Josko Gvardiol

[manimanc]

Get it paid before the Saudis buy him

When did utd get linked with him??

 

[Fordyboy46]

Im itk and I heard the gap in the deal between both parties is closing, though RB dont feel they need to necessarily sell Gvardiol right now but City are pressing ahead. Expect an announcement some time this week. Or next

Or possibly the week after

Ha ha ha. “I’m ITK”. And here is a load of generalised, anybody could write, non-specific nothingness to prove it...
I’ll rewrite that, as I really am ITK:
“The clubs aren’t a million miles apart on this. Leipzig would like to keep him and have given City what they consider is a fair asking price. City have offered very close to this and feel it’s an offer that will be accepted, possibly within the next 14 days, but maybe 21 days. The player 100% wants City. None of this is incumbent upon any other transfers. Dialogue between the DF at Leipzig and Tiki has been polite throughout and both parties think an amiable solution will be found very shortly. Pep has simply said he’d like the player “with the squad as soon as we can make it happen” but knows it may be end August. Gvardiol’s house in Germany is still up for sale but local schools in Cheshire have been alerted to possible arrival of his daughter in September “

I liked him too mate, what he lacked in skills he made up in power and effort, he was like a tank.

I remember at Wembley for the Centenary Cup Final there was a banner claiming that Nicky Reid COULD eat 3 Shredded Wheat.
The TV advert at the time claiming NO-ONE could eat 3.
I remember him running something like 70 yards to chase a ball that was going into the Spurs corner and there was only something like 6/7 minutes left and every fucker was puffing and panting.
Not our Nicky ... heart of a lion who never gave up.Brilliant City player and would go through a wall for us.

He‘ll be a blue by the end of the week imo, as Tixi won’t want another main target escaping. I’m now ITK as I’ve had a very large whisky………

I have also had a very large whiskey. However, I have experienced no such enlightenment. I will have to hope you are right, or Laporte stays..

I really cannot follow your logic…. a) the appointment of Pep was undertaken as part of a wider recruitment strategy to bring in the core elements of a hugely successful leadership team from Barcelona. As others have said all appointments are a risk but in the scheme of things this was a well thought through strategy and really was not a gamble - it was hiring people with a proven track record of success. b) there is nothing in our owners wider business dealings to suggest he is a chancer, his investments are prudent, considered and generally very successful, so what makes you think he will dispense with that strategy when it comes time to replace Pep. There isn’t another Pep out there but they’ll hire the best available and give that person all the necessary tools to do their job.

You‘d think after Swales and Halford we’d appreciate what we have and recognise that some of the best business brains on the planet are the stewards of our fantastic club.

Bernard was a top bloke and City through and through. Times have changed.. The new board and very bright guys but not fans.. BH was.. Great guy..

I hope the 80-100m will be spent somewhere else

We already have the best CBs collection in the world

Cheers for the update, keep us briefed.

I think Pep sees him more of a midfielder.

Yep thought Nicky Reid was a super player.
