Josko Gvardiol

If we can’t sell a centre half there’s no point in bringing in another centre half.

Stones.
Dias.
Laporte.
Ake.
Akanji.
Gvaridol.

he is a center back, fullback and a midfielder all in one. a more complete player than Haaland was at his age. a future center back legend in making.

 

[mosssideblue]

so what? we have insane surplus form our academy sales and a lack of incoming costs in past 2 years. we are swimming in cash surplus.

Yes, we generate a lot of revenue, but that doesn't mean it can all be spent on players

It's a business, and a very successful one at that.

 

[mosssideblue]

Like i said not all of those is gonna being spend on transfers, are we gonna ignore player wages plus their possible bonus for treble and other spending not related for transfer?

There's reason of why we always have limit and valuation of each player that we gonna bought.

Excatly, suprised many cannot see this

Looking at today with Dias I wud put gvardiol central as he is better carrying the ball out so gvardiol left centre back Dias right centre back ake and stones.

I said surplus with all the wage spending accounted for. we are swimming in cash surplus. if our board cannot get Gvardiol then the entire board should resign in shame. we are at the pinnacle of football with a treble and we are getting pushed around by nobodies like arsenal and RB leipzig. if they cannot do their jobs and act like a big club then fukin resign.

Generational, like many here thought de Ligt was..

Maybe, but Ake plays a lot at LB, Stones a lot in midfield now, Akanji sometimes at RB. He would add to the options and flexibility. And help if anyone ime Laporte pushed to leave.

mate you can go around supporting mediocrity if you want. fukin villa has spent many times compared to us. don't give me this bullshit that we don't have money after all our sales for the past 2 years.

we play a 4 CB system and pep doesnt trust Laporte in it, 80% of the time. add in Ake/Stones injury records. Could argue we need 2 if Walker & Laporte goes.

nah better than all other posts here accepting mediocrity from our board.

 

[Blue Bogey]

Absolutely none of what you said is relevant to the deal.

They still have an agreement for Lukeba and Geertruida, but would like funds up front to make sure those deals are sorted,…..

Which club could potentially do that unless City actually pull out of the race?…. So who’s this mystery club able to offer them that money?…..

I’m very confident he’s ours. But if not, he’s not moving elsewhere any soon, that release clause is way too high, they’ll simply have to sell him under the release clause value, we’ve seen that aplenty in La Liga and Serie A. No rush whatsoever.

Do RB have an agreement with Lukeba the player, or his club? I know they don’t have an agreement with his club Lyon. A rhetorical question, Do you think RB prefer to have Gvardiol or Lukeba?

12 months ago no one could foresee that a club from Saudi Arabia could make a serious offer for Bernardo. 12 months is a long time in football. To think that no one could buy out Gvardiol clause next year is folly.

Just to make it clear I like Gvardiol very much and hope we sign him. I mentioned him on here as a player we should go for 18 months ago.

Or some of us is able to realize that this is not a frikking EA FC.

And likely 4 of those will be on the field at the same time. 6 for 4 spots makes sense. I think this "centre half" notion doesn't really fit either, Stones is effectively a holding midfielder (something I suspect they will try with Gvardiol as well), Ake is a LB, Akanji is a psuedo right back with stones inverting.

Think it's better just to label them defenders, assuming Cancelo is gone, and Walker looks likely to move, we'd have 7 defenders counting Gvardiol and Lewis.

yea FIFA will be more realistic than what we have now. city treble winners having a negative net spend while the likes of aston villa are spending 100s of millions improving their team while we are penny pinching for a few millions for a generational talent.
