AndyBlue82 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Roma defender rated at £35million http://metro.co.uk/2016/03/18/chelsea-told-they-can-seal-kostas-manolas-transfer-for-35million-5759454/ Apparently we failed with a £26million bid already.

magichat Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 can't comment on his skills, but at least if this is true it's a sign that we're looking in the right direction. we're in dire need of a CBhis stats seems solid, then again stats are often misleading without actually seeing the playstill hoping for marquinhos though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayosNoun Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Excellent defender and really quick. I assume he is being signed as the right sided defender in a back three. Edited April 1, 2016 by MayosNoun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_cfc Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Young Pacey centre back, would have some serious pace at the back with him and Zouma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayosNoun Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Definitely. I'm all for this signing. Manolas is very fast. Conte always prefers a left footed player in his back 3. So I assume we will be linked with every left footed Italian defender since Maldini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayosNoun Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Chiellini is left footed. One can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comtrend Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Excellent defender and really quick. I assume he is being signed as the right sided defender in a back three. He is also technical, simillar to what Frank Lebaouf was for us. I would much rather we bought him instead of a slow Bonucci, hopefully we could get him for £25mil-£30mil.

AndyBlue82 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu1xXQDC3GU Fast, skilful and confident playing the ball out from the back. For the right price he could be a very good addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adineen98 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If we do manage to sign this fella, it would be a quality signing. Zouma, Manolas and Dave(?) wouldn't be a bad defence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpington_Blue Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Solid player although 35m seems a bit much. For that money our first target should be Laporte, although city are in pole position to land him. Regardless, if we get Manolas we could have a fantastic cb roster for 16-17 season of - Manolas, Zouma, Ivanovic and Miazga. This could get even better for 17-18 season with Christensen coming back to replace Ivanovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfluff Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Being true to italian tradition you know conte is going to insist on having the best defence around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBlue82 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Rumours appeared to start up again yesterday. By all accounts we're going up against Arsenal for his signature. Could be a back up in case Koulibaly goes to Everton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summer is coming Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Chelsea are prepared to offer €32m to Roma for Kostas Manolas and a €4m per year contract. The defender recently complained at the proposed contract renewal and warned he could walk away this summer. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia, Chelsea are behind his protests. The offer on the table is believed to be €32m with a contract worth €4m net per season. The big problem is that if Manolas is sold before August 31 2016, Roma owe his old club Olympiacos €10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpington_Blue Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 This guy should have been out 2nd choice behind Bonnuci any ways. He is much better than Koulibaly and Rudiger. We should just secure this deal asap. Even if it means paying another €10m for Roma to pay to Olympiakos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBlue82 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Saw a article saying Koulibaly is going for £50mil. That's pounds not euros!! Last price I saw quoted was €50mil and I thought we'd be overpaying. Rather pay €40mil for Kostas anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_cfc Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Think we'll get 3 more in Hopefully one of Manolas/Bonnuci/Koulibaly A right back or left back depending on where Azpi is going to play and a centre midfielder if Matic does leave Andre Gomes seems to be a legit target.

pacquiao Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 This would be an incredible signing! Manolas and Zouma at CB would allow us to play a high line and press the ball more effectively higher up the pitch, I can't think of a faster CB pairing then Zouma and Manolas.
