Kalidou Koulibaly

Don't worry about his age hes a machine


2 week older than dick van Dyke so he will have a good 3-4 years easy

He won't play every week unlike say Laporte but please don't think he is fucked when he reaches 31 unlike a fucked 50 year old like me

Simply pointing out that as a general rule the club haven’t spent big on anyone over the age of 27/28 in the last decade. It’s been a very sensible policy too when you assess our trophy haul.

Good points. Kompany was still pulling our chestnuts out of the fire at 33, even after all those injuries, so there’s no reason why he cannot play on for a number of years. Tend to find that players coming from Italy are also in good physical condition as well.

Yep but CH is a joke for us right now so we need to get it sorted

24 year old Ake & a solid World class presence in Koulabily & Laporte is something worth taking

I’ll let Pep/Txiki/Ferran/Omar decide what is best.

I trust them all implicitly.

Another reason for that is down to the fact that we had a spine of players who all stayed with the club for quite a long time: Zabaleta, Kompany, Silva, Aguero and Fernandinho. When you have that, you don’t really need to go out and buy experienced players. However, we’re coming to the end of that era, so such a purchase was almost inevitable.

If Koulibaly wasn't sold this summer, no club will be willing to offer even 40m for 30 year old CB.

Tell their owner to keep him his beloved player, and let Kalidou forget the pay rise he wished for and lets see how they will act :)

Said it once, will say it again.

IF (and its a big IF) we decide he is definitely the one we want then we will get him AND at a price we dictate (within reason)

ADL won’t miss out on selling a 29 year old asset as his value will severely depreciate when he hits 30.

We are in control of this deal, not ADL.

I think the club are rightly very wary about such a big outlay on someone who may only have another couple of years at the top.

they’re notoriously hard to deal with and they know we need him. They have the power

 

[deano ou812]

He’s a fucking headbin that ADL loves all the circus that goes with any transfer,it’s like a fucking mini movie to him,would love nothing more than City to call his bluff,we may well be interested in Koulibaly but not the fees that crackpot is quoting..

 

[BringBackSwales]

That’s the spirit.

Alternatively, he plays okay but can do little to stop Barcelona winning and progressing, but our team think, ‘Well, we’ve tracked him for two seasons, let’s not make any knee-jerk reactions and walk away on the basis of one game. Let’s instead go to Naples and drive an even harder bargain with a club that’s in a weakened position.”

Whatever happens I hope they knock Barcelona out, snide cunnts
