I might lock the whole forum if Koulibaly opts to stay at Napoli

Him staying at Napoli in the end would piss me off but I'd get over it in time. Him leaving Napoli for anyone other than Chelsea would end me... I'd lose my shit and rage.

Reports saying he's going to sign a new contract with a 45 million release clause and that he'll stay for another season and most likely leave next summer. 

Thats that then.

We've been fucked by Napoli, who would have thought of that? Hopefully we have a plan C. Although I can't see now who could we bring in, Lindelof?

Plan C is crossing our fingers and hoping Zouma will be alright

Chelsea still hopeful of signing Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly before Premier League kicks off - Italian club holding out for £50m.

Everything's BS until either Chelsea or Napoli announce something. Journalists all seem to be guessing.

I'm sure it bothers most of us here as much as it bothers you. Nobody wants to see our beloved club fail. I can be honest and say that sometimes when I think about Chelsea's situation it brings down my mood a little bit for like a few minutes. But that is as far as it goes, it's just football and life goes on.

As fans we can only support the team starting against West Ham and hope for the best.

And more importantly:

So if you're so inured to the Chelsea situation, what causes you to come on the forum and post this as a response to someone else's post?

Like I said about what his agent said yesterday: it has renewal written all over it.

So offer De Laurentiis 55 million and sign him up. We need new defenders. 

 

If Koulibaly stays at Napoli and Mustafi joins Arsenal: we're fucked. It makes next year a new "in between year".

Thank god a reliable source at last...

[RuudiGullit 112]

Many reports stating that De Laurentiis wants to keep him for another year, offering him a new contract with an agreement that he will be allowed to leave Napoli next summer. Probably a release clause or something.

It all depends on Koulibaly...but I really fear we are going to miss out on him. If so, the club needs to recall Christensen en pay Borussia Mönchengladbach a big nice fee. If we're ending up with Cahill and JT and the injured Zouma the club loses all it's credibility....what's left of it.

Hopefully this is Napoli working on their cover story for fans because selling Kalidou to Chelsea FC.

If this transfer fails then the board has failed if they cannot bring in suitable secondary options. The back line was atrocious last year and the board failed to bring in a replacement as they whiffed. A second year of not bringing in a few defenders would be a colossal failure.

With a few additions on the back club this team is capable of challenging for the title. Without them this team will likely finish upper table but out of champions league spots.
