Kalidou Koulibaly

[mosssideblue]

Defender Gabriel from Lille is apparently closer to joining Arsenal than Napoli, and he was expected to replace Koulibaly at Napoli.

I can see this deal failing. Seem to be an absolute shitshow.

What would you propose we do?

I'm sure the strategy is to win the CL sooner than later and to provide Pep with sufficiently good signings to do it while he is still here. He might fail to win it but we won't treat him as a stepping stone whose task is to leave a strong team for the next manager. We will sign a ready made CB, not one with bags of potential who may or may not come good in 2-3 years. And among those who have enough CL experience and are quick, Koulibaly is regarded as one of the best. I don't know whether and how much we want Koulibaly. But I can see why we may be after him.

I don’t think we can win it, irrespective of performance while they continue to screw us over on VAR. Navigating 4 knock out rounds whilst being cheated is beyond us, but I totally agree your point about being patient

So are you suggesting we walk away from discussions because they might not sign a replacement?
Or is the 'shitshow' that we've not made sure they've got a replacement in?

LOL, it's called negotiation, it's what you do.

What are you like when you're mum takes you're toys off you.
Do you always throw a tantrum when things don't go you're way.
You are up and down like a whores knickers.

Kompany was 33 y.o. when he helped us win the battle with Liverpool. And he had many injuries behind him. Koulibaly looks quite fit and quicker than Kompany. So, he might be pretty good at 33, who knows?

I trust Txiki and Pep to take the right decision whether we really need Koulubaly and how much to pay for him.

Stop panicking and go and put some dry knickers on ffs

Who says I’m panicking? ffs Ake!
I just want this done because it’s a very important and much needed signing, but got a bad feeling as it seem connected with Gabriel from Lille.

No but it seems Napoli would be fine to keep Koulibaly too. If Gabriel moves to Arsenal, I could see Koulibaly staying put. That’s what I meant.

LOL, it's called negotiation, it's what you do.

I know, but see above.

Have Burnley been having a look, them being in the big 8 n all that?

You might want to check a league table with that one.

What’s your problem? Get help.

Koulibaly is one of the clubs most important signings in many years. I really want this done. We can’t f-k around with this position anymore.

During lockdown there was a big queue for bogroll, there is only one club in the queue for an 80 million 29 yr old, don't worry.
