Josko Gvardiol

We will never know how Maguire, Cucurella and Jorginho would have played for City but the latter was decent for Chelsea and probably would have been better under Pep.

Mendy, pre-injury, was playing well and provided quite a few assists.

I think our scouting team gets it right more often than not which is reflected in the success since Pep arrived.

It's not the scouts getting them right ultimately, it's Txixi, Soriano and Pep ect.

Scouts shouldn't be recommending them though.. of course it's conjecture but there's no way Jorginho is better than Rodri in any system or team. Same with slabhead vs Dias. Kane before Haaland only one that's debatable.

I didn't say they can't be trusted they just don't scout as extensively as the information on said player is already basically available... you don't need a scout to tell you a full international champions league Bellingham would be a good signing... for the likes of Julian Alvarez/Gabby/Fernandinho that's where the real scouting is done.

Correct, the same applies to Gvardiol. Essentially all big clubs and most people agree on this. Can they be wrong? Sure, the same applies to Bellingham or anyone else in world football, so it's always a risk.

Of course. It's borderline impossible these days to watch someone who plays for a Champions League club or a country which finished third at the World Cup. I don't know how anyone manages it.

It's cool if you've got doubts but I'm almost entirely sure that if he joins then you'll realise how wrong you are by September.

Always find it funny when people assume almost nobody thats interested in football could possibly be watching top leagues other than the Premier League and/or CL on a regular basis, just because they themselves dont :)

Top level talent. Proven at a european level at his early age. Imagine his level sky rocketing under Pep. Really hope we bag him. Ideal replacement for Laporte.

I had put off learning to spell his name. The Fabrizio one has told me in his secret ways that I should learn it as soon as possible.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

predict around £70m for this one if it gets done. City want him: he wants City. Hope it gets done, although it will mean Laporte is off which is a shame.

As with all the rumoured transfers, I can’t imagine City will confirm anything until after the Champions League final. If other clubs confirm pending transfers in the meantime, so be it, but the window opens after the CL final, so I am prepared to wait

This what you’ve heard mate?

Only that he wants City and vice-versa. Nothing on how far along with Leipzig or exact fee mate.

Nothing confirmed but like with Kovacic things are moving behind the scenes. Things are bound to leak out. Even before the final.
