We did try hard for kouli last year, coughJohnStonescough but napoli was already swimming in cash from higuain deal. De laurentis instead of giving a firm reject, figure it would be more fun to watch us putting in bid after bid.

Napoli have warned Chelsea that they have no chance of signing Kalidou Koulibaly this summer, according to reports in Italy.

Corriere dello Sport claims that the Premier League champions are preparing a €60 million [£52.7m] bid for the 25-year-old.

With VVD now gone, could this guy be the answer? Obviously Napoli are a nightmare to negotiate with, but as a player, would Koulibaly be an upgrade on our back 3?

We need a beast in the back. Terry used to be it and then Luiz but we are lacking the physicality back there now.

A beast with a long pass that can go forward. Prettty rare. Or I'd love a proper ballance for Dave. Another rareity.

Any about we could tempt?

Perfect start to building an offensive minded team in my opinion. Him and Christensen back there. Dave can whip in a cross or play any of the wing back positions. It would honestly set up our defence for the next 5 to 10 years.
Bonucci could be a good stop gap until the next decent prospect comes along. Seems we are linked there as well.

I thought we offered almost that for him? Our new Hulk!!

 

I still want Telles too.

If we get Sarri he'll be one of his first choice targets I'd imagine. He says he has no say at Napoli but I bet any money he'd take him in a heart beat.

Sarri would probably prioritize developing Rudi into KK esque, Sarri hates the transfer market and even declined the chance to spend big on a Higuain replacement.

Then that's the type of coach we need.

True but I think in terms of a left sided center back in a back 4, he'd be excellent. Plays that side for Napoli, is an absolute monster as well, very complete player. No doubt Rudiger could be that sort of player for him but he is an immense player. Suppose CB is the last place we should be looking anyway, considering Zouma and Christensen are under 24 and both very good prospects.
