Where are the guys who said I was overreacting a while ago now?
We should've signed him like 2 weeks ago. The club has fucked up if they lose Koulibaly due to this contract renewal.  

 

Manolas is also reported to not leave Roma anytime soon. Then who do we have to sign up as centre back? Mustafi? I prefer Koulibaly.

Make haste, Chelsea! 

 

EDIT: Also, unbelievable. This might be the second year in a row we fuck up on centre back targets. 

Do you genuinely believe the stuff you post? How exactly do you imagine the club should have acted in order to sign Koulibally two weeks ago? What should we have bid?

Ridiculous posts. 

De Laurentis does NOT need more money. Bill Gates can come to him to want Koulibaly, and IF he doesn't want to sell, he won't sell him. He is that thick and stubborn. 

There was no way we could have gotten Koulibaly, the moment his agent opened his big mouth and started chatting shite. Get Lindelof, Conte will mold him into a Bonucci-esque defender, if he fulfills his potential.

The sum Napoli wants for him. Pay the 40 fuckin' pounds or whatever it is in euro's and be done with it. We are in big need for good defenders, I think as much as in need as Le Arse is with strikers. 

You really think we can achieve top 4 with our current defenders excluding Zouma? We need this guy or Manolas. But it seems, IF REPORTS ARE TRUE, that the club is more busy with Morata which would be a stupid signing.

Doing business with Napoli is a huge pain.

So out of my original list of possible defenders we could've targeted we're left only with Mustafi. That's slightly disconcerting.
And that kid from Benfica apparently.
If reports are to be believed Conte wants at least 2 defenders brought in; hopefully we manage to sign them both.

But what  is that amount? There is no amount. If you name an amount you just put a limit on what you can get. Clubs in Napoli's position don't ruin their negotiating stance by doing anything so stupid unless they have to because there is a clause or they urgently need to sell the player. Instead, they just sit tight and turn down all bids till the end of the market. I don't know if we have bid €40m for Koulibally or not but if we have it will certainly have been turned down

Why don't you get it?  Have you just started following football? You sound like you may have.

And you don't really seem to understand how transfers fucking work. You inform by Napoli. And either they tell you that you can have him for maybe €45 million, you cannot have him or they do what most clubs do nowadays: "You know, make us a bid. Surprise us and we'll see what happens". And when that happens you, they turn down every single bid we make and we might get into a bidding war wich as reports claim to say: Everton. 
You give De Laurentiis and Napoli 45 million euro's for Koulibaly and changes are they might sell him. Maybe not. Atleast do something. Put some pressure on it. Window is still open for a few weeks but it's good to get signings in early. Because as you see, Napoli might give him a better contract which he accepts. 

So don't try to be a smartass plonker. I know how these things work. I might have a different view on it. Getting deals done quick so that other clubs have no chance to snatch him from us.  I'm just getting a bid frustrated that the club is moving in slow pace to sign up a good centre back. Cahill is done. JT is only still at the club for the dressing room and that's it.

Is there any ball playing CB available left on the market now?

At this point, we should just recall Christensen. There's no way we're getting top 4 with the current set of CBs we have at the club.

[Pizy 18,848]

We should just go and get Mustafi & Jonas Hector. They could both slot straight in to the team and are perfect players for the Conte system. Great on the ball and great going forward. Much easier to sign I would imagine coming from smaller, less rich clubs.

I've read this self-contradictory post and you clearly do not know how things work.You also do not know what offers Chelsea have, or have not, made to Napoli but you feel free to criticise them for not doing it anyway. You are confused.

Emm... How do you know whether the board have asked or not? How do you know how much Napoli replied? Maybe they said ok give us 100mil then you can have him, should we still go on? How do you know whether Conte likes him or not? How do you know Napoli want to sell or not? How do you know Koulibaly wants to go or stay? We practically know nothing insightful but some media bullshits. If he ends up signing for Everton I will be pissed just like you, otherwise just stay calm and let Conte and the board do their work.
