It's too big 625 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have watcher neither Koulibaly or Maksimovic. However, I think we need to go for the best option and first choice otherwise we will end up signing a player who is inferior to our main target.

akgw13 867 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I dont know much about either personally. K2 physically has everything we could ever want, played the most forward passes in serie A last year (dont quote me, saw it in an article) and most importantly if this is the defender conte wants it is who i want. lets hope the dominos fall and we get him in to training asap!

I think hats important too is picking CONTE'S 1st choice cause as we know if a manager comes in with a transfer that the board picked then it wont make alot of diff how good he is cause he will select someone else over him. We really have had a manager like that. I'm hoping this isn't the situation with Bats! But dont think Conte's ego is that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Haven't seen enough of him to be honest. According to many in here he is pretty good with long balls which is exactly what we need. Besides that, how is his technique with the ball? Closer to Carvalho/Bonucci or closer to Zouma/Mangala? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a physicality of Zouma/Mangala and a good technique for his size. Not quite Carvalho/Bonucci but could come close under the right coach. Conte would transform him in a total defender, I'm sure about this. Ryan Fong, kellzfresh and !Hazard! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen he is calm, strong yet fairly agile and already use the ball quite well. Definitely a late bloomer and he will only get better and better under Conte, no doubt about it.

Nowhere near Bonucci but also nowhere near Mangala. In the middle IMO, maybe slightly towards Bonucci. Maksimovic is better on the ball than K2. !Hazard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Christensen-Koulibaly-Zouma could be quite a complete defence if we ever want to try 3 at the back in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekinjo 449 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Lots of reports from Napoli indicating K2 will renew with a clause of 60m with possibility to be activated next year. That's what De Laurentis trying to do. Koulibaly has the last word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekinjo 449 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The agent of Martin Caceres met De Laurentis and are close to finish the deal. Also, Darmian is opportunity they're waiting for. quickpassnmove and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's too big 625 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think comparing Koulibaly to Bonucci from last season is kind of harsh. I don't watch Serie A much at all, but Bonucci is obviously the more seasoned defender and has grown into his role (helped with being coached by great coaches), whereas Koulibaly is still quite young (in defender age). It is similar to when people say Stones is shit, but fail to take his age into consideration and the coaches he's had (Moyes and Martinez are hardly great tactical minds), but under the right coach he can become a top centre back in the future.

Agree with you. Just trying to show he's not inferior to (almost) anyone. Big plus is that one is Juventus player (Bonucci) a club maybe 2-3 teams have beaten in CL in last 2 years and other plays for Napoli ( K2). And don't forget Antonio Conte's quote how Koulibaly is the best defender in Italy. Certainly all of this doesn't mean nothing if we somehow get this guy and doesn't fit for example like Shevchenko.
