Josko Gvardiol

[Gaz76]

People were actually clamouring for Rodrigo De Paul after the World Cup. Fucking bonkers.

I thought he was the standout midfielder for the argies at the world Cup, ran his bollocks off

I’m aware.

However I gave the information that I received including the timeframe.

‘Expect the clubs to announce full agreement within the next 48 hours’

That would be today. Any news on this, mate?

MOVE ON

I think because there’s a lot of frustration that we missed out on Bellingham then Rice (particularly galling as it was to last season’s closest rival) compounded by losing Gundo and the uncertainty around a number of our squad like Bernie and Walker and now the time it’s taking to get Gvardiol, or not.

Quite reasonably many of us are a bit worried the squad will be weaker this season unless the board can work its magic and pull a couple of decent first team standard signings out of the bag. Hopefully they will.

Unfortunately, the way some express these frustrations by criticising the club or Txiki (wrongly in my opinion) leads to other posters vehemently defending the way we’re run. It just keeps on in circles with everyone arguing blue on blue, yet all we want is for City to be successful and win the title again (and maybe a cup or two) next season. We’re all on the same team here!

For what it’s worth, my opinion is we definitely do need at least one top class midfielder in, and ideally a fast winger. I personally don’t believe any of Bobb, McAtee or Palmer are anywhere near the level of Bernie, Gundo or Mahrez, (never mind Rice or Bellingham), so we will be a lot weaker if we don’t buy top players to replace any who leave, or even just to refresh the team.

Yes we have a great core of first teamers, and of course we won the Treble, but that’s gone now, we’re going for it again this season, we have to. We can’t afford to be complacent.

Great post, agree

He's bang average but yes he does run a lot.

WHY?

We don't need Gvardiol now, Cancelo is going to save us 90m quid.

Does he though? Not sure.

Don't think he does.

Rodri, Bernardo, Kovacic and De Bruyne are all better midfielders than him and Foden has the potential to be.

Good one

Good one

Thank you. Can't see anyone falling for it can you :)

Bellingham.

I'll leave it at that.

Foden and Bernardo are better than Bellingham.

 

[Gumzy97]

You can see why Pep wants Gvardiol. Ake is good defensively but he’s not a natural attacking player. Gvardiol can do both very well.

I thought it was your mate that was daft lol

A straight swap? I like it!

 

[Centurions]

with add ons but £35m upfront mate?

Why on earth would a City fan of all fans not include add-ons in the fee, given how we're always reported on?

 

[argyle]

Is it just me or is the transfer forum a lot more toxic this year than years past? I know we have a tendency for it when we don’t get a signing for a while but it seems particularly bad this year

Kids and the new foreign fans from twitter have found this board.
