Read this post again and you will know why:Koulibaly would be 32 in his 5th year here if we signed him in January. We would have him for his prime years as a defender. Koscielny was 34 in his last year at Arsenal and was arguably still our best defender when fit. Koulibaly has missed only 7 games over six seasons with Napoli, due to injury.
Unbelievable that people on here would turn there noses up at Koulibaly because he's "too old" as a 28-year old center half. This f*cking place.
Why don’t we buy Upamecano who is just as equally as good as Koulibaly? And instead of losing the complete chunk of transfer fee after 5 years, we make a profit.A young player who cost £60m can be considered cheap. Because in a few years time, if he performs well, we can sell him for £120m, and we can sell him at original cost even if he turns out to be average.
An old player that cost £15m is expensive because his ability is on the decline and most often you sell him at a much lower price in a few years time. We shouldn’t waste time on players older than 26.
It’s like why you would get a 28 Neymar when you can get a 21 Mbappe who is just as good and you can earn money with it instead of losing huge money?
