Kalidou Koulibaly

[leo_city]

We're all waiting for you to tell us as you seem in the know?

Where have I claimed as such? Show me.

 

[Coatigan]

Dont believe all you read would be my take. Also, how do you know there is nothing happening, are you privvy to info?

Napoli brief that utd are interested, to push us to bid (higher, or at all). Napoli brief that PSG are interested, to push us to bid. We then show interest elsewhere, perhaps genuine, perhaps balls, perhaps to show we won't get drawn into outbidding ourselves. Napoli then brief Koulibaly wants to stay, if nobody meets the azking price (no shit). Media posturing, thats all.

Would help is an understatement, Koulibaly is one of the fastest CBs in football.

Against PSG he kept up with Mbappe!!

Speed doesn't last forever. We maybe quite correct to pass on KK.

Our defence was a shambles last season. It started at Norwich, and by Lyon Pep was so concerned he ended up protecting the defence by filling the midfield with defensive players. When that game finished, I think every City fan expected City to implement a solution over the Summer but here we are with 7 days to go to the Wolves and nothing is apparent.

There is no information. Your 'trust City' response is a fortnight too old.

Exactly, but doesn't stop some from buying into it

Expand Marv, you are clearly itk

Walk away, perhaps city already have? If we are to believe that negotiations have gone on this long we only have to look who we are dealing with. Look at the history dealing with Napoli and the mafia wannabe, its a bloody nightmare. Upamecano for me.

 

[Marvin]

something not right about this deal imo

What deal? There isn't one. Maybe we shouldn't trying to buy a super-quick 29 year old who may no longer be super-quick but we should have had everything lined up when last season ended.

A few people questioned why we weren't sorting our defence out when we were waiting on Messi and we were told "we can do both."

Can someone explain to me if we need a CB this year why are we not getting it?!

Messi thing is over obviously. I don't think city is still waiting for messi.

Marv, in the main you generally add to the forum but within the transfer threads, you are simply speculating and trying to come over as being all knowledgeable as to what is happening.

So, either back up your assertions with facts, or just concede you haven't a clue. Because we have yet to sign this lad, doesn't mean we aint trying, but Im sure when you post the facts we will all then be on the same page and we can go from there
