Kalidou Koulibaly

[waspish]

Is cheeky and the gang there tonight to watch him.

 

[RayCTID]

To be fair to him £30-35m max (similar value to Stones)

This fella is a donkey. Aside from his comedy penalty and dreadful positioning, he has inexplicably kicked it straight out of play about four times. Never a premier league player.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Definitely not. Koulibaly can ACTUALLY control a football unlike Mangala.

He played pretty well in his first game alongside Vinny. Had Diego Costa in his pocket.

Unfortunately, that was his only real decent game for us.

Makes me laugh how the people who rate him make out they’ve watched Napoli every week for last 5 years

I watched them nearly every weekend when they had Sarri for 2 seasons. He was brilliant in nearly every game. He has been poor lately but I think that's definitely down to the manager and the system, rather than him slowing down. Under Sarri there was direction, he was the best defender in the world at that time for me in 18-19. He won the Best Defender in Serie A award above the brilliant Bonucci and Chiellini.

 

[argyle]

Has looked worse than Mangala tonight.

 

[super_city_si]

He looked class against the dippers. Looks sunday league tonight

I have to say he's made an impression on me.

He's absolutely awful, and in an empty stadium, imagine what he'll be like in front of a hostile crowd, the ball will be like a hot potato.

I'm hoping his mind is elsewhere, like thinking about a transfer or something and his game is much better but his distribution and his positioning have been awful.

If we pay 70m we've had our pants pulled down.

Like Mendy

not a Mendy fan either tbh.. his distribution is rank.

Makes Otamendi look cultured.
