24 | Joško Gvardiol - 2025/26

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Personally think Gvardiol is out best defender and we absolutely should not be selling under any circumstance.

Im not saying we should sell him but I mean if he wants to go and we can get that kind of money then fair

 

[joseinimran]

If he wants to leave then I think we should let him go. New manager, new players.

 

[CΛL]

Let him go, third best centre half as it stands anyway. Tidy on the ball but makes mistakes. Best performances at left back.

I don’t want anyone here who isn’t committed personally.

Is that you Joško?

 

[merz]

our best defender and still very young. would be suicidal to let him go. no other cb or fullback is even close to his passing ability

Another report just now that he wants out this summer as Pep left. It’s weird why players don’t play for a club but just a manager?

I would agree but I don't think Steven makes things up

Really ?

Well if it is true, I'm sure that City will respond in whatever way suits them best.

Our best player for me. Madness to sell and it’s obvious he wants parity with Guehi etc

 

[Manchester_lalala]

If he was only here for Pep then bye Josko.

 

[King Jay]

Just sell him. Don’t need people like him. Viana fucked up with the Guehi contract. The marmoush contract too.

lol

 

[K-Bo]

Bit too much smoke now TBH, I don't think he appreciated the Guehi signing perhaps. Signed an international player in his position because he was injured for 5 months. I think he should just get over it and compete, but could see how he might view it as an insult

 

[waspish]

We paid £77m for him! Think he has 2 years left on his contract so if he wants out it’s the time to sell for big money! They paid 65m for 28/29 year old Diaz from Liverpool so I’d want £80m or close to it

 

[oldius]

Sad if true, but we will move on. IMO, one of the world's best.
There is a lot of social media noise at present - taking advantage of Pep's departure for clicks - though I don't include @twosips here, who clearly loves the club.

In the short term, it will mean that our four of Dias, Khusanov, Guehi, Reis will be the group. This also assumes that Ake moves on.
I have high long-term hopes for Stephen Mfuni (a stuck-record I am) but he is a year of first-team action away, IMO, unless the club decide he is already ready: his performances at Watford were superb. If we do bring him in then we also have experience in Dias and Guehi. Proven quality in Khus, and a quality addition in Reis, who has the physicality and footballing skills to succeed, if not the PL gametime as yet.

Agree but i think a lot fans didnt mind this in the past when they made us favourites to sign players on the basis they'd want to play for Pep. Always felt a but off to me. Anyways, any player who doesnt fancy it anymore because Pep's left can follow him out the door for me.

 

[Johnnyblue7]

If any player doesn't want to stay then bring us a good offer and off you pop, no hard feelings and best of luck finding what obviously we can't give you.
