It is either a coincidence or something is not quite right, in the fact that, for the second consecutive summer, the club whose centre half we would like to buy will not sell for any price or under any circumstance.
Frankly, the club should pull the plug on Koulibaly and tell Di Laurentiis that we will no not be conducting any future business with them, no loans to them (Chalobah), nothing. The same applies for Everton. I can accept a club not wanting to sell, but not wanting to sell to specific club is pathetic, small minded and stinks of ego.
I think we are going to go with what we have and there will be no more incomings because the club quite simply won't get involved in overpaying for players not worth the money.
I am fine with that but I will not be expecting a title challenge. Top four is what the objective should be and try to build on that next season. However, if inflation is this bad this window, this time next year prices will be even worse if they follow the same trajectory.

We will make more signings. Trust Conte.

Don't think we have really wanted lukaku, certainly don't appear to have made a bid for him.

Its that type of childish response that makes people cringe. Don't take it so personal. If a club offered us less for a player than we thought we could get would you want us to sell?

I agree Melbourne - Di Laurentis is already under pressure from the fans for selling Higuain to rivals Juve - Koulibaly is under contract until 2019 - Napoli are a huge club - after the sale of Higuain, Napoli don't need the money - why would they sell unless we offered a ridiculous amount?

Plus us fans don't really know what's going on, we just get fed crap by the media, all I ever read was Napoli want to keep him until next summer, if so we have 2 options, give them a massive offer they can't refuse, or pull out and respect that the selling club doesn't want to sell, I hsve to agree will Melbourne, what if Real Madrid offered 50 million for hazard our best player?, how would we act?
