Now I'm worried. I agree with this opinion. :(Thank fuck we didn't land Koulibaly, that's all I'll say. Splashing huge money on a declining 29 year old was never, ever going to the answer. The club have stuck with their policy and rightly so.

So getting a gamble from Portugal is better? For about the same money.
There were good quotes from Fonte on him.

It's also worth mentioning that this price is tied to getting £15m (€15m?) for Otamendi, which with the best will in the world, he's clearly not worth. If we signed Koulibaly, we'd probably also end up getting a few million for Otamendi, or sending him out on loan.£60 mill is not the same money and Benfica fans are devastated he is leaving. He's got everything required to succeed and is a leader. I'm over the moon at this signing tbh.
