I wouldn't bat an eyelid if he decided to go
If we get 20 million for him, it will be the best deal since Welbeck.

Koulibaly is only considering coming here because Woodward has let him know that Mourinho is gone at the end of the season right?
Am I missing something here?Exactly. It's football's worst kept secret
If it's Euros, it's about 80m, which tbf seems to be what people are demanding post van dijk, neymar, demebele, coutinho.90m is far too much for Koulibaly.

Yeah, from the reports coming out of Argentina, it was $100m and would settle for £90M. I'm really surprised that currencies aren't consistent across reports, or just reported accurately.Napoli president said they rejected 100m euros which was £88m or there abouts at the time.

May just have the dollars floating around, like after a holidayId find it very strange if Napoli were offered in dollars, that's just bad manners to give them the bill for currency exchange
Well we should be snapping up next great youngsters so hopefully we get this over the line.Didn't know where to put this, and it's not a tweet, but the Bristol City manager yesterday said that we are interested in Lloyd Kelly. He's a 20 year old left back who will possibly end up playing centre back when he physically matures. Good on the ball, smart defender and very composed/mature for his young age. Played lots for England u20 and the other day played 90 for the u21's for the first time. I've seen him play a lot of times and he is very impressive. The step up to a Premier League club seems inevitable this summer, I hope it's us. Would be a Dalot-type signing for the left side.
The manager said we have watched Kelly 30 times (I think), and also that Man City are 'studying' him. If not us or them I think he will move to a minimum Watford/Everton level team. I don't see why we shouldn't go for him.
I still don't think he is that great and warrants a world record fee for a defender. But yeah, we need some injection of quality CBs and Koulibaly fits the bill. I just hope if we sign him, he turns out good for us.If it's Euros, it's about 80m, which tbf seems to be what people are demanding post van dijk, neymar, demebele, coutinho.

It isn't really in todays market.
Do you think he is that good? I just get that Italian teams hyping up a player to fleece us out kind of vibe from all this. Plus DiMarzio is silent.Ah it makes sense if you don't rate him that highly.

Well we have to start from somewhere. Neves would be my choice for the DM position but knowing Mourinho, he would go for some 6'2 relicHe is actually very good. Him alongside Smalling would be very adequate IMO.
But it still won't solve our DM problem as Matic and Herrera are both not good enough for that position. As long as we lack a DM to screen the defense, I am not sure even Koulibaly can stop us conceding. De Gea hardly ever comes out as well, so it means our CBs are tasked with a terrific workload, which explains our current shambles.
Does every post in every thread have to have a "but with Mourinho in charge.... blah blahblah" fecking sub-clause?
E.g. should I have chips or mash with my pie tonight?
Chips mate, but with Jose in charge you'll be lucky to get raw spuds haw haw haw reeeeeeee

He looks a very promising CB from the little i've seen of him. Would be a very good signing if we can get him imo.Who, and is he better than the chuckle brothers?
Oh, that is the reason why we are worst at defence than them!Average height of Mourinho DM's is 5 ft 11 inches
Average height of Guardiola DM's is 6ft flat
You are clueless

Isn't he playing at right back currently?
For Fiorentina he's been playing as a RB but long term he's gonna be a CB imo.Isn't he playing at right back currently?
