Chill he's a long term target... Keep calm and...

Omfg WTF the end is near, we're signing Djilobisjejfhy guy when our defense is in turmoil!

Nope still can't panic.

Keep calm and Papi papi, papi chulo!

It's just so out of the blue that I'm having a hard time believing it. All of the other CB targets we've been linked with are clear improvements on what we have. Stones, Garay, Laporte, Marquinos.

Can't belive we'd go after someone like this. Smells like BS.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Bit of a panic buy tbh...

[Chelsea4 1,521]

He's not a player for Chelsea. What a fucking joke.

He's just an average CB in ligue 1, with no technic.

We were on Stone, then Marquinhos for finally buy this guy.

Just LOL.

Djilobodji is not average he is a good defender.

There is a guy who is way better: Nkoulou from Marseille and he can move beacause he has only one year contract.

He's not Thiago Silva but has technics, not bad on the ball. Very solid.

For example he's way better than Sakho.

But please not Djibolodji.

Everybody is making joke about this, here in Paris. They don't understand how Mourinho can buy Djibo.

Why cant we get Kalas or even Omeruo (remember him ) instead of some average player whose only attribute is/could be 6'4 .... Grrrrrrrrrrrrr ... We don't need to sign players to please fans but to freaking built a solid team.

[Chelsea4 1,521]

From stones to this... Joke of a transfer window...

Djilobodji is better than Stones if you have watched Nantes.

[Polo7 3,496]

What a pathetic buy....

I can bet everything I have that you havent seen this guy play. (actual matches not youtube)

People on here actually think they know better than our scouting network. Yes we didnt get our first few choices but that doesnt mean this guy is useless.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

We were linked with him in past if I remember correctly.

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

We were linked with him in past if I remember correctly.

Yes, in 2013 and 2014.

FC Nantes have confirmed to @francefootball an agreement exists with #CFC for Senegalese defender Papy Djilobodji.

Looking him up, I thought I'd come across some 18-year-old who is already a starter for a Ligue 1 side. Turns out he turns 27 this year.

I'm sure the club can purchase someone with more pedigree. I don't think this is true.

[Special Juan 28,111]

Oh right, so this is actually happening? Never heard of him.

It is. From Pogba and Stones to Papy fecking Djilobodji

Djilobodji is not average he is a good defender.

Last year I played an auction draft for Ligue1 with friends.

We were 7 and all know the league very well.

At the end of the draft, i had no money left, and needed a CB.

So I took Djibolodji for one euro, I know him pretty well.

He's exactly the kind of CB that L1 produce a lot. No technics, very strong physically.

Don't look at Nantes defensive stats, it doesn't mean their CB are good.

In L1 it depends on the style of the team and Nantes has a very defensive style.

With L1 lacking of very good stricker, if you play this style, you won't have a lot of goals against you.
