Kalidou Koulibaly

[Neville Kneville]

Want a good reliable CB before we kick off next season. It would be good if CB can get some pre season

Pre season not going to be easy for new signings or kids who want a chance, in respect of competitive fixtures to have a proper run out.

Liverpool are in some pre-season camp in Austria I believe. Ideal.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean ?

If I understand you right, you suggested we bring in a new 29 year old, alongside who a CB maybe from the academy can be brought along for the long term. My point was we had VK at the club for 10 years+, and assuming the academy player was here when VK was here, we failed to do what you are suggesting. Apologies if it's still not clear

A gentleman’s agreement while ADL gets on the phone to Chelsea?

That statement tells me he will only sign for city in September If nobody else comes along with a better offer in the meantime

What meant was, we should have 4 top PL standard cbs now but not stop looking for a brilliant young one, especially if Koilibably is one of the 4.

Assume that one, or two, will become surplus during the next few years & carry on looking to replace, with a young player, either a signing or an academy promotion.

We would still have Vinny in the team, if he was here, fit. That means we got it wrong.

 

[Marvin]

Sounds like there is something genuine behind this.

65m squid? That's 15 less than we've been mentioning
Fair price so should be tying this up methinks
Then again it's ADL

 

[Matt Diablo]

This is happening. He wants to play under Pep - no little hoody rat twats will change that
