Few class above Bailly.I'm praying we don't go for him. Just a more expensive version of Bailly. I want a defender with a brain as well as ability.

what makes you say he is lacking in intelligence?I'm praying we don't go for him. Just a more expensive version of Bailly. I want a defender with a brain as well as ability.
Clearly saying that because he’s black and even comparing him to Bailly. He’s levels ahead. Could have used Jones but had to do the Bailly comparison.what makes you say he is lacking in intelligence?
Got the same feeling he only said those things because he’s black.Clearly saying that because he’s black and even comparing him to Bailly. He’s levels ahead. Could have used Jones but had to do the Bailly comparison.
It's clearly a racist comparison.what makes you say he is lacking in intelligence?
You really need to rethink the shit you say before you hit that 'post reply' button. Just sayingI'm praying we don't go for him. Just a more expensive version of Bailly. I want a defender with a brain as well as ability.
Mostly for his actual defensive ability..I haven't seen too much of him but I'm getting the feeling that Koulibaily is rated more for his attacking exploits than his actual defense.
Exactly.Mostly for his actual defensive ability..
This kind of thinking is what gets you in our position. If you want the best you have to pay the price and in todays market the price is high. Toby is on his way down and Manolas is good but not on Koulibaly's level.The price being quoted is absolutely ridiculous. Hope we steer well clear. Good player obviously but they're asking 150m fecking euros. Rather get Manolas and Alderweireld for less than half that and sell Rojo and Jones.
This. He is a defensive machine. A beast. He can play though, Koulibaly has demonsyrated his technical prowess often byt his defensive aspects are his main power.Mostly for his actual defensive ability..
Rio?
Agree. That was literally one of the stupidiest posts ive seen on here and that is saying something.You really need to rethink the shit you say before you hit that 'post reply' button. Just saying
I think it was Rio aswell.Rio?
Rio is not black. He's light chocolate.Are people only comparing him to Rio because Rio’s black?
OK I was trying to lighten the mood but that’s clearly backfired.Rio is not black. He's light chocolate.
Erm, no. We bought the wrong players. It's not that we were cheapskates as we spent loads of money. You're basically saying feck value for money just pay up. Do you even realize that would mean spending over half our summer budget on a CB? It's ridiculous.This kind of thinking is what gets you in our position.

Trying to spread the money in an attempt to plug all gaps will inevitably lead to us bringing in lesser players, which we need to avoid.Erm, no. We bought the wrong players.

Quality over quantity mate. I'd rather have one world class centre back than 4 mediocre CB'sErm, no. We bought the wrong players. It's not that we were cheapskates as we spent loads of money.

I’d rather sign Alderweireld, 2/3 quality attackers and midfielders and a quality fullback.Quality over quantity mate. I'd rather have one world class centre back than 4 mediocre CB's
Koulibaly is 27, not 37..I’d rather sign Alderweireld, 2/3 quality attackers and midfielders and a quality fullback.
Price and risk is just too high for Koulibaly at his age.
He’ll be 30 or pushing it by the time we’re actually challenging.Koulibaly is 27, not 37..
I'd rather spend a £100m on Koulibaly than waste more funds on a slow defender like Toby.He’ll be 30 or pushing it by the time we’re actually challenging.
Doesn’t fit the age profile of the team we’re trying to build at all.
Toby at £25m makes a lot more sense.
That is just nuts. The difference in fees could net us one game changer or two quality players. Also CB is one of our least pressing issues considering Tuanzebe is ready to be part of the first team next season.I'd rather spend a £100m on Koulibaly than waste more funds on a slow defender like Toby.
I'd rather us spend all our budget on three clear upgrades, rather than bring in more future deadwood like Toby.That is just nuts.

What are you on about? What is this obsession with age our squad is littered with young players actually one of the reason why we are so crap and inconsistent we need mature heads in there. And he's fecking 27 mate.I’d rather sign Alderweireld, 2/3 quality attackers and midfielders and a quality fullback.

Without a doubtI'd rather us spend all our budget on three clear upgrades, rather than bring in more future deadwood like Toby.

I can’t make any sense of this at all. I appreciate you’re taking the budget into account but why but Toby at all given the profile? Buy an older, inferior, player just because he’s cheaper.He’ll be 30 or pushing it by the time we’re actually challenging.
