Souleymane Coulibaly (ex Kilmarnock): Strange Situation

[jaws73]

I was just reading a 'where are they now?' article on the subject matter of top scorers in the FIFA World Cup, one of whom was Souleymane Coulibaly who had that short stellar spell at Kilmarnock which netted the Ayrshire club a bit of dough:

The Ivorian moved to Italy as a teenager. Following his impressive showing in the Mexico edition in which he scored nine of his country’s ten goals in just four games, he was on the move again to Tottenham. He then flitted between Italy and England’s lower leagues for first-team football.

He made people take notice at Kilmarnock with an array of outstanding strikes. After only six months, Egyptian giants Al Ahly parted with six-figures to beat rivals Zamalek to his signature. After six goals in nine games, the forward walked out on the club.

On 4 June 2017, Coulibaly posted on Twitter saying that he felt oppression and not safe in Egypt at Al Ahly, and that was why he left Egypt. After this tweet many African players that played for Al Ahly said that they felt safe and happy like Flávio Amado who said "what Coulibaly said made him laugh". Al-Ahly submitted a complaint to the International Football Federation (FIFA) after Coulibaly left the club and requested compensation.

He is apparently training with Hurlford United in order to keep fit and hoping to become a free agent.

A strange one indeed.

I can see the club’s position and his if his fears are real.

Killie done well out of that one indeed, a million quid a year or two ago. Must be the most expensive junior player in history.

Something must have given him the fear as he was doing well (6 goals in 9) and Al Ahly really are a top club.

He would be a good signing for someone on a free

Egypt is not the place now that it was years ago. Their tourist industry must be decimated.

The pyramid system seems to work there

True but the stadiums are large deserted.

 

[Arranger]

Giza brek

 

[EduardoHerrera]

He'll end up cleaning the Suez if he's no careful.

Definitely somesphinx not right though.

I don't know enough about him
I remember his name, and that is about it.
But your post is the most interesting one on the thread.
Surprised that Killie aren't in for him again?

 

[StuGers]

He just upped Styx and left apparently.

 

[All of the Lights]

Be playing with Hurlford Thistle earning their cheating £££££ before you know it.

 

[IH8Everyone]

Think the club may have grounds to Suez him!

 

[Thecraw99]

The situation is just no Pharaoh on the boy.

 

[jdilla]

I'd happily see us take a punt on him

He was sold for a million quid not so long ago. I thought he looked very decent up here, and he's went out to the Egyptian league and tore it a new arse before walking out

Still really young

[clubdeckcharlie]

I think his behaviour is rather juve Nile.

 

[muthacupboard]

He's better off. Hurlford is slightly safer and marginally less oppressive than Cairo.

 

[mayfairblue]

That was a decent strike.

 

[shawlandsbear]

I think his behaviour is rather juve Nile.

Think he probably just missed his mummy.

They’ve got really fanatical fans ...... the tomb army

 

[Larkhall_Exile]

Heard he's well in with the Hurlford chairman. He's a bit of a souk.

 

[Noddy]

He moved for a six figure sum. Not a million.

 

[lowerhuttloyal]

See the lego eater got done like a dogs dinner again in that clip.

 

[Kilwinnin Bluenose]

Sounds a bit like he's ran to his Mummy!

 

[Wulliewanfit]

I would be sheikh as a parrot if i was him....

 

[Earl of Leven]

If we do offer him a trial he should arrive at Auchenhowie, park his car, then toot and come in...

 

[shawlandsbear]

He had a bad back injury when he was in Egypt so wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole unless we get a good cairopractor.

Tut tut

 

[weetam3106]

Nile wager that its something to do with corruption, could be just the very tip of the Pyramid.

 

[A1bertz]

Sadat this has happened to him.
God only knows why he wasn't Hapi, maybe he just couldn't Heket. Off his Nut to give up on the money but probably Thoth it Bes to move back to Scotland.

He's not free, and there's not much clubs can do until he is unless they buy him from Al Ahly.

 

[Fowz]

Some of his goals for Killie were belters, must've won at least a few Goal of the Month competitions. I wouldn't turn my nose up at us signing him if it became a possibility.
