Josko Gvardiol

32 getting a loan and 32 is coming in, you mean?

Gvardiol will take 32.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Gvardiol will take 32.

Figured. Perrone to Girona seems apparent

 

[blueblueblue2]

Still a quality CB regardless of his perceived lack of versatility.

No doubt about that, just another victim of this system like Cancelo and Walker.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Exciting signing this! Will definitely improve our first team. High quality defender.

 

[Chopper2115]

City want Gvardiol no matter who goes but suspect Laporte will go, think it’ll be a loan away for Laporte is other clubs know we want to get rid.

Not good at all for the club and Laporte and Cancelo.
Neither should be going on loan at their age and quality. People moan about Saudi spending money I don’t get it the premier league has all money to spend, a lot of these historic clubs have to sell their star players now to buy.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Croatian blues…

 

[Gumzy97]

Peps creating the best defence the premier league has ever seen. Gvardiol is a world class CB at 21 years of age. Has everything to become the best defender in the world.

Very close, imminent, bags packed, next few days are key, personal terms agreed, almost finalised, payment terms getting sorted

Clubs in the prem that can afford both, either the player doesn want to go there (Villa/Spurs-Laporte) or we dont really wanna sell to (Arsenal-Cancelo)

 

[Vester]

Not necessarily. Gomez is moving up to the wing position. Walker could be leaving too. There is plenty of space to go around next season.

No team is close to signing Laporte atm. None who can afford him anyways.

I’m hoping Bilbao comes in and City enquire about Williams

Who has reported anything about Gomez moving up to the wing position? I must have missed that!

 

[blueparrot]

Still a quality CB regardless of his perceived lack of versatility.

But not used much.

 

[Taylor]

This is an Haaland type signing in defence, he will be easily one of the best CB's in world football over the next few years.

City never do business on a Monday. So just need to check flight tracker from Tuesday onwards.

PL the most watched league by a mile its not a suprise how much money it makes compared to others

 

[RayCTID]

But not used much.

Not fully recovered from his injury. Akanji's improvement as the season progressed didn't help matters either. I am not suggesting Gvardiol is going to be an awful signing by a long chalk but it is not going to be plain sailing either.

Croatian blues…

Croatian Blues coming after you.

You are right - yet there were many on here who didn’t want him and couldn’t understand why were buying. Bizarre.

(wishful thinking)

When we sign Gvardiol the back to back Treble and Invincibles is on.
