Kalidou Koulibaly

So being good for a whole season isnt enough ? Good grief, he looks very ready to me and he's a lot younger.

I’m sure it’s been said previously that he normally plays in a back 3 at Leipzig and hasn’t looked as comfortable in a back 4.

That could well be a factor and an indication we won’t be changing our formation this season.
 
whenever i see reports like 'revealed, how much (insert name) will cost City, including his Netflix subscription ' i think a deal must be close.
 
Negotiating a fee down only works if you have leverage or alternatives. Not sure we do. Seems a high risk strategy to me because there's a number of teams who may submit an offer. However I am sure City know what they are doing.

There’s no other team in the world that would pay Napoli what they want (75m plus) for a 29 year old that looks like he’s regressed this year.

City know that which is why we are playing hard ball

Koulibaly has been playing under a similar system to the one Pep prefers with a high press. He's also recognised as a strong leader, a bit of a warrior. We need that too.

Koulibaly for me is the lowest risk with the most immediate impact, and the only available option that ticks all the boxes.

We don’t know for sure if other clubs are in for Koulibaly or not, but I have to admit I’m a bit surprised we don’t seem to have much competition for this signing.

If Liverpool were to put up Van Dijk on the market now and for 75m, clubs would probably be all over it, and both of these centrebacks on their good day are very equal.

It could be a case of Koulibaly’s agent informing other clubs of his clients intention to join us and the competition therefore disappears, like it did with Ferran Torres.
If Koulibaly only wants us, then ADL won’t get a bidding war. Something want to tell me that the City-board instructed these tactics to Koulibaly and his agent to make a transfer easier.

PSG need a CB now with Silva gone, United need an upgrade to Lindelof. Barcelona and Real have no money, otherwise I believe they would be in this for sure.

To get the best players we will always have to pay that high, we don't do that often, but if we need experience + quality and a player who doesn't really need much refining this is just how the market is for such a profile.
If anything it's good we have no competition for him (aside maybe PSG, who could still come in last min and take him, if it drags on further).
 
Time to fuck this deal off, ADL is a propper cnut, why are we still messing about with this deal the price keeps changing just fuck off ADL cant stand the bloke he is laughing at City dont give the twat anymore time

Move on for some reason Pep doesn't fancy Upercano & Skriniar I personally think he will pay the price & snap up either Diago Carlos or he goes big on Jose Giminez from Ahtletico
Napoli can go fuck themselves if anything over £65m its to much add another 5-10m & get a younger man

His info was good... there seems to be some sort of hold up in our dealings- maybe wanting to prioritise outs, changing our targets, or the Messi thing...

93:20blue on 17 Aug: "Big week next week, 2 more signings .. oh and forget the messi nonsense , he isn’t joining"

93:20blue on 28 Aug: "Koulibaly and Pep extension , both are now being delayed with the once in a lifetime chance of possibly getting Messi"

Stop giving these guys air time. I can spout the same nonsense on this forum and frame myself as being ITK, all you need to do is take some advanced rumours and sprinkle some of your own creativity on top.

Not sure about Giminez he was the one we where linked with least till the other day he has the most expensive buy out don’t know if we could get him for less than the others also a lot of negative comments about him on here more so than the others regarding speed etc I remember him being the next big thing at like 20 but clubs have not really been linked with him for a few windows so perhaps he is not that good
