Will reserve judgement on this one. Not sure he is going to actually improve us and when we are paying a world record fee for a defender that is a strange comment to make.

For the money I’m expecting a mixture of stones and Dias

Paying for his age and potential. Cole Palmer is older than him and Gvardiol has led club and country for a few years.

Good thing that's what you're getting then - with a bit of Laporte thrown in for good measure.

He sure is something special. This video shows a lot of why he is just as good as LB and possibly could play the inverted role as well. Cant wait to see him in our shirt!

His stats for tackling weren’t the best last season so hopefully pep can develop him into winning more tackles. Even though I’m pretty sure we make the least amount of tackles in the league.

Why?
No doubt a good player but doesn’t the defence who’ve won a treble deserve their places in the pecking order?
Reminds me of the Kevin Bond signing which split up the really promising Cayon and Reid partnership in the early 80’s

Just because he’s arguably the best young centre-half in the world, and with Walker, Stones, Akanji, Dias, Ake and Gvardiol as defensive options we’ll be absolutely rock solid at the back.

Correct.

We don't tackle, we block, then we win the ball back.

But we are getting a combination of both Laporte and Ake.
Laporte’s passing ability to break the line of press and ability to switch to the rw, and Ake’s defending ability ( I rate Ake as our 2nd best defender behind Dias just purely based on defending and nothing else) he’s going to be more mobile than Laporte aswell.
Will never forget what Laporte did for us in that stretch 2 seasons ago with a fucked knee.
