Josko Gvardiol

[not my fault!]

At least we know West Ham have £105m to spend… So West Ham, we’d like £30m please paid over the next 18 months, cheers. Lol.

Very quickly? How long has this deal been worked on?

Exactly my point.
Even when final agreement reached the detail of that compromise must be entered and agreed by both the parties to ensure the final version is exactly what was meant.
In other sectors this can take time, what is the football sector experience?

We could have used Borges in a Rice deal. Oh well. Moving on

If the latest rumours are anywhere close to true then just over the €100mill mark with all add-ons activated.

In the posted article of the Leipzig journo it was stated the basic amount will be below €100m.

Yesterday evening, it was pretty much done and dusted. Now, it's "not close"?

Don’t understand the flapping Romano is never ever ever wrong. He’s seldom first but his entire reputation is that if he says it’s done it’s done. There are reasons for the club to deny right now I’m sure but it’s very clearly done

Fabrizio said West Ham and city have reached a verbal agreement for 14m. That is more than West Ham being a front runner. It is the same as saying city and Leipzig have reached a agreement on a fee for Gvardiol. Im not saying minay is not trustworthy and as you suggest it’s likely he is just relaying a club message. However- the fact that Fabrizio has the detail on the borges deal and JWE rather than just a suggest of interest from those clubs would suggest that his info on the Gvardiol deal is solid also.

It doesn't suggest his information is solid, it only suggests he has been given the information for one purpose or another.

Not sure of his business model tbf, Does he pay agents for information? Or is he just a useful, ahem, tool for the agents?

It’s more likely that agents would pay him than the other way around
His insane following has granted him an insane amount of sources. Sources usually share stuff with an interest in mind

Did he not claim last year Cucurella to us was done, only for the club to deny it?

Also repeatedly claimed Messi was staying at Barcelona and extending his contract.

He had several tweets about it being close and advancing, but he never did the typical “here we go” tweet, which is seen as a “done deal” moment.
