Kalidou Koulibaly

[It's too big 625]

Say we didn't sign a central defender, how much of a travesty would it really be? We already have Ivanovic (who has been a brilliant defender for us over the years, if you exclude last season), Cahill, Terry, Zouma, Miazga, and also that young, promising defender from the academy (can't remember his name) too. Under a coach like Conte these players could easily operate at a top level again next season. Don't get me wrong, it is still important we sign another top centre back, but all I'm saying is we still have a good amount of quality defenders at our disposal. Haven't seen too much of Koulibaly, so hard to say how much he will improve us.

We could still manage, but not buying would greatly put a dent in Conte's tactics. Conte's system requires a defender who can pass from the back, but with ivanovic, Cahill and Zouma, we'll be hoofing the ball upfield and it'll force Conte to adjust and manage which is really annoying when we can avoid it before the season starts.

We are getting outbid by Evertoon I REPEAT we are getting outbid by Evertoon.

Breaking: Chelsea are set to land Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly by offering €48m, beating their league opponent Everton.

What's the source? Me, there, I said it, instead of Twitter I posted on here so you better fucking believe it.

You're actually one of the most annoying members on this forum at the moment. 

So what if Everton outbid us by 6m euros? It's Koulibaly's decision to come here or not. I'm sure he'd pick the Bridge over Goodison Park.

You stupid or what? He can't choose us if Napoli doesn't accept our bid and they will not if Evertoon made a bigger offer use your brain.

You don't really seem to understand how transfers go. If Napoli accepts Evertons bid, but Koulibaly doesn't want to move to the city of Loserpool him to EFC is not happening. The player always has the final word. For example: Roma could've accepted our bid for Nainggolan but if he wants to stay in Roma, it's not going to happen.

I know that but we can't sign Koulibaly if they don't accept our bid.

Everton's offer is actually higher than Chelsea's: 40 million euros. (Di Marzio)

I didn't see this before, can  you post his Twitter link where Dimarzio posted this I've been seeing fake sources saying Everton has bid.

Yep. 2 factors in transfer drama's : the club needs to accept the bid and the player wants the move. If Koulibaly tells Napoli that he (desperately) wants to move to Chelsea instead of Everton, Napoli might give Chelsea a final price that might just slightly be more than Evertons €45m (think €48m). 

 

I really hope the rumours of Everton moving in on Koulibaly are false as then, they've destroyed or €40m bid. I know they've got a new rich owner or chairman or something but Everton stays Everton until they climb in the table for the next season's meaning that at this moment , if a player could choose for Chelsea or Everton ... well that would be an instant choose for the true Blues. Us.

Jesus, this forum makes me want to barf at times. A reliable source reports we've made contacts. No reaction.

 

Shit source says EVERTON will outbid us for him and everyone starts moaning. You people have no pleasing. 

A reliable source says EVERTON outbid us. How's that sound ?

I've just cracked the code. They're spending Stones money already and throwing everything at Koulibaly.

If other club outbids us that doesn't mean that they will instantly sing him and we probably gonna bid another time

The player holds the power in this. If he doesn't want to go to Everton, how much they bid for him doesn't matter. Who is to say that Chelsea won't up their offer to match Everton's? Complaining that Everton bid higher than us after we've already had a bid on the table is outrageous. It's not like they made a bid before us and we decided to undercut their bid. Before you get angry, at least see how it plays out. 

Also, please refrain from calling other forum members stupid, or telling them to use their brain. You can have debates without insulting someone.

I agree with what you said sorry i didn't want to insult you but didn't you say i'm annoying?

Ivanovic is very bad at defending not only last season, Cahill is medicore with awful moments, Terry is slow and overrated (right now), Zouma is coming out of very serious injury. Miazga, Clarke-Salter, Omori are all very young and unexperienced. Not buying a CB would be total disaster.

He is quoting Mercato or own words? Either way, if the footballer doesn't want to go to Everton, what they bid doesn't matter. At the same time, if he does, than Napoli will milk them big time, and I'd be okay if we look at someone else as long as it is a quality buy. Koulibaly's the best choice, right now, no doubt, BUT there are always other options. If we are to sign him, I don't want us spending over the moon for him. 34mil. Pounds plus bonuses is an amazing offer. If Napoli don't want it, they can fuck off.
