If we sign Bennacer then so would Pep I guess.I would quite like to see us play Laporte and Rodri together in defence.
We should make him the top priority this window. Two top draw centre backs in Koulibaly and Laporte backed up by a world class prospect in Garcia and a local talent in Tosin. Fernandinho and Rodri could drop in at times if needed. Would be the perfect balance in my opinion.
I’d sell Stones now if there is interest from Newcastle. He’s had plenty of time to crack it under what should be his ideal manager and never quite done it for me, bar the odd decent spell. Time to cut our losses while he still has decent value and give Tosin a go.

Exactly, clearly many have never seen him play. He’s a beast.
Will be the best defender in the league, and if we get 3 years of that level out of him he’ll be worth the investment, especially if we could offset it with someone like Otamendi part-ex plus the financial outlay recycling money generated with the sale of Stones.

Agree with everything. The Liverpool-Napoli games I’ve watched, Koulibaly out performed Van Dijk.
Whatever the fee, if we get 3 years out of him like you said it will be easily worth it. We might even be lucky and Koulibaly could be a Fernandinho type and comfortably play into his mid-thirties.
He would slot right in, years of possession football and positional play under Sarri, the physicality and pace needed for the Premier League. Can speak French with his CB partner Laporte and also speaks Italian which means Pep who also speaks Italian can easily communicate with him as well.

I suppose a lot of our big money trransfer activity will depend on how the CAS appeal goes.

Don't think there'll be much big money activity either way, centre back will be our biggest but would be surprised if we go over £50Mill. Expect our targets are much the same whichever way it goes.I suppose a lot of our big money trransfer activity will depend on how the CAS appeal goes.
Couldn’t see Napoli letting Koulibaly go for 50 million !Don't think there'll be much big money activity either way, centre back will be our biggest but would be surprised if we go over £50Mill. Expect our targets are much the same whichever way it goes.
