Let us buy Stones or Bonucci for 50 mil instead.

Stones and Bonucci cost 50 pounds not euros

They're loaning out Benatia though. 

Still they have Hummels, Boateng, Javi Martinez, Badstuber + Kimmich so seems pretty unlikely.

Everton are saying they will sell Stones for around £50m. City are very interested and it will be no surprise to see Stones end up there for around that price. Everton will also have no problem imo paying the fee they receive for Stones on Koulibaly which is why I think it is important we try to wrap up this deal. Everton are already interested and I know they will pay big money for him. We just have to accept the reality of the transfer market and accept we have to overpay for majority of players. Especially ones like Koulibaly who has many football years left.

Have no idea why he would even consider Everton when half of Europe are supposedly after him. It would be a step down.

Seems like after a couple of reputable sources reported that we made an official bid about a week ago it's gone completely dark. Been reading more about Everton than us for him.

The hell is going on? The most pressing concern in our whole team is a new CB and nothing has happened yet.

You would think so however with Everton's new owners they will want to attract big name players and the will give them big wages as well. I also think Mata will end up there btw. But tbh the only credible links have bee us, Arsenal and Everton. He won't join Bayern. Those rumours are hard to believe. But if we put up the cash, I am sure he will join.

[Beigl 1,387]

Hope we will get him soon, four years with Cahill as starter are more than enough.

Him and Zouma could form a good partnership in the future.

One of Napoli's top players joining Everton makes no sense whatsoever. I don't care how much money is involved. A high profile club capable of challenging for trophies will always trump money (excluding the extreme of course).

I don't know why things have gone so quiet but I really do hope he ends up joining. The only attainable and ready to perform alternatives I can think of are Dortmund's Sokratis and Valencia's Mustafi. The likes of Stones and Marquinhos have potential but need time to master the craft.

Van Dijk would make an interesting gamble but it's probably best to see how he performs in his second season. But then again, I thought the same of Alderweireld and he did very well for Spurs (think the praise he received was a bit much though). Besides, he lacks the athleticism I'd like to see in a new CB purchase.

Would say more about his ambition than anything else, if he joined them. Also, I wouldn't be so certain that the Bayern rumours aren't true. It's unlikely seeing as they bought Hummels who will most likely partner Boateng, but with the impending Benatia departure; it could happen.

Bayern will not spend over £35m for a CB to be backup imo. Would be very surprised if they did. And Koulibaly will only join if he knows he will play. So not worried about them.

He'll see his career ambition in the next few weeks.

Once kante signs we are gonna go all in for koulibaly

He would be an immense signing. He's an excellent passer & ball carrier.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Surely not fucking Everton can ruin what would be a perfect summer if we buy him ?

I wouldn't ask for anyone after this even though I'm fairly sure we will sign some more ballers.

[Stats 7,142]

Although I still think we can desperately do with another RB, if we can sign Koulibaly next, I will be very content with our business so far. Hopefully this is sealed next. Immense CB and pretty much has everything. Pace, passing, strength, heading... just everything you want from a CB.
