Josko Gvardiol

I hope we do spend 115m on him (provided we get our other business done first) just to shove it in other fans faces that the charges don’t mean anything to us and it’s full steam ahead.

Gvardiol had his moments like that in the first leg.

He’s an incredible player. Technically brilliant, a proper 1v1 defender and bags of pace. The only reason not to sign him is that the price is too high especially when we have Nathan Aké taking care of business in his position and other positions to take care off.

Let’s get him for £75m when the release clause kicks in 2024.

I suppose it depends on whether Pep and Laporte want to work together next season, which I doubt tbh.

Haaland single handedly made Gvardiol affordable

Didn't our defenders make Haaland look average when we played them?

He had a couple of moments, like how he won a challenge vs Dias like it was nothing, but I don't remember him being anything like world's best young striker vs us.

I haven’t seen any evidence of this. Quite the contrary in fact.

You haven’t watched him much then, he’s rapid.

I never put too much faith in the speedometer readings but his fastest recorded speed is about the same as Van Dijk’s.

Laporte not even getting a sniff last night, gotta indicate this is on however much we can nitpick his game.

True, I haven’t. I’ll have to take your word for it. I still think his reported fee is bordering on ludicrous though.

Yes it’s about 30m higher than what I thought he’d cost.
