Kalidou Koulibaly

[CC1]

The Messi-deal could take weeks by the look of things. The club should prioritize getting Koulibaly over the line first, and then start finding new clubs for Ota, Stones, Zinch and Angelino and work on Messi at the same time. I'm afraid this Messi deal completely shifted our focus.

I honestly believe getting Messi here is easier than Koulibaly. Kouli is frustrated and looking for answers, with a Napoli president wasting all of our time. Messi on the other hand with his lawyers are forcing their way out of Barca.

I'm afraid this Messi deal completely shifted our focus.

I take it that by “our” in Your above comment you are referring to fans and NOT the club!!!

You can’t have any idea what the club may or may not be doing in terms of transferring other players in or out.

Of course I don't know. At the same time a transfer like this could naturally occupy a lot of the clubs resources, and therefore affect other deals. Not that I believe the club can't multitask!

Go on Kalidou lad, kick up a fuss.

Looks like everyone is pissing on their clubs to join City.

Can genuinely sense his frustration

I would Luvvitt if Koulibaly signed but you have to remember there is only one KK

This geezer will be falling over himself to sign if he's got wind of the Messi scenario.

Fuck that
He’s scared of going to training now!

At least he won’t have to play against him next season

Sounds good to me.

 

[skyblues]

Fucken hell, we should've gone for the greek god. He is younger than Kouli!

Edit: actually no, he's 32 :D

No way this is true.

We should act decisively, now. Because if they watch any clips of Sokratis from last season they may well pull the plug.

Genuinely wouldn't be surprised if its the Messi factor.

Players will push much harder for moves to play with him, I think it will be a massive card up our sleeve when it's time to replace Aguero (assuming he doesn't stay as long as Messi).

Being able to say “I was good enough to play with Lionel messi” would be a huge factor for any player. Not many more seasons left to do it in either. Such prestige to be in that club and build a relationship with the GOAT

What if the present operation to sign Messi is a hoax, an elaborate 'Capricorn One' scenario to sucker KK into pressuring Napoli to lower their asking price?

 

[jay laruja]

Hard to be too happy with Messi signing if we haven't had our defense sorted out. We're an Ake/Laporte injury away from relying on 35 yo Fernandinho or, god-forbid, Stones. Assuming Ota and Garcia are out the door.

Yep I for one will only have a cheeky smirk but will refrain from a full smile if messi signs without the defence being sorted.

 

[Hesperus]

Really hope we can get this sorted soon. CB is a huge priority for us. This is the transfer we should be putting all our effort into right now.

 

[SWP's back]

That’s ok, I’ll be getting my dick out and waving it around for both of us.
