Kalidou Koulibaly

[cjn]

Tolmie,brennan,we dont make an concrete offer until it is agreed,we have done business like this for years

That's the point I'm making. Whether or not a formal offer has been made has very little to do with how far along it is, except to say it isn't done yet.

Ah the good old annual transfer saga.

People who are new to bluemoon: "I think we're fucking up this transfer"

People who have been on bluemoon since it was on ceefax: "how dare you suggest we are fucking up this transfer"

Add a pinch of ITKs, a teaspoon of armchair analysis and a sprinkling of dreadful twitter sources. Maybe the barm* debate if you're feeling dangerous. Repeat for 500 pages.

And every summer I hoover up every page like a a tramp on chips...

*The only thing I know is 100% true

I don't believe any post/story/rumour till I see the player holding a city shirt up on mancity.com. This will be the tenth season we've been close to getting messi.

 

[mosssideblue]

By all accounts it seems to be City that's fucking this deal up

Why, what have you heard?

Then why visit transfer threads?

The way Koulibaly plays lends itself to being a captain. He's also the captain of his national team. Given we lack players who are determined, strong in the tackle he is captain material surely.

You're reading way too much into nothing in my opinion. Our captain is picked by the team, usually only players who have been at the club a number of years.

Very well put. The last sentence is particularly true for me also

This is taking longer than I expected considering all the rumours this last week from both sides.

Seems to be haggling over a couple million. I think the players are back from vacation August 28th right? So maybe itll be done before then so he trains with everyone as soon as he can.

How do know that the holdup (if indeed there is one) is not coming from the player himself ?

ESPN are reporting that Chelsea are in talks with Koulibaly's agent.

ADL wants a bidding war something that we don't entertain.

ADL wants a bidding war something that we don't entertain.

Napoli needs to sell their old players to buy young players.

Let KK stay and and his value will drop after just 1 year because he will reach 30.

I don't think we should concern ourselves in the slightest with what Napoli need.

We need a top quality centreback.

Let’s nick the player they want then jack up his price in a part-ex...or just keep the young French lad and play him!!!

That is not a good model imo.

No way chelsea pay that money on top of what they have already shelled out!

That’s ADL asking the press to suggest that in the hope we panic and raise our bid, we won’t

I have just read that Man City have asked Napoli to wait until September to close the deal, sounds odd. All the effort to get the deal done and now they want to wait to close it. Why?

So Napoli panic and come back to us to ask if we'll do the deal now for £5m less?
