Kalidou Koulibaly

I have remained calm throughout, but i am starting to get a bit frustrated now.

We are nowhere near agreeing a deal for Koulibaly and the season starts this weekend (Monday 21st September for us).

I appreciate transfer saga's can be dragged out for a long period of time, but why haven't we aimed to wrap up other targets such as LB and CM or forward player?

We seem to be laying all our eggs in one basket in the hope of acquiring Koulibaly and then looking to move on to other targets from there.

This Koulibaly saga seems to be dictating our entire transfer strategy.

Valid point on why we have not moved for a midfielder. I wld say messi is the one we want with Kk and will wait until deadline day to finalise. Not ideal but why settle for second best? We have enough good players to win the first games without needing new signings. It does not look like we will buy a lb.
 
Rumours that a club last week contacted Sevilla over Diego Carlos and his release clause i hope its not us i really do.
 
You used the word “must”; that's dressing up opinion as fact because you don't know.
I accused you of nothing but while I'm here you described our defence as “shambolic“ in another post so I will accuse you of talking reactive hyperbole or in other words utter bollocks.

The word 'must' came after my initial sentence which read 'I genuinely think', the 'must' was an illustration of my train of thought. The message was clearly premised by it being my opinion.

And yes I di think the defence is shambolic. Laporte was poor post lockdown, we don't know how much the injury has really affected him yet. Stones was replaced by a 34-35 yo Fernandinho, none of the LBs have shown that they could step up. It's the clear reason why we've targeted Ake and Koulibaly and potentially another LB.

I actually would prefer Carlos. I know he had a poor game against Wolves but Varane had an utter shit show against us and he’s regarded by many as being one of the best in the world. Carlos seems to be good in the duels, decent on the ball, he’s rapid, a unit and at 27 is at a good age to still improve. KK from a few years ago would have been an immense signing but he’s definitely not that player anymore. From listening to the pundits/journalists that cover la Liga they think he is a quality CB and got into most of their teams of the year.

Iv seen that to alot of sevilla fans say he is quality but rash, likes a foul thats the only thing that puts me off really

Spot on. Could City have been fucking with Napoli and go for another target? I’m almost starting to thin so. The club is usually insanely effective at wrapping up deals but this is taking too long.

Khaldoon just two weeks ago said there will be additional playERS coming in, apart from Aké and Torres. So where the fuck are they?
