Kalidou Koulibaly

[razman]

So kk vs gimenez now.... Happy to admit arrogance that I haven't watched much of them, especially Gimenez

Unless we get a world class CB and a world class LB we'll never win anything.

We dont necessarily need World Class players, but those that are ideally suited to us

 

[jay laruja]

Nah. We won it with Delph at LB. It's the CB slot that I'm worried of.

We are not getting a LB.
There are not WORLD CLASS LBs around. We need player who can do the job, I believe Cancelo can do the job

 

[jay laruja]

Our starting CB this season will be Laporte and Garcia backed by Fernandinho and Stones

 

[Easy]

I'll have to take your comments about KK in good faith. What impressed me most about KK vs Liverpool was his physicality and ability to control the quick and agile Salah.

If Ake is capable of playing right sided centre-back then the concern about signing a 2nd right sided centre-back are over done.

Yes, KK handled Liverpool’s front 3 virtually by himself.

Ake can surely play there so can Laporte, usually the better defender moves to their unnatural side so Ake left side and Laporte right for example. It would work but Koulibaly and Laporte is so much better and a potential Champions League winning partnership.

I am so happy with this lineup, Happy New Year! And if that changes Garcia's mind to stay with us even better. And Kalidou can enjoy retirement in Salerno.

I wish I could share your optimism. Even getting through 2 months of the season & still being in contention, with that partnership, I'd be happy.

Garcia is average id take 20m for him anyday

sarcasm?

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Unless Ake can play there? What about Walker as a right centre-back, with Laporte and Ake as a 3 man central defence. Cancelo and Mendy as attacking wing-backs?

Good as an option in the biggest games but would we want to sacrifice one of our attacking options against teams where we will dominate possession?

Thanks Sheikh Mansour.

No, I am deadly serious.

We will nothing with that pairing with Rodri as the holding deep midfielder

If so, then better for him, sun, Italian food, wonderful places. I share with you the hope, for him, that he will not come to Manchester

At least we don't live on top of a super-volcano.

We have Ake!

 

[marc_mcfc90]

Would love nothing more than to walk away from this deal and go for someone else

 

[BufordUSABlue]

No, I am deadly serious.

Wow ...............
