Josko Gvardiol

[Coatigan]

very weird how defensive some people here on simple facts like "it sucks that we miss out on good players" like it's some sort of attack on them

Lol, that is some backtacking there pal, Romano levels of twisting.

My car is petrol actually.

Mine too. Probably why I didn't understand the diesel analogy.

If we miss out on Gvardiol, I want us to keep Laporte. Anyone else is not good enough. Then, I want us to pay Gvardiol's release clause (close to 100m quid) next summer.

Sorry to disappoint the forum flappers,but this will get done when RB have stopped sulking.

Well lets hope so and quickly too. I would be slow to criticise the boys as they have generally done well over the years but as I said earlier we probably need to nail this one over the coming days or move on.

No transfer. Just watched SS News Germany. The guy is training for Leipzig.

Don’t want us to pay 100mil€. We need to get far away from this image.

Shall we try and scrub Jack Grealish from people's memory?

Why should we be arsed about the image of paying that much? It's what top clubs do to buy the best players & prospects out there. In our case, it's adding superb elements to an already dominant team.

Is it? Or are you just disappointed that your misreading of my initial comments doesn't neatly fall into the "whining fanny flapper" narrative you seem to love falling back to so much?

I agree with this tweet. I reckon this is exactly what happened.


We should have signed him when we had a chance. I knew Liverpool paying them quickly what was needed for Szoboszlai is going to make this signing difficult.

When did we have a chance?

 

[pavelsrnicek]

My on view is that this is all posturing. Leipzig have always been looking for replacements first and as such want to wrap those deals first. I think both clubs agreed to keep the deal under wraps until Leipzig agree a deal with Lyon.

Unfortunately the deal leaked and now Leipzig feel they have to cast as much doubt as possible on the deal hoping Lyon don’t fleece them.

Ultimately it will happen but just not as quick as we’d like.

Surely we just leave it until then.

Lets be honest an asking price of over €100mil is ridiculous however a release clause of over €100mil makes much more sense.

Doh! You knew but City didn’t & their transfer policy fails again.

 

[JamesMCFC]

Club briefing that. Looks like we are determined to see it through which is good.

We would have debriefed we have walked away if there are any issues that can't be rectified.

 

[Ajm1985]

Why not.
Do you not understand the concept of putting a value on something.

You've got the example the wrong way round. Leipzig are the petrol station, they value diesel at £1.50 per litre; City only want to pay £1.35 per litre.

It is.

Not really my narrative btw.

 

[mancityscot]

reminds me of the KDB transfer. The Wolfsburg sporting director at the time came out out and said the same sort of things, then a couple of days later it was all signed sealed and delivered.

Must have missed that particular post, what page was it on?

 

[vanchi]

Oooft that's infuriating: Liverpool not fucking about, getting a player I wanted at City and it strengthening Leipzig's position while we don't pay their asking price. Ouch

not that it matters, but on june 30th i was hoping to see the news that city signed gvardiol and triggered szoboszlai’s release clause. i just loved watching him play.

I agree, some people get so aggressive for no reason. You are a city fan as much as anyone else and want what you thinks best for the club as they do. It's a forum for people to discuss opinions and news but some people can't handle different opinions and view points.

yeah i think that’s weird. could bu just cultural differences i guess. but i like hearing different opinions on any subject and believe discussions are good.

Just part of the pantomime to appease their fans

their fans knew he’d leave soon, that was never a secret, they have their core players that are there long term, others are there to be sold.

The other poster was suggesting Pep doesnt give a shit about costs and just wants the player here.

My example was trying to say that if we value Gvardiol at 85m because that is what all of metrics tell us, why would we pay over that.
If you put £30 of petrol in your car, that is what you pay. You don't jump a queue of people and throw £50 on the table.

Pep is involved in this and for all we know, he is telling Txiki to stick to our guns.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

It's not vermin, it's either new City fans or teenagers.

They react badly to every tweet as if it's the absolute truth.

It’s also some blues who have been on here for years but somehow still don’t learn

but why would they pay more next year when they want him now and it’s less money now?

 

[Irlam Haaland]

If Borges Is available then why haven't City dangled the carrot of a player plus reduced fee to Leipzig, other teams In Germany are Interested as well as WH and others, got to be tempting, from what I've seen of the lad Leipzig would be pretty much guaranteed a profit on the lad in the future, got to be careful that Liverpool or Chelsea don't sneak In with the fee Leipzig want.
