I think this is the first window where the touted price hasn’t been above £80m. I’ve never seen him as a £80m player.

Unlike Kurt Zouma, Harry Maguire and Devran Lovren and you mean?
I think he may not be a Rolls Royce, but he could have played in the PL no problem and been a fuck of a lot better than much of the dross that’s masquerading as CB’s.
It wouldn't make a difference.
Yeah? Light blue is always an appealing color, but I feel like their home kits this year are very much like our new ones with the kooky pattern and the clashing red sponsor lumped on top.
For worse examples of 80m spent on CB’s see my post above. He probably isn’t, but I’ve seen dafter money spent.
Pedro Martins only went and changed it all at HT!!
Now it looks like Camara is sitting in front of the back 4. And Valbuena has begun the second half on the left side of their 4-4-2 defensive shape.
No ones arguing that those 3 CBs you mention aren’t also extremely overrated/shit. Doesn’t change the fact I think there’s a reason no big team from the PL or La Liga has come in for Koulibaly.
Even in this game compare him to Lenglet, who isn’t nearly as highly rated yet is twice the centre back Koulibaly is IMO.
No need to spend silly money just because other clubs are acting premature. We are already gonna look stupid on the Ndombele deal, should he be offloaded this window, and that is very much down to the price we paid for him.

Sounds like I have to watch that game at some point
Impressive. Imagine averaging four goals and conceding less than one per match in the CL.
I really hope Bayern wins the CL this year. Top class club.
I suppose I am proud that they didn’t have a clean sheet against us and we scored 3 against them, but then I remember they scored 10 on us.
Because he wouldn’t be able to replicate or copy Muller?
In terms of their touch alone, they are night and day.
Did you want him in the first place?
Yeah - they've been incredible.
Considering some thought they would 'struggle' (by their standards) going into this season due to an ageing defence, losing key players in Ribery and Robben and not signing any real huge stars - they've done exceptionally well.
Crazy to think that in December, they were 7th in the Bundesliga.
But since then, they've won 19 out of their last 20 league games (drawing the other 0-0) and walked the league. In fact, in all competitions they've won 26 out of 27 games played since 7th December.
The likes of Gnabry, Davies and Mueller really went up a level this season and Lewandowski having a hand in over 60 goals is just phenomenal.
Looks like we'll get a Bayern Munich/Man City semi final in the Champions League - should be one hell of a game.
Though you can never write Messi off.
Absolutely, he’s a brilliant player. Unfortunately it doesn’t look as if Mourinho will play him.
Hansi Flick is the latest rookie manager to be a superstar manager from the beginning at a big club. He is a genius.
In a single game anything can happen, but I believe BM are the best club in the world. I fully expect them to beat Barca and City. Both of those defenses are porous and I believe BM will make them pay.
Next season they will have Sane. Should be an even better squad.
Crazy how you just go from assistant manager for 13 years after two average managerial reigns and become one of the best managers of the last year at the age of 55.
Do you think we overpaid for him?
Camara subbed off after 65 mins. He was hampering their buildup, IMO.
Not at the time, no
