Buying a player going off the World Cup isn't a very good guide to be honest. There have been plenty of them who flopped after having a fantastic tournament.

yet,your main argument against buying him was the one game we twatted them 6-0.
we all have our opinions on different players,if we do sell laporte i think this lad would be a great replacement,i could be wrong,but so could you.

The arguement is whether Gvardiol is value for money and whether he does have enough to really justify the price tag or we should wait for another season where we can get him a lot cheaper which gives him another season in working on his weaker parts of his game at Red Bull Leipzig. Rather than throwing him completely in the deep end at City where he has more than one club that can expose any of his faults. Being part of a side that shipped 13 in two seasons doesn't cut it for me.

Mad isnt it I never really was keen on ake but absolutely love the guy now I have been totally won over.so for me I'd rather ake over gvardiol.

Well Ake is our LB now and I actually think it would be hard to better him. You;ll find a few who are more dangerous going forward but none of them will shut down and pocket the likes of Saka or Salah the way Nathan will
 
I know he's a good defender and everything, but do we really want to spend £100m on a defender when Dias, Stones are first choice, and Ake/Akanji are more than capable as well? Need to bolster other parts of the pitch first. If Laporte leaves and is sold (which looks likely), we should be looking at Inigo Martinez type signings, who Barcelona look to be picking up on a free: experienced CB who won't mind being rotated

Or buying a left back like Theo Hernandez or Alfonso Davies

That's a bold claim to make mate... He's 22 & has all the raw materials of a top class centre back. I don't get how you can sense he's at his peak now & will never improve further? \0/

It is a bold claim nobody knows the future, but i will agree with you if you believe that he is worth breaking our defensive record, based on four players, all played in the Bundesliga at roughly the same age with lesser plaudits, Boateng, Upamecano, Konate and Tah. Is he better than those?

A player's only worth what we're willing to pay. Rumours are that we're willing to allow Laporté to leave if we can replace him with Gvardiol.

It's a decision for the club to make & I trust they'll make the correct call. As for how much he'll cost? I'm sure we'll take all factors into consideration...
