Is Koulibaly really that fast?
Would like to see some statistics.
Chris Smalling was fast in Serie A and also proved a standout for Roma.
There's a reason Dave feels he can prolong his career by moving to Italy.
Koulibaly isn't the answer. We need a right footed centre back who plays on the right side of a two every single game.
Especially so, when we now got left sided cover for Laporte in the shape of Ake.
This is from one match against Sampdoria. This may not be his fastest statistic but as you see he's as fast as Insigne who is blistering.Is Koulibaly really that fast?

He would at least give us some leadership at the back which has been sadly missing without Kompany.

I can't see why both Ake and Laporte can't forge a working partnership. I know they're both left-footed(you never hear groans about two right-footed players playing together btw). Both at a good age also

Possibly, but for £80m I would expect more than just being a decent leader.
Our system exposes defenders of all abilities.
Rather than spend £120m on Rodri and Cancelo, we could have solved a big issue by buying the best aggressive, mobile midfelder we had to find?
Mangala was pretty fast, but we are on hiding to nothing telling our defenders to run into 40 yards back to their own goal.
Van Dijk would look nowhere near the player in our currenr set up.
I don't have a clue who we should sign outside of the KK suggestions, it's a dying art the position.

Here's another one. Every match I've pulled up so far, Koulibably is always top 2 or top 3 in speed for Napoli.
Yeah but Koulibably is a good start because he's quick.Possibly, but for £80m I would expect more than just being a decent leader.

However midfield is an often overlooked problem because of the high line. If we had a Kante like player, we probably won't get punished as often for having slow Central defenders.
That whole side of the house, defensive midfield and back, needs an overhauling soon:

Trying to be kind here but do you think something was lost in translation there.I have no idea either mate and the second paragraph is one of the most bizarre I’ve ever seen on here!
