Josko Gvardiol

[not my fault!]

Reposting this again (no slide tackles)...

What I take from that is the amount of assists he’ll get for setting Haaland up.

Just lunge in, I can nick it..

Miss the guy…

Hope so mate, still a bit gutted about the whole Rice deal

I normally agree with you on Transfers, but where would Rice actually play with Rodri here? I just don't think it was a good move from us, unless we swapped him for Kalvin.

If we lose De Jong to Arsenal I’d be more gutted

I’ve stopped going to The Golden Palace on the strength of this. The items in green used to be inclusive of Rice or Chips but now you have to pay. Happy House had picked up a lot business even though they only do Vermicelli Noodles instead of the thicker Medium Egg Noodles.

ha, they turned down two world record offers for her earlier this year and now she has walked on a free. You honestly couldn’t make this up.

Something gone on there, very strange, a lifelong utd fan, playing for the club she supports. They turned down World record offers twice; they must have expected her to sign a new contract and stay, but out of the ‘blue’, she announces she’s leaving. Hmmm

They turned the offers down because they were going for a title. That's worth more than a few hundred grand in transfer fees.

Turned out well then ;-)

for the people on plane duty. joško is still in novigrad near zadar (surrounded by children everywhere he goes). there’s a ferry from zadar to ancona in italy but if he doesn’t leave croatia it’s gonna be either zagreb or zadar. View attachment 85449

And girls (or boys if you like) - he's a good lookng boy, up there in the Johnny Stones class, possibly the prettiest centre back pairing in world football

That's City's secret plan, something for everyone.

 

[Blue and true]

Interesting that the consensus is we're bringing in a centre back. Having thought about it, if we play a conventional back four next season I think he'll play left back.

Left back into left CDM, in my opinion.

His passing ability is exceptional. He loves to play those powerful, fizzing passes through the lines. I'll be astounded if this guy doesn't become an instant success with us.

 

[iwasthere1968]

Has he signed yet ?

 

[Gumzy97]

Probably doesn't mean much since its ESPN, but Dias was rated the best CB in the world and Gvardiol was rated the second best in the world. So going off that we could have both in our team next season which is scary for the opponents.

End of next week at the earliest

They also failed to recognise Stones.

It was a gamble. They lost out. They're good at that.
Long may it continue…

Never seen a back four/five like it (Dias, Stones, Akanji, Aké, Gvardiol). With Laporte if he doesn't go, although he almost certainly will. Oh and Ed behind that lot.
I distinctly remember in the late seventies watching Liverpool's defence, with Clemence behind it, and having the depressing feeling that it was like trying to break down a granite wall with your bare hands. The difference is that football's moved on, and your defenders are also supposed to be able to play forty-yard midfield passes that split the opposing defence in two. Nobody asked Tommy Smith to do that!
I mean it. Haven't seen this quality at City. Nor anywhere.
