Kalidou Koulibaly

Or KLAK for short.

Better than our current defence, which is LACK

Im not having a go but I dont see the hype Van Dick seems to be lauded with on here.
Yes, he has improved the scousers, but is he really as good as you are making out, not in my eyes

He is definitely the most arrogant player in the league and he has all of PGMOL‘s corrupt puppets quacking in their fucking boots....

hope we sack this guy off and go for kounde

I’d prefer Kounde anyway.

So on the chance that KK's knee may 'go' we shouldn't buy him? Wouldn't that apply to every signing?

No it applies to footballers whose prime force is their athelticism. When Richards knee became a problem, training around it was no use for him. His physicality was his game.

I don't know much about KK other than Napoli in the CL. What I saw was a physically dominating defender. My point is simple: physicality is linked to age. And without seeing him week in week out I'd be wary at 29. If he's still at the same level then great.

Depends on your merits for rating a centre half. Way different in modern game than it was even 10 years ago. He fits all the needs of one on current merits, is great with the ball (both feet), is a huge physical presence and wins aerials easily, and can defend largely well. Hence he's at the top of the list.

We were told some while back that we always identified 3 players in a transfer. Maybe the original three were him Carlos and Gimminez. Given the trouble with Napoli it seems the deal was on the verge of collapse so it is then we added Kounde to make the three again. I am happy for City to buy the right player with money we are prepared to spend and await flight tracker etc etc as and when. :-)

City will have / should have prepared more than one target. Kounde sounds like its progressed a long way.

City prepare for 3 targets.
It would appear they are KK, Kounde and Upamecano. The last became difficult when he signed a new deal and we are left with the first two. That said we did want 2 CB so you can probably add Carlos and Gimminez to the list as well.

Or KAK

Shame it's not him then. Still happy with Koundé, not the best choice but I guess it is what it is.
