I don’t know, it was a dirty trick they pulled, if we leave them hanging on it will teach them a lesson and send a message to the wider footballing community to not mess us around. Otherwise others will try similar stunts on us in the future.If it’s true what ADL says and we aren’t talking to Napoli because of the previous Jorginho episode, we need to get over that, bite the bullet and do the deal. We desperately need a top centre half.
Come on that's just a ridiculously fictitious statement, you can't possibly know what a player would do in a specific situation. I've seen Koulibaly on numerous occasions so far out of position he might as well have been playing centre forward when the opposition have put the ball in the Napoli net. Sometimes shit happens, even to the very best.Koulibaly, on his usual game, would have prevented one of the goals scored by Arsenal & both the first 2 by Lyon. The chances for the Lyon goals, would most likely not even have been created, as he would have cancelled the offside trap.
That's quite a statement, you're on a roll today. I hope you're right, you're certainly a lot more confident than I am in the lad.Imo Koulibaly at his best, has been better than Van Dijk.
And the lack of any other obvious solution, is most likely why we are in for him.
If Van Dijk was available, we would almost certainly go for him this time & be willing to pay a lot more.
I know what he usually does, which is take responsibility for defending those exact situations & has done that in every game I've ever seen him play, even on a bad day.Come on that's just a ridiculously fictitious statement, you can't possibly know what a player would do in a specific situation.

I've seen Napoli concede very similar goals while he's been playing, it may not happen often but it still happens.I know what he usually does, which is take responsibility for defending those exact situations & has done that in every game I've ever seen him play, even on a bad day.
There was nothing difficult about any. JFE would probably have defended the Lyon goals.
But if Koulibaly was to trademark what he does as a defender & make an advertising video, it would be defending situationsvlike that, but against A list attackers rather than the C list ones we were incapable of stopping v Lyon.
He left Southampton for a world record fee for a defender at the time, he didn't suddenly become a world class player at Liverpool.There would have been no arguments re that statement, if Van Dijk was still at Southampton. It's playing for Liverpool which has brought him up to the current level.
He's young enough that maybe Santa will bring him some more presents.Apparently, Garcia is staying for another year. I, personally, do not think he is rhe answer at CB. Not enough presents. We need a leader, he us not it. He is technically good, but not what we need.
