Kalidou Koulibaly

[RuudiGullit 112]

He needs to be brought in by the end of this week. He'll probably miss the WHU game and maybe the Watford away game.... 

[BlueStorm1003 539]

Get him ASAP or go for Mustafi. I'll take anything at this point.

Fuck sake...

Imagine Chelsea caving and paying over the odds, much to the delight of fans everywhere, and he turns out to be Luiz's brother.

I understand the desperation of many supporters but you also have to remember this isn't Godin, Chiellini or Boateng we're talking about. As in defenders who have been performing at a high level in elite football for multiple years. If the club isn't willing to just fork out silly money for him, that's perfectly understandable.

I'd love him to join and would take the risk because of the current situation in the centre of defence (though realising he could easily fail to live up to the expectations), but I won't lose my mind if the club simply isn't willing to to pay stupid money.

I just hope they are working on a deal for plan B and C as well because not having alternatives would be incredibly dumb.

Just go for someone else ffs. He's not worth that much.

Absolute beast of a defender. The best available there by far but at this point I don't think it will happen unfortunately.

Need to switch to another target.

They have supposedly rejected a £42m offer. I thing he's getting a bit too expensive for my taste.

Stones saga all over again, not surprised.

In that case I'm pining my hopes on that Guardian journalist who claims to have been told that Chelsea have not in fact bid for Rom.

this report exists?

My day just got brighter! Thanks a lot for the intel

Gazzetta dello Sport say Napoli have turned down £42m bid from Chelsea for defender Kalidou Koulibaly

 

Didn't learn from the past. 2nd Stones SAGA.

We will buy another Djilobodji

[LondonsFinest 692]

Just saying,Gazzeta are unreliable. 

Calciomercato seem the most reliable.

 

I am not saying we've had the bid accepted, just calm down.

[mccg 1,528]

Ffs just bring back Christensen,give Gladbach  Miazga for a year 

[the wes 7,212]

That's move to a different target ffs

[quickpassnmove 924]

It's looking more like Stefan de Vrij ATM. 

[El P. 1,354]

We made a bid and half an hour later Gazzeta have news about Napoli rejecting it? Too early, isn't it?

Calciomercato is really bad. Carlo Laudisa works for Gazzeta and was the one who said Napoli rejected a 50m and he is the most reliable man in Italian media after Di Marzio.

Wellp, didn't know that. If what are you saying is true, which I presume it is, then we are well and truly fucked.
