Kalidou Koulibaly

Look. IF Napoli had come straight out and told our powers that be we didn't have a cat in hells chance of buying him so we can fuck off then that would have closed the subject off straight away. So there must be some sort of a negotiating process going on unless our lot are just a bunch of masochists!

The problem here is they don't want to sell and most importantly they don't need to sell. They have the absolute right to toy with us until we raise our bid to a level which would be stupid to say no.

They passed that mark £10mil back or so.

He's their player so have every right to say bollox. And IF they had come right out n said it at the start I'm pretty sure we woulda just caled them cunts and moved along to our next target surely.

So Napoli must me ummming and ahhhring about summet cause it makes us look like complete starters and gives every club the idea to do it to us.

Sigh...no way we can know what's going on behind the door and all we can do is wait. I'm sure Conte is more desperate than us.

What about Fonte? I know he is 32 or something, but he is realy good CB tbh. If Napoli keeps playing hard ball with us, we should look at alternatives and Fonte is one of better options IMO. Used to PL, had two realy realy good seasons and just won euros.

If we dont sign Koulibaly, we will need to sign someone else and I hope we dont splash big money on some average CB or sign another Djilobodji.

[Special Juan 27,439]

"We will sign some players" "It's difficult but me and the club are talking about how to improve the team" Conte

Mangala to Napoli makes sense. Who knows maybe Sarri will get something out of him, Koulibaly's succses last season came as a surprise as far as i know, and they're at the same age.

Napoli now looking to sign an additional defender along with Maksimovic; that's 22 y.o. Toljan of Hoffenheim. Maksimovic to be done next week.

The general consensus with me and mates was that as after Tal Ben Haim, Sidwell, Pizzaro he went on a sulk.

This was even more exaggerated after Hector, Baby and Papy were foisted upon the squad. He just couldnt be arsed, knowing he would get full contract compensation. So he let it imp[lode, let us slip all the way down the table. Totally unprofessional, but only what every manager does, they never walk away and lose millions in compensation. Mourinhos was more of a scorched earth policy though. Childish.

Man Utd know this and allow him the Class A eggs =Pogba, Ibramovich etc, but if they stop him signing stella performers, he will chuck his toys out the pram again.

So essentially you're saying that Mourinho can only produce the goods when he has Class A eggs? That's pretty poor tbh. As they say, a great chef should know how to make the most of what he's got. He should still be able to cook up a good meal with average eggs. 

It's pretty shit that he let it all implode because he couldn't get his targets (all though there's evidence the club tried)  

Jose and United are a match made then since he will always have an unlimited budget there. He definitely wasn't the right manager for us since that won't be the case for us most of the time. Our huge spending days are behind us for now. We haven't (net) spent much in the last few years at all.

I don't think so. If I go along with this egg analogy, Mourinho only produces a fantastic omelet when he gets to choose the eggs personally.

I'll trust the Italian media on this. English media know nothing unless the player is about to put pen to paper.

Imo we wont go above 50m and we will get him eventually.
