He would not be coming here primarily as a centre back.

We don't need another CB that can play LB to solve our LB issue.
Signing Gvardiol for £80m+ as a LB is just kicking the can down the road - we'd end up playing him at CB soon enough because that's his best position (and probably because he won't be signing for a club that doesn't intend to predominantly utilise him as a CB).
If Gvardiol joins us it's because at least one of Ake or Laporte will leave.

If we let Ake go we are crazy. He is arguably our best defender this season (along with Stones). Can play left back effectively aswell. Very handy player to have in the squad. Its funny because most of the posts I read on BM suggest Eric and Dias are our best CBs but I'd always go for John and Ake when fit.We don't need another CB that can play LB to solve our LB issue.

Ake is a very good defender but hes miles behind laporte with the ball. Makes a big differenceIf we let Ake go we are crazy. He is arguably our best defender this season (along with Stones).

disagree completely, i think he is equally as good on the ball if not better than LaporteAke is a very good defender but hes miles behind laporte with the ball. Makes a big difference
I'll settle for almost as good. I think Laporte is better. But not Streets better.disagree completely, i think he is equally as good on the ball if not better than Laporte

Ake is substaintially More limited.I'll settle for almost as good. I think Laporte is better. But not Streets better.
Always simple no risk passes. Laporte has quité a range and can play through the lines.
Reseeved, not limited. Laporte is better, but the gap isn't as large as advertisedAke is substaintially More limited.
