Popular Post! Pizy 18,918 Posted August 17, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted August 17, 2016 Bet my life that we won't pay near that for him. It'll be a huge sum but not that high. Don't care if he pans out. Hope he's got thick skin, though. The English media and supporters around the world will savage him with any little mistake he makes. Diego, nono, kellzfresh and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 £60 million for Kalidou fucking Koulibaly. This isn't solving a problem, this is sheer desperation.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Chelsea swoop for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly in club-record £60 million deal (Telegraph) #CFC #Napoli Conte could move to a back-three if he signs Koulibaly, a formation he has favoured in previous posts with Juventus & Italy (Telegraph) #CFC There is a growing sense that #CFC will, finally, test #EFC’s resolve to hold onto Romelu Lukaku before the window closes (Telegraph) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzy_Vance 454 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I don't mind playing 60m for Koulibaly. A long season of Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic as our CBs will be f***ing painful, but forking out 60m+ for Lukaku when we already have Costa and Batshuayi (who are both better IMO), would have to be the most baffling move in the transfer market yet. We didn't need another f***ing striker. We need a LB (we don't one have legitimate LB in our squad) or a midfielder. Please, please, please don't buy Lukaku and just do whatever it takes to get this done. Muzchap and blu35_army 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same goes for Kante. He had a world class season. No reason why they can't back it up under a stronger manager/squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If we sign him I hope we immediately then go and sign a fullback next. A new striker is the last thing we should worry about before the deadline. Even with Koulibaly I'd worry about the defense a bit with Ivanovic back there. Think about all the top class left sided wide players he'd have to go against. Martial, Sanchez, Sterling. Leicester would probably put Mahrez on him. He'll be ripped to shreds.

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I wonder what would have happened if we paid the asking price weeks ago? You know before they sold HiguaÃn. That's the difference between what juventus did and us. They go early and get things done. Now we are panicking and paying much more for leaving it this late. Second season in a role they do this. I wonder how they keep their job if they do the same mistake back to back...... Hybrid Angel, The Chels, kellzfresh and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't sign someone to replace all 3 anyway! ..I admire your optimism but don't share it  Why not? The last loanee this far ahead in his loan programme was Courtois, and we benched a still high performing Petr Cech to play him. He has experience playing in a back three, Antonio I believe wants to play that system in the long run, I will be amazed if he is not here next August.

Liuxas 125 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Why just not include a player. The club has so many players in the squad and loans them every year. Why not just try to give them for example, Moses or Atsu+Money. In Seria A a lot of big teams using this system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Tomo 21,751 Posted August 17, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted August 17, 2016 How hilarious, after weeks off moaning about how the board are low balling and can't finish their dinner now we look to have made a breakthrough whining about the price, unreal Ultimately as many have pointed out our defense is vaunrable, other teams will feed on that especially as Kalidou is the best available defender in the market, so we might have to pay a bit extra on this occasion but it's how it goes.

Leif 6,006 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I don't know why individually we want this guy, it'll be for different reasons for each of us i'm sure, but the pros I see are pace, strength, physical presence, ball distribution, positioning, anticipation. Bare with me here. Azpilicueta offers all that bar the physical presence (yet he's taller than Cannavaro & the same as Puyol.) I really think we already have the ingredients all here, but the wrong recipe. Azpi / Christensen/Zouma could work wonders theoretically, I really believe so. I've so much faith in Azpi and I know when he loses his pace he'll slip into centre back for whoever we eventually offload him to. Let's start the party early and get him in there. Splash this cash on new staff members. Peace., Spike, Amblève. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
