Gaya is legit talent no doubt about it. Miles better than likes of Alba and Moreno.

Chelsea are going to offer 60m pounds for Koulibaly according to the Telegraph.

Wow. Blowing the transfer record for both Chelsea and a defender if we sign him for that.

We are not even after him ffs.

Rafa signed Higuain and Koulibaly and now their fees together could pretty much buy Napoli Laughing

by zizzle Thu Aug 18, 2016 5:54 am

Higuain almost scored as much goals in one season under Sarri than he did in two under Rafa :coffee:

by InteristAli Thu Aug 18, 2016 9:03 am

If it wasnt for Sarri, both wouldnt even get half their original prices. Benetiz

If you look only at the league, Higuain actually scored MORE in one season than his two under Rafa. Laughing

Doubt we'll see him get anywhere near 30 goals again in the league. At Napoli the side was built around him, at Juventus he'll be an improvement but the goal burden will be shared with Dybala.

Also worth noting that Koulibaly improved light years under Sarri while he wasn't even a guaranteed starter under Rafa, much like Jorginho and Insigne.

Nice to see you posting again, it's been too long! Thumbs up

Benitez was a mess. Jorginho, Insigne, Koulibaly, Higuain and Hamsik all exploded after he left.

Thanks bro Thumbs up

hopefully I'll be able to post more here!

Zaza to Napoli rumors now. Would be weird since they have 2 CFs already. I guess Gabbiadini can play wide, or there has also been talk of them playing with Insigne behind 2 strikers.

by dostoevsky Thu Aug 18, 2016 12:46 pm

Can't understand why Napoli haven't been chasing a RW instead of focusing on another forward. I do like Callejon as his work rate is insane but the lack of a third consistent goal threat really hurt them last season in the end.

by rincon Thu Aug 18, 2016 1:05 pm

Yeah he is all workrate. The difference in scoring chances from the left and right is too much. Were they after Candreva? they should have been. Cuadrado would be a massive improvement too.

That's why I think they might move to a 4-3-1-2, or even play Gabbiadini in the right wing (if they sign another CF). It could end up being

----------Zaza (Milik)
---------------------Gabbiadini (Callejon)
------Insigne (Mertens)

by dostoevsky Thu Aug 18, 2016 1:16 pm

They were after Candreva but even after missing out on him, there are surely other options.

I understand that a shift in formation is possible but given that they initially struggled at the start of last season using the 4-3-1-2 I don't understand the urge to return to it.

by rincon Thu Aug 18, 2016 1:23 pm

me neither, but its weird that they only have 1 RW, who is the worst player in their frontline, and yet are looking for another CF.

Classic bluff by Wenga to throw off GL Arsenal section. After hearing this they will get all excited Sri might even change his Club Supported icon to Arsenal and then bang "we don't need any new signings". The wily old man at it again Proud

That aint fooling nobody bro. Fortunately I have been rigorously studying the Teenage movies for past two weeks and have come across very interesting phenomenon in almost all of them. It's called Rebound Partner, I wouldn't be wrong if I say that Dortmund is your rebound Club and Tuchel is your rebound coach. Amirite mate or amirite?

EXCL: #CPFC reach agreement with #LFC to sign Benteke. £27m + addons that could take it above £30m. Travelling to London for medical & terms
