Transfer Rumour Kalidou Koulibaly

[Moomin]

He played for France u-20s until 2012, played full international in 2015. 3 year gap between the step from that level until full status is quite reasonable. Deschamps wanted him, but he maybe got impatient and chose to play for the country of his parents. Nobody noticed though hey?

Senegal must have a number of high quality defenders, I just can't name them for some strange reason.

So he plays some under 20 games, but no under 21 games!! I wonder why that is???

The following players "kept" him out of the Senegal team and should here on be deemed "Better than World Class".

Yeah loads of World Class defenders wait 3 years for a call up, its quite normal.

Meanwhile, while this fella was waiting for a French call up, Sakho was getting caps for giggles.

Add Sakho to the "better than World Class" list lads.

I would love him at Everton but echo the thoughts of others in this thread, some of the tackles in those vids, whilst proper boss, would deffo get him sent off in the prem.

Not that I've watched Italian footy since GOALAZO and James Richardson holding up a Gazzetta Dello Sport. Maldini, Baresi, Zola ... Anyway I digress. Point is, hasn't it always been much easier to get a red card in serieA? Prem might suit him?
Fairly sure this one isn't really going to happen though is it? C'mon we're Everton, after all these years I'm not sure my mind could handle us spanking £50m on a defender.

France had him in the under 20's, but Sakho at 19 years of age made his full debut for France. A year before this fella played for the under 20's.

Go figure??

Christ, that means Sakho is better than Baresi.

Neither do I???

Bless him.

That means this Napoli guy is better than Bobby Moore and Maldini or something.

Don't understand what you mean?
He changed to Senegal in 2015 i.e. not France, so until then I could have kept him out of the team, apart from my nationality etc!

He didnt change from anything, he played Under 20s for France, got swerved by both nations at Under 21 and then got a pity call up last year.

The fella looks decent from the very brief glimpses ive seen, but when people call him the worlds best defender well I take offence, yano?

thats it?
who's called him the worlds best defender?
By the way, I'd take Koeman or Conte's opinion over yours, your tag team partner or mine any day.

I would take my opinion over anybody elses.
