Just can't understand why we're not linked with Kalidou and others top players all the time like every serious club when wants to bring new players. Looks like Abramovich and the Board doesn't know what/how to do. Chelsea looking lost. How in the world we brought Kante? Still don't get it.

We are heavily linked with Kalidou mate...

Admitedly all I know about this lad are all the Youtubes that I can find and theres no bout a doubt it the lads got skills.

What I'm a bit worried about is that he SEEMS to me like a mirror of Happy.

He doesn't seem to be good at pushing forward. Hes good at short range passes and getting rid of the ball quick but his medium to long range passing is poor.

He also  reminds me a bit of RLC where is not very co ordinated and clumsy. Which shows in how many times he gets booked a year. With us shoer on CBs as it is a ban wil hurt us.

To me Happydoes what he does - better. Don't we need a partner for him that can take the ball and make plays forward with it?

Completely untrue. Koulibaly is an outstanding carrier and passer of the ball - both short and long range.

I knew it wasn't far away, the old "everything will be decided in 3-4 days" line

 

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Literally have no idea what the outcome will be. But after reading a couple of quotes from his agent, surely his agent would want to collect a hefty fee for a transfer plus double the wages for his client ?

[LAM09 6,744]

Let's hope the saga is almost over.

Whenever the agent comes out and says that everything will be resolved the next couple of days, you can bet your house he's singing a new contract.

"This is what Kalidou wanted all along. He loves Napoli and never even thought about leaving."

[Diego 433]

Most likely a new contract or a a tactic from the agent to get chelsea to offer more money to the player and himself. 

Either way i'm glad it will be over soon, we will get him or we will be able to move on to the other targets

His agent seems fucking useless.

Watch Mourinho come in and sign him within a day or two after our board have twiddled their thumbs all summer...

Summer 2015., failing with Pogba, failing with Stones. Without alternative signings planned.

I'll just leave this here.

But I agree. He could come and sign Koulibaly, but for 70 mils, overprice it, like United mostly do.

______________________________________________________________________

Our board is doing decent job this summer. We signed CONTE, best manager available, sometime in April already? Then Michy, good perspective young striker. And then Kante, best transfer since Diego Costa. And now we are in for very good center back too.

And most important of all, we are looking for REALLY needed player types. (if we exclude Lukaku rumours as untrue)

Back to ONTOPIC...

Wait for that agent response and move the f*** on from this guy. We still have time.

[Billy. 2,742]

this guy aint even that good imo. christensen is much better

 

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

If his agent is talking then he's signing a contract renewal with Napoli. An agent wouldn't be definitively giving a timeline if the clubs were still negotiating a fee as he has no control over that.

And then the Mail put this spin on it

CHELSEA MOVE FOR KOULIBALY COULD BE DONE IN NEXT FEW DAYS

ANDY WARREN: Kalidou Koulibaly's agent has insisted the defender's protracted move from Napoli to Chelsea will be 'settled in two or three days at most'.

 

[Fernando 6,456]

Yeah I'm with some, he is not coming. He will just renew his contract. 

And that would leave us with no new CB for a second season in a row......

 

[It's too big 625]

A lot of talk from his agent. As we all know, agents lie too. We don't know what is happening. Di Marzio aren't reporting anything about this at all, so I don't believe those quotes are even true tbh.
