Kalidou Koulibaly

[CenturyClub]

Do you believe Txiki is incompetent or it is a lot more complex than we understand? Gen q

It is complexed yes, but when it gets to big deals, he seems to drift away from them and doesn't like getting involved in bidding wars.

Do i trust him to deliver a big young talent from time to time, like Erling Haaland for example... i don't no. He hasn't given us any reason to trust him especially when it comes to the more high profile signings. I want to trust him, but i just don't. He tends to like to position himself for players that have release clauses.

Sterling , KDB, Ederson, Bernardo ?

Garry Cook didn't have FFP to worry about.

I completely understand FFP is a hindrance, but seeing as we were prepared to go big on Messi this window, that says to me there is plenty of money in the bank to spend on players. We should be making sure we cover all weak areas of the squad. After all, Pep hasn't come anywhere close to winning the Champions league, so as a club we need to make sure we cover all areas of the squad with quality to give Pep the best chance of winning it.

Why haven’t we pulled the plug on this deal ??
Adl ain’t gonna take any less then what he wants and we ain’t gonna pay it !!!

should be moving on to another target

Ederson was an unknown quantity when we signed him as he was playing in a pretty poor league. I will give Txiki credit with the Bernardo signing, he played a blinder. As for Sterling, there was only really City chasing him and there wasn't much interest from the european giants for De Bruyne either and even that saga took a lot longer than it should have.

He has done some very good work, i am not disputing that, but his stubborness and reluctance to pay that extra bit for certain targets has cost us, particularly this season just gone.

For the amount of money City have spent on players since Pep has been in charge, we should not be resorting to playing with midfield players at centre back and at left back. Other teams have spent quarter of what we have spent and haven't seemed to have the same problems as us defensively.

Square pegs in round holes and all that.

Dont you think Kev (and others tbf) come into that category?

He was playing for Wolfsburg and i didn't see much competition for his signature.

You can bet your bottom dollar every man and his dog will want Haaland next season. Will Txiki get involved in a bidding war for him? I just don't see it.

I do agree with this, for me if Txixi cannot get it right this season from a decisive target standpoint - then serious questions need to be asked.

Spot on. Could City have been fucking with Napoli and go for another target? I’m almost starting to thin so. The club is usually insanely effective at wrapping up deals but this is taking too long.

Khaldoon just two weeks ago said there will be additional playERS coming in, apart from Aké and Torres. So where the fuck are they?

I have been patient throughout, but i expected this Koulibaly deal to have been done by now or at the very least signed 1 or 2 more additional players.

If we end up with Aouar, Koulibaly and a quality left back before the window shuts, i will be absolutely delighted, but we need to start getting a move on.

I think City will go back to Spain for transfers they are just easier to do really
