Kalidou Koulibaly

[himalayan_blues]

Fixed your name for you. In truth, it could apply to any one of several of your posts. Amazing that Silva, Aguero, Kompany and Glauber Berti never played for us.

I am as city blue as anyone of us here but the thing is Barca and real madrid never really wanted silva and aguero as they had better version of them. Iniesta and xavi were better than silva. Once they retired silva was a older player to buy so they were not after silva. If they really wanted them then being a spanish player he might have considered. Lets take our blue tilted specs out mate. In aguero case they took suarez. However i can agree with ur point in agueros case. Because of the reason that we are probably the best run club aguero was not considered by them. He would have been very difficult to be lured away from us. Kompany was too injured for them to buy.
This might be one of the reason we never won a champions league. Our players were never in top 10 or even top 20/30 best players in the world (till last few years).
Well i took barca and real madrid only because they are the only two clubs who are bigger than city outside england at least today or most of last decade.

Napoli desperately need to sell , we are the only takers

let them sweat on it for another week

They don’t. Both KK and ADL wouldn’t mind continue working together until the end of his career. If Napoli don’t receive a good enough offer, he will stay.

KK is a top defender so why would Napoli release him for pennies? If we already had a top defence and KK would be the icing on the cake, then I would make them sweat but it’s a high risk strategy at this point, not only because there are no good options out there, but because we desperately need a defender of his calibre.

Read the article a page back where reports said the price was 100m euros in the beginning of this window. Would certainly explain why this has taken so long.

Sounds alright till you look at their finances and expenditure this window already, they've spent about €80m on Osimhen alone and if they cannot sell Koulibaly, they will have to offload maybe 2-3 other key players while offering him a contract renewal. Said previously just through selling KK they can get 2 defenders, a key midfielder that they've been after for a while in Boga, and one or two utility players. They won't be able to do any of this unless they sacrifice Fabian Ruiz, who is the only name in that side worth more or same as Koulibaly (if Koulibaly isn't sold, also doesn't fit Gattuso's playstyle, which is backwards and the reason he's wanted gone in the first place).

The usual knicker wetting fannys shitting themselves and pouring scorn on the club's execs every time one of ADL's stooges tweets some crap on the toilet that is twitter.
You really should give your heads a wobble spouting your shit about multi million pound deals of which you have no concept of either complexity or difficulty. The fact you believe we should "just pay it ffs" or "just fuckin walk away" shows you have no idea of what's actually going on and of the necessary business acumen required to do such deals and quite frankly we can do without your advice. It won't stop you spouting though will it, you just can't help yourself except for those that are obviously here for nefarious reasons, Blue92 from Wivvy who thinks Txixi should be sacked for not having bent over for ADL and his 90 Million bollocks makes me piss myself laughing. Doing so would give the green light to every chairman of every transfer target to rinse us for every penny.
Of course we want to get the deal done and KK is important to our squad for the season coming. Just be patient everyone involved with this deal is doing everything they believe is right in the interests of MCFC and that's all the matters isn't it? It is for City fans anyway. The rest can fuck off I'm sick of reading your shit!

I do take great pleasure and entertainment at the inevitable reactions on here to tweets, ranging from complete and utter flap mode to delirium at his impending arrival.

It will get done, and if it doesn't we will sign someone else who will improve the side, chill.

But there are people on Twitter who say that we can get him for a bag of Bensons crisps and a wink and a nod.

I believe them because Twitter says so ;)

Txiki and his pride of refusing to talk to them directly. Of course it is delaying the whole thing.

Nobody will do this if they come for our players, because they love to do business with Txiki given how low fees he can agree to.

I deal with some customers who are absolute cunts when it comes to negotiating contracts.....I have to swallow my knob and do it for the sake of the business even though dealing with them makes my skin crawl because they’re unprofessional and untrustworthy liars.

I think ADL is being particularly difficult because he likely feels insulted that we won’t deal directly....hence dragging the whole thing out.

will it cost us extra cash to get the deal done....no, will it be drawn out for several weeks....more than likely.

 

[wolviedinho]

Do agree with 5. If Stones gets injured again who is there to play? Otamendi/Fernandinho in the backline is quite the nightmare. Laporte potentially out for Wolves game due to quarantine. Aké maybe injured, hopefully not serious. It's just expected frustration that the one position that needed addressing this window has still not been addressed when the first game's not far away. That is all. Aké and Torres are great signings, and we will be fine. Just need to get this over with is all

Ake will play hopeful not with fern tho. I would hope that experiment has been tried and shown to be not the answer. If stones is too stay he needs to play. Walker, cancelo, Ake, stones wld be ok lots of pace at least.

Cb is an issue and clubs know this which is a problem in negotiations also covid does not seem to be affecting Kk price.

I recon he will be just as difficult, no matter what.

This is his 'thing', putting himself up as 'Mr Big' & City are his favourite target. He wants to be centre stage, showing us who is boss imo.

If we did the deal normally, it would be just the same or worse, as he gets chance to laugh off each bid in public, even if it's a bid he finds acceptable. Then screw us over.

He'll either sell or he won't either way imo.

Yeah still less assurance and lack of leadership at the back.

Well read a report yesterday saying European footy is about to be at a loss of €4bn in just the next 2 years but COVID seems to have not impacted prices at all. If anything Championship players are getting sold for £30m +, can't really do much.
