Souleymane Coulibaly for £1m?


Buffs

Recommended Posts

Kilmarnock have apparently accepted a bid in the region of £1m for him.

f**k me! The transfer window is mad.. He has had a decent 6 months in a shit team who make him look good.. Granted, he has scored a couple of cracking goals but a million pounds?

Meanwhile St Mirren will be lucky to get £150 000 for a player with the ability and potential of Steven Mallan.

Mental.

To be fair, Coulibaly has been in the spotlight as a potential world superstar since he was 17 (yes, really!) and broke all sorts of records at the U17 World Cup, being called the New Drogba by some sections of the media. That potential has never really came to fruition though and only now at 22 is he finally showing some promise. Clearly, he'll never be of the level that Drogba was but it's safe to say he's both better known globally and a brighter prospect than Stevie Mallan and will go on to carve out a decent career for himself.

Falkirk quoted today as having slapped at 750k price tag on a young full back with 7 1st team appearances yet our youngsters will be allowed to leave for comparative peanuts.

 

What Falkirk say they'll accept and what they will actually accept may be very different.

As has been mentioned before what English clubs are buying is potential so McAllister who's just turned 18 and has less than 20 first team appearances is likely to sell for more than Mallen who's approaching 21 with nearly 100 appearances. That's the crazy world of football! :wacko:

I agree however they are at least willing to say publicly they want a big fee. I have never seen us do that (rightly or wrongly). Falkirk at least give the public impression they will not be selling on the cheap.

True about player worth and timing. remember Andy dormans supposed transfer to rangers. The Egyptian team he's going to are a rich club who is based in Cairo a city with 8 million compared to Kilmarnock's 160.000 plus big Marvin.

160000? :blink:

Try 46000......plus Big Marvin.

Southend sold a 13 yr old to Man City for 250k moving to 6 m with youth and development appearances......
Mallan is worth what the market will pay, fact is he was probably worth 1m after THAT goal against Dundee.
 
Its all about timing



If anyone had bid anywhere near 1 million for Mallan he would be long gone.

A feather in the cap of Lee Clark who has managed to find a diamond amongst the 25 odd young, English lower league players he's brought in to Kilmarnock. God knows how many more he'll sign if he's given some of the money!?  

And that's what we have to do raid the lower league and unearth some diamonds.maybe not 25 players though

Yeah. You say Mallan was worth 1 million.

If he was, why has no one bid half of that for him in the last 2 seasons?

 

 

No I said he was probably worth a million after all those views on u tube...... So that's kind of answered ur question- It was a view point not a fact

Worth a million to who? Certainly wasn't to any of the hundreds of clubs who could have paid that for him, else they would have.

You can't just pluck a figure out the air and say he was probably worth that then.
