Kalidou Koulibaly

[MCFC ISRAEL]

People here are debating because his age if we should buy him for two or three years at his peak. God we have 35-year-old Fernandinho, Stones and Otamendi. And I don't even want to start talking about the left back position at all. We need him asap

 

[Josh_D]

Should be signed. Solid at the back. No nonsense defender. Can still offer a few more years despite his age.

Would probably get exposed in the City system, but that's just my opinion.

 

[KCblue]

We could really do for Kalidou

 

[Goater=Legend]

Throw everything we can to get him.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

it will probably be some 22 year old gamble from France or Spain

I don't see how, when he's already spent years playing in a virtually identical system under Sarri.

Same high press, same responsibilities on the ball and involvement in the build up, same incredibly high line.

Why are you comparing Kompany who had missed about 3 full seasons of his career by age 29 and Koulibaly who's missed 7 league games in 4 seasons.

No one rational could think the 2 are comparable.

He's missed 11 games since December.

Oh I'm so sorry, I said he missed 7 league games and it was actually 8.

This changes everything.

So he's missed 16 games total from injury in 5 years at Napoli.

How does that compare to people I wonder.

Stones - 33

Laporte - 49

Kompany - 128

Fernandinho - 15

Van Dijk - 25

Don’t see us shelling out the dollar for him unfortunately
