Josko Gvardiol

The poor man’s Jim Baxter?

Heard about JB but never seen any footage.
JJ was a great player tho.

I don't think people realise just how good this player is.

Watching that i can see him being the left sided stones. Ready made to accompany rodri if stones is out.

watching some espn thing on youtube and gab marcotti just stated Gvardiol is better than all our current defenders in his opinion, Dias included. Big talk.

we are never ever going to relinquish possession. ever.

 

[how soon is now]

Does anyone think long term he could be Kev’s successor? Watching the video of his runs and passing from midfield.

Sort of get what your saying with his driving runs and precision eye of a needle through passes he does on that vid.
Don't know if he's got a missile of a shot on him like kev but with pep as his manager he could end up playing anywhere on the pitch looks like he's got the skillset.

Sort of but still while playing LCB. The way he breaks the lines and bursts forward is a thing of beauty, I can see him panicking a few defences this coming season which will play into our attackers hands. Any gamblers should look at putting money on him getting double digit assists with those passes. The Viking Meat Shield is going to love him.

There will be the odd (Ederson like) heart in mouth moments but it's going to be a hell of a ride again.

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.

Plus he has the best beard since Elton John’s wife

Good luck to any attackers. That defence has world class 1v1 defenders, defenders that can break a press and split midfields with their passing. The best DM in the world. Its a fortress. I just don't see a weakness

oh aye!

I'd say there's the slimmest chance. He's certainly got all the attributes to become a world class deep lying playmaker.

[Irlam Haaland]

Anyone who isn't really, really excited by this is wrong. It's that simple.

Some of those commenting negatively are going to look as stupid as they did in the Haaland transfer thread.

He is a special player.

He's an absolute unit of a player, I'm excited by this signing.
