Josko Gvardiol

If Gvardiol does come in, that'll be 6 CBs at the club. Ake, Akanji, Stones, Dias, Laporte and Gvardiol. That's at least one more than we'll need, barring some horrific speight of injuries. I'd assume Laporte will leave, even though the market seems very quiet re bidders for him.

Agreed, even considering it’s no longer 6 for 2 spots… Ake, Akanji, Gvardiol, Stones all set to play multiple/hybrid roles in what is a rock solid defence! Still, it does seem 1 too many and Laporte is the obvious choice. However, he is still world class and gets in most teams, so I assume the bids will come.

Ake and Akanji can play full back, Stones is now a midfielder.

They can all play CB, that was my point.

I’m not sure that last part is true… he’s been a revelation in the hybrid role, but I don’t see him being used solely as a midfielder. I’m sure he could do it, he can do whatever he wants it seems, but he’s still a defender and will be used that way for me.

I don't see how Laporte can spend another season the bench. Pau Torres and Inigo Martinez have got themselves big moves this summer and if they have good seasons then Laporte will be on the bench for Spain as well.

Are you going to stick around if/when we sign Gvardiol?

You bring good input to the forum.

Think he’ll be back at purestalkers.com tbf mate.

Ake is now a lb.

Stones is now a midfielder.

We need gvardiol just to make up the numbers again.
