Kalidou Koulibaly

[mccity]

He will be 31 years old by the time this saga ends lol.

This is the Ross and Rachel of transfers.

Certain users here rate Otamendi and Stones but think Koulibaly is a bad purchase lol

Hope we pay whatever to get the deal sorted. Need him expeditiously

Correct,
Another season of Stones & Otamendi is a disaster

To be fair David Silva only really has one foot, but what a fucking foot it is

That's why i included the word balance.
I actually included a comparison to david in this thread a few days ago, 1 footed and perfect balance. Whereas Walker is one footed, without perfect balance.)

Isn't that why Cancelo was brought in? The general idea that every player in the side is more or less two footed?

Journo Alfredo Pedulla on friday: Koulibaly will leave Napoli and join City. Since, nada.
They start pre-season tomorrow! If anything happens it should be very soon.

I wouldn't take much notice of pre-season as he'll be with Napoli til the last minute. Signings can happen any time

Cancelo was brought in because he was an upgrade on Danilo and has more resale value than him

If we don’t bring in a central defender we will not win the title it’s as simple as that . Don’t think people realise how bad that defence was last season. Can’t see us getting joy from Napoli tbh but I do think we will get some joy with benfica or Sevilla

Even if we do bring in a central defender we might not win the league.

I refer to balance, as the ability to play on both sides. Walker would struggle to play on the left wouldn't he?
A poster said we couldn't have three Cbs all preferring left side, yet the Liverpool Cbs, (best ever in the world) all right sided. If as a centre back you are not adaptable enough to play on either the left or right of a partnership of two, you shouldn't be at City.
If Koulibaly for example is worth 60, 70 , 80 million, he should be equally comfortable on either side .
If a player is balanced , you rarely notice he is one footed.
Colin Bell for example, couldn't kick it with his left foot, most city fans wouldn't know it though.

Can’t believe that this is still on going. This player is bang average. Probably no better than Stones. Stones was excellent along side Laporte when he first came in. Lost his way after injury and Laporte being missing. KK is not the answer.
