Josko Gvardiol

[Gabriel]

If we sign Gvardiol, then I would imagine he, like Ake, will be used to play in both positions as and when required.

Always fascinated by the linguistic origins of names, I found this page on Gvardiol amusing. It’ll be like Play School, Big Pep and Little Pep!

Pep said full backs with the ability to get up & down the pitch, to attack & defend is an area that will be addressed in the summer. He said our current formations & tactics are because we lack these types of players.

We also lack those players because there is a dearth of them, particularly ones that can behave themselves. It’s probably easier finding King Solomon’s Mines than it is finding the kind of left back we seek.

They basically have the same full names, just in different languages

Josko and Pep both short forms of Josef/Josep (Joseph in English), and Gvardiol having the same origin as Guardiola.

Just need to track down a forward in Sale called Joey Guardhouse, to complete the set

Will fit that left side perfectly tbh (Stats for 2021 season)

The boy was 18/19 at the time too. Get him signed ASAP. Phenomenal piece of business.

Alpohonso Davies. Whether we can do a deal with Bayern is another matter.

It's also not lost on me that Real have today leaked their interest in Davies 24 hours before facing us. Could this be a message to City, "Stay away from Bellingham & we'll stay away from Davies"? \0/

The nearest name I can think of is Noel Gallagher

So basically we want someone who is young, good technically, has a good engine, quick, intelligent and doesn't give in to occasional urges to go around raping people, do drugs or engage in acts of violence?

As it went so silent i cant help thinking that the Gvardiol deal is all done to be honest.

Phil Jones has just pm’d you his cv.

Is there a clause where you have to be utterly gormless as well? ;)

Apparently he turned down an offer of a testimonial from manure! Wonder if they’ll give him another extended contract of around 3/4 years, they know it makes sense! He may still make it there!

Basically Nkunku (60m) and several smaller transfers and 1 of Szoboszlai, Gvardiol, Olmo. No big story really.

Whereas, SZ (Süddeutsche Zeitung) is Munich based and next weekend #1 Bayern play #3 Leipzig in a title race.

Same old, same old...

Leipzig dementiert: Keine Transfervorgaben durch die UEFA

RB Leipzig hat Medienberichte dementiert, wonach der Verein im Sommer Transfereinnahmen in dreistelliger Millionenhöhe nachweisen muss, um Financial-Fairplay-Vorgaben der UEFA nachzukommen.

RB Leipzig has denied media reports that the club will have to prove transfer income in the hundreds of millions in the summer in order to comply with UEFA's financial fair play requirements.

Gvardiol will be a €100m player in the market, unless there's some release clause it's unlikely we get him, plus I think Aké and Akanji being on the left, makes that seem a bit out of range too
