He will for this year as he gets bonus points for it being his first year as a young player.

Ah ok. I don’t think we’ll wait that long. Could do with him for next season. Maybe worth cashing in on him and Berge. £40M for both would be nice to add to the transfer budget

Wouldn't he still have work permit issues even if SJ was keen to have him back?

No chance we can get a work permit for him yet plus you can’t turn down £10 mil profit in one year on a 19 year old. Lump a 15-20% sell on clause on him and we’re set

He won’t get a permit to play in England for at least another 2 years will he?

He qualifies on last season, next season it would be more difficult unless he breaks into the national side and plays 90% of games for his club. The main issue has been that he’s not been that good and massively inconsistent. All to be expected from a kid of course which is why you loan them.

Bob would we be able to loan him to another Championship / League 1 club next year, and then have him back for 22/23 season? Would that get around the issue of his points dropping if he were to stay at Beerschot?

Be nice if we can keep him and Berge.

A midfield 3 of Coulibaly, Berge and possibly Cairney would be pretty awesome at Championship level.

You’d struggle to get the points given the level he’d be playing in league one, championship is the same level but we have an agreement in place with Beerschot. Let’s be right, if he really is a £10M player then he’ll be playing every week and making the national teams (under 21s helps too).

Coulibaly won't play for Blades if Galatasaray have bid £12.9m for Sheffield United's young midfielder Ismaila Coulibaly.

The 20-year old has come to the attention of a host of top European clubs after impressing during the first year of a three-year loan at Belgian club Beerschot, who are part-owned by Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah.

The Blades, who have just suffered relegation from the Premier League to the Sky Bet Championship, bought the youngster for around £2m last September from Norweigan side Sarpsborg before loaning him out to Beerschot.

Ah well, we can't miss what we never had. Gerrim selt
 
If he's the real deal he wants transplanting into a major European league ASAP. Gala are trying to get him on the cheap. As soon as he does well in England, Spain, Italy etc his value will increase exponentially. Shit or get off the pot time. A loan is acceptable provided we protect ourselves with his contract length.

If he stays at Beerschot 1 more season I’m sure he willl play all games except if injured off course and the manager of Mali was quoted that he was monitoring him and was close to the national squad. The problem was that he had a foot injury in December which he played through for a while and his level dropped as the injury got worse. He was then taken out of the team and did not play anymore in the last 2 months of the league to heel the injury. In our home game against Anderlecht he totally bossed Anderlecht’s midfield ace Sambi Lokonga who is valued at 25 mio and who can join a serie A team this summer. So the reasoning was if Lokonga is worth 25 mio at around the same age and Coulibaly outclassed him then surely with a bit patience you can get either a top PL player at some point or you can make at least 25 mio.

Then the best move would be to bring him over this summer. We currently don’t have a box to box midfielder at all, and we need at least one for most formations. We’d be looking to bring in a loan who’d probably cost a similar amount and if he’s already interesting clubs that will only increase with a year in the Championship as PL teams will also take more notice.
It’s seems no lose to bring him over, accept for your team of course.
 

If he qualifies for a WP.

Get him over here for Slav to run the rule. End of. If Slav says no flog him. If Slav says yes get him involved. If Slav says he’s not ready yet see if Galatasaray want him on loan?
 
I've watched a lot of Beerschot games this season for obvious reasons. He's quick and get break lines with his acceleration and dribbling. He's a bit mercurial and can give the ball away in bad areas at times. He needs games and experience: when/where to pass, when to dribble etc. He ticks a lot of boxes for what we are missing in midfield in terms of having the ability to drive and commit players, whilst also having a trick and a goal in him. For me, the difficulty is seeing whether this is one year too early to bring him to England. Ideally we'd want him to have a year's bedding in before he played in the prem for us. If everything goes well that's where we'll be, so it increases the temptation to bring him back. He's the type of player that seems to have so many options (almost too many) so it's not surprising to see the big interest.
 
I think we should make the decision on him this summer, is he first team or do we sell. We can’t afford to loan out a 15m asset, we also desperately need midfielders and it looks like we have a pretty good one on the books already.

I know officially Berge hasn’t left the club but realistically he’s already gone. He’s been hinting things for months, even brown nosing Arsenal

The club I guess need the money so it’s a done deal as far as I can see

This Coulibaly lad though sounds intriguing. Seeing as he’s our player anyway, would love to see him in a r & w shirt at the Lane

I wasn’t being serious, but yeah in a perfect world you’d have those two together.
I can make an argument saying both with increase in value after a successful season in the Championship but I think costs will mean we need to sell Berge whatever. As a player I don’t think he’d kick off to force a move though if we wanted to keep him.
 
Loan him to Galatasaray £6m - 10m 2 year loan. Insert option to buy for £35M - 40M if after that they want him sell him or he comes back here
 
Galatasaray aren't spending 13 million on the lad. In fact no Turkish club are spending anywhere near that amount on an unknown.
