I posted on him all the time

his goal scoring record is insane

this was from April:

Horrible in the run up to the goal though and Martinelli has had him on toast.

That's concerning.

Especially if we really are planning to break the transfer record just to get him.

Again, have to wonder why we aren't linked with other alternatives for CB.

As in who, we failed with most of them.

Skriniar, Ndicka, off the top of my head.

Are they fast and can they carry the ball forward? Seems to be the profile Tuchel wants in his outside CBs.

there are hardly any truly goods ones left

2 who are there for next summer due to contracts:

Gvardiol (release clause kicks in next summer)

Skriniar (free next summer and Inter will not budge off their €75m demand to sell)

then you are left with

 the 5 in bold are best bets for  decent buy

Pau Torres  not at all sold on him
José María Giménez far too often injured
Aymeric Laporte  Citeh will not sell him to us
Wesley Fofana  far too expensive IMHO, has been shit today v Arse, just got smoked for a goal
Presnel Kimpembe    has refused to come here, he is staying at PSG  
Edmond Tapsoba still not 100% sold on him
Jurrien Timber has grown, is almost 6 feet tall now, same height as Thiago Silva, speed burner
Evan Ndicka lefty
Robin Le Normand
Stefan de Vrij    turns 31yo in less than 6 months
Merih Demiral   
Gonçalo Inácio  lefty only 20yo
Mohamed Simakan 
Maxence Lacroix would be a dice roll, but certainly has the physical skills 
Adam Webster 
Ilya Zabarnyi   19yo
Attila Szalai    lefty

As someone who cheered when he was touted to replace Aguero at City because i didn't believe he was as good as the Argentine, I have to agree that those are impressive number but, even so, he never made himself the undisputed first choice there. 

[Nero 1,838]

Man, this Leicester goalkeeper is so bad. 

From Schmeichel to THIS. wtf

Gvardiol hasn't signed new contract yet.

[Magic Lamps 11,649]

Fofana is still bumbling through this game 

80m well spent lol

Paying a world record fee for this player would be a poor choice in my view. Walk away please TB. The reported bids are already too high. We have to discipline the market to understand that we are not an easy touch and that requires disciplining ourselves in the way we spend..

Thanks. That was top of my list of guesses but I didn't know. Did you happen to watch the game today? If so, how was Nkunku. Two in two to start the season I see.

For a brief, Nkunku also scored.

of we want a right footed CB at a decent price with huge upside, I would move for
