Kalidou Koulibaly

French sources inc. L’Equipe saying that Koulibaly is expected to move to PSG in next 48 hrs.

time for us to finalize deal for alternative ASAP.
We are for Koundé. Don't let Sevilla posturing fool you, we are not run by idiots and that we clearly have no problem Koulibaly joining another club says everything. Koundé is as good as done after the Super Cup.

Only risk is Sevilla changing their mind but City seem to have excellent relationship with them.

NOTED. Your rationale is flawless.
 
I admit, I don't know Koundè, but he doesn't think he will be as strong as Koulibaly. As a Neapolitan, if you've lost it for 10 million, and if the news is confirmed, you're crazy. The Kk was the monster of 91 points in Naples (when the Scudetto was stolen), he had almost made history, as only Maradona managed to do in Naples .... Buon Koundè, you can still win because the city is very strong, if you were looking for a champion in CB, now there is only one in Europe and you have lost it. Only one thing I want to make you think; in a league where Juve have been winning for 10 years, in the league with the best defenses, he is ABSOLUTELY the best defender, MUCH better than Bonucci and Chiellini who you would definitely want in your team. I read that some of you have seen Parma-Napoli ... what you have seen is still a mediocre Koulibaly compared to the usual ... you don't know what you missed
 




PSG souces saying that we were getting 103 M through ticketing and hospitalities and we have to divide that number by atleast 10 with the current situation. Hence why PSG need to sell.

Le Parisien saying Koulibaly is unreachable at 75 M (claiming to have got this answer even from the player side despite the english reports; they also said his wife would love to live in Paris).
 
See that second half there, a big presence/leadership is so necessary in games like that. We are lucky to escape that with a win. Those games you need to have a Koulibaly in your team. A Koundé will be great and do well in playing part but doesn't solve that issue.

Koulibaly being there doesn't make our players energetic again. We were tired.

Koulibaly was incredible for a 2-3 period for sure. Is he still at that level?

City just got tired and were unable to press as we did in the 1st half.

Lack of control because of tired legs isn't much of an issue. second half, the amount of simple balls and long balls they were playing with ease in behind our backline was not concerning? That's where a Vinny would reorganise the backline and tell them to stay alert, drop a couple yards off and defend better to regain control.
 
Look at the goal and fouls we conceded and think again. You need someone to reorganise the backline and be a voice there.
That goal was conceded because Kev was slow to close Podence despite Raz making it very clear he needed to. When he did close it was a poor effort & he was megged. Pinpoint cross. Koulibaly being on the pitch would have made no difference as not his side. Perhaps Laporte in for Aké Might have offered more of a challenge but tbh I’m not sure - at least with the post-lockdown Laporte model. Benzema’s from Rodrygo’s cross very similar (diff angle obvs). It just landed on his head and those boys have skills to head home.

Wolves are 3 games in. This is our 1st.
I thought stones and ake won their fair share of duals, got caught out a couple of times but this is wolves not Leeds, wolves are a strong outfit.
 
Yes I could see the benefit of KK, but trust in the clubs power brokers, that if Napoli wanted way too much, that they walked away. I will be just glad the saga is over, whether he is off to PSG, and also glad that our replacement is already being touted, to show that we did not get gazumped this time.
 
Italian media are saying PSG proposed a loan with a obligatory option to buy Koulibaly.

Buy for how much?

I doubt napoli can wait for koulibaly money, myself. But seeing them get nothing now and less later would not upset me.
