-5 great years left in him but if we’re unlucky, he might be peaking now and it’s downhill from here. We haven’t exactly been lucky with our defensive reinforcements so far.

Like others have said, I'm starting to go off this signing, its starting to sound as if he's not as good as i thought, I may be wrong

We have years of material to watch this guy in action and he’s been amazing. He’s the only central defender in the world to be regarded even better than Van Dijk. I have no doubts about his quality but I do have doubts about his age and how long we can expect him to perform at this high level.

Realistically 2 to 3 seasons at world class level and depending on wear and tear 2 or 3 more at PL level. So about 15 mill a year plus wages would be the outlay in a best case scenario.IMO it is worth a shot.

I would love to know what you or @Tevez City think Koulibaly did wrong in this clip.

At 0:07, a Napoli player is ball-watching and lets the the Milan run past him from behind. Can't identify who that player is (video is for ants) but I would say that the goal is that player's fault.

It's borderline depressing that certain people still instinctively contextualise a player based off their ethnicity.

But I better pipe down before someone tells me how they're both big, bald centrebacks, that the colour of their skin has nothing to do with the comparison and how I'm the real racist for even bringing it up.

And this isn't even an attack on anyone. It's just sad.

You must know what an offside line is. Koulibaly and Hysaj play the line perfectly - you will notice Koulibaly actually starts to follow the runner and then stops - and Maksimovic is playing everyone onside.

The chance happening is his fault.

Ruben Dias would be another big gamble. Diego Carlos is probably the best bet if not Koulibaly.

Has he been good for several seasons, though? Genuine question. I have never really noticed his name before this season.
