Josko Gvardiol

[DeBlueLou]

Could he play in Rodri/DM position when he needs a break?

Phillips, Kovacic, Stones and Lewis all can. Ake is probably the next best candidate.

 

[oakiecokie]

Why?
No doubt a good player but doesn’t the defence who’ve won a treble deserve their places in the pecking order?
Reminds me of the Kevin Bond signing which split up the really promising Cayon and Reid partnership in the early 80’s

You see thats the kind of response that both Liverpool and the Rags managers dwelt on. Stay with the old guard and they wont let us down.Far better to bring new players in.You`re stuck in the 1970/80s if you think that squad rotation is a bad thing.

You can't really rule that out with Pep in charge

Was also thinking this would be class there has all the attributes

I would imagine that a Philips is going to get that chance next season.

Jack's signal

No bid yet. Again!

He can do what Stones does from the left

Was just thinking there must be another angle besides playing as a CB and maybe Laporte doesn’t yet need to leave.

Because standing still and not strengthening the team leaves us making the same mistake as dippers and scum have made in the past. Always strengthen from a position of power .

 

[oakiecokie]

Who cares.

Too many daft fuckers worry too much about the cost.ITS NOT OUR BASTARD MONEY we keep shouting at them.

 

[wolviedinho]

Came across this youtube video and it shows what he will bring to our team. I have to say his passing is ridiculous. man is passing like KDB already. and he is such a aggressive defender like Dias or Akanji. He is probably thrice the player Rice already is and that is way 100 mil pound was a mental thing to pay for Rice. with due respect Rice is not a generational talent like Gvardiol. This will be Simply a sensational signing for us.

Maybe pep is going to play gvardiol in beside Rodri!

I know it’s sky’s, Bt, the premier league and uefa’s lol.

Piss boiling nicely on the burner.

Whilst he isn't the second coming of Vincent Kompany and the fee does seem excessive he is good enough as an Eric Laporte replacement (although it is slightly disappointing on how that has ended).

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Why oh why does anyone truly give a shit about fees, I’ll never get it. If City agree to pay a fee they’ve done the homework and know far more about valuation and what we can do than anyone else.

Chill and enjoy the window.

Phenomenal signing this will be.

 

[skillman]

You’d assume Stones and Dias are guaranteed starters so interested to see what Pep’s cooking

 

[MadchesterCity]

In fairness, Rice isn’t a centre back - should only compare apples to apples.

Declan Rice is a Crab apple, Gvardiol is a Pink Lady!

WOW a massive £1.58 per home game. Worth every fucking penny jrb. ;)

I would hope this is a lesson we learned well from the past too…
