Kalidou Koulibaly

Great Kompany said:
What i meant was I trust our scouting department to study Koulibaly like they did with Maguire and say "No" if the price asked by the selling club is way too high. We said no to Maguire at the 80 million price and his performance in rags colors have shown that he is nowhere worth that much.
We have already made multiple expensive signings in defense who have not worked out, I would hate to add Koulibaly name in that list.

The second point was - "How a good defender raises the game of everyone around him" Laporte and Van Dijk do that irrespective of whether they are paired with Ota/Stones/Garcia or Gomez/Matip/Lovren. Is Koulibaly this capable ?
I wouldn't know that until he plays for us. But our scouting department would have studied this issue and I trust them.

Ok, I see where we are at crossed wires. You are comparing value against the pound and I was comparing against ability. E. g. Maguire would still be shit even if he cost £20m

Yeah he didn’t really help out with this deal saying that.

Back to square one, aye? Why is it so hard to find great central defenders?

Because for some reason the board seem reticent to spend the going rate. Like almost everything you get what you pay for. A Merc, or a Ford; a van Dijk/Koulibaly or an Otamendi.

Strange we're scared to spend despite the amazing commercial income we get now, plus ten straight years in the CL. Yet if rags, scouse, Chelsea bid against us we shit the bed. Fucking frustrating.

especially as it seems we are arguing over 10m euros? It`s our most important area to strengthen this summer! Koulibaly and ake make us better in our weakest area imo.

Exactly, how do we shit the bed?.

What is frustrating is every window we get posters moaning about a process they know so little about.

If our recruitment policy is that bad, how have we been so successful this last decade?
 
Man David Alaba would have made our life so much easier.
Typical Pep player. Too bad he does not want to come to England or so I have read!
