I'd like to think that you would resort to a more nature argument than the 'are you related to him' thing.
I thought wrong .

Don't care how much he costs to be honest. We're desperate for a CB who's very comfortable on the ball and can cover ground. He's massive (6'5") physically dominant but is also super athletic like Zouma.
If we stick with a back 4, a CB partnership of Zouma & Koulibaly who are both freaks of nature and Kante sitting just in front of them will be fantastic. Teams will have a hell of a time getting through. With Cristensen (one of the best CB's in Germany last season) comes back from loan next summer Conte will be able to play his preferred back 3.
Still need another fullback, though...
And Christensen is actually familiar with playing in a system where you have a back 3, since that's how the Danish national team play. He is pretty good with the ball and can drive it forward and almost play as a DM when attacking. So he will be a huge asset for you.
True
Again, that's not an argument. Just a light hearted question because you've got really bent out of shape about this opinion.
On a serious note, is Koulibaly actually even close to that height. I've seen pictures of him and Albiol standing next to each other and he's a solid inch shorter, with Albiol standing about 6ft3.
No he certainly isn't 6ft5. He's also surprisingly average/poor in the air, and while quick, he can also be rather clumsy. He is great on the ball though and still relatively young for a player in his position. He'd be a good signing for Conte.
@JPRouve , you're a Monaco fan right? I know he was on loan at Toulouse, but is he really good enough for Arsenal?
I don't know, I don't really watch Toulouse but from the little I have seen their defense was poor at the exception of Issa Diop.
So the guy from Get French Football is ITK now? Wasn't it an account for translating french transfer news before?
Yeah, fair enough. I couldn't remember anything about him in the 1-2 games of Toulouse I've watched. Just seems a very odd transfer, unless he was highly rated at Monaco.
There were some rumours in L'Èquipe that FC Ingolstadt 04 could also be interested in him.
So Wenger is wrestling against German "no-name teams" for players now?
He was highly rated as a youngster but he isn't a youngster anymore and currently he would be the 5th or 6th choice for Monaco.
Nah pretty sure he/they have always cited their own 'sources' for things.
You really have to wonder how the scouting departement of Arsenal came up with the idea of including Schär in their back up plan. The guy didn't even make the first XI in a nearly relegated Bundesliga side despite poor alternatives. The semi solid semi shaky Euro tournament surely doesn't make up for that.
It could be 4th or 5th. Jemerson, Raggi and Glik are definitely ahead of him and Almamy Touré should be ahead of him too. So 5th choice.
No shit Sherlock.
What a nothing article. Mitten seems to be floundering without the contacts he had for previous regimes!
Does this guy ever not put a Real Madrid based spin on things?
I was just thinking the same thing, like Bayern were just gonna bend over for Muppetino.
It's how these journalists get their sources. Favourable coverage constantly in return for the odd tidbit of information.
The news comes from French media France Football but Tisserand is still close to Saint-Etienne. Quite surprising, especially as he really grew into a central defender progressively last year at Toulouse and was just a right-back before. France Football says it's just to add squad depth though that Arsenal could be interested.
According to Balague every top player wanted to join Madrid this summer but Madrid didn't want them.
Yeah all the Polish kids want to play in Spain
"Well, Messi was gagging to join Madrid this summer, but they just weren't bothered about him, ay."
Startling insight from Andy Motten as always. It never ceases to amaze how many words he uses to say nothing.
WHY fonte wants to join MANCHESTER UNITED..
is this really a fukking headline?
This is a joke right?
That's just weird. Why not have him go out on loan to a foreign league, learn how to be more like the sort of goalkeeper Pep wants, then return and fight for the number one spot?
As much as I don't rate him and think he's a knob, the way he's being treated if that's true is kind of a bit off.

Lord Wenger sounds like SAF during the 'no value' days
That's right Eriksen, blow that wage structure wide open
He strikes me as the egotistical type, he's already the best in his head so doesn't feel the need to improve!
Ref "Told not to expect new faces" article
Do you think thats through choice?, or we have spent our cash (or rather as much as Ed is willing to)

It's because Mourinho wanted four new players and he's got them all.
