Josko Gvardiol

[Paul1970]

No chance! Also allows someone else to come in with a bid so with a shorter window etc this summer if we want players on the summer tour then we should offer realistic prices to start with

It’s abit low but did a start he is not an £100 million defender in fact he is far from it . I would say we will go to £80 million and not much more

Seen it mentioned a lot that £85m inc add ons is the number

Grealish is never a 100 million winger.Pretty sure City would pay 100 mil if Pep really badly wants him.

People said the same about Ruben bud

And Mangala ;-)

And Mangala ;-)

Pep didn’t sign him though ;)

His record is: Ruben, Ake, Akanji, Laporte, amongst others. Hard to question :)

I hope he likes a drink haha

We never even played against Dias.We have faced Gvardiol a few times.

Having a long-range pass from defence, like he can offer, is another weapon in the arsenal, and especially one that damages the high press that Inter offered - it would make teams think.

Laporte also has a great long range pass.
Not sure I get this transfer happening (next season) when we have a defence that’s just won the treble and are all in prime form?
Okay Laporte may well leave but not sure spending £80 million on a 4th or 5th choice CB is right?
Plus we need to cover if Bernardo/Ilkay leave and can’t be over reliant on KDB

With an additional £300M to bank I think we can afford it.

Pay it. The guys going to be the best Cb in the world. He's ridiculous for his age. 21 years of age, plays Cb but has the skills and passing of a creative midfielder, has the dribbling ability of winger as well

 

[Gumzy97]

No wonder Pep wants him. Gvardiol can play midfield if he wanted too. He's just an outstanding overall player.

Haaland made him look like Phil Jones in the 7-0

Haaland will make a lot of CBs look mediocre. He is just that good.

My main concern is buying a player who played well against us.

Strangely I feel the fact he had a bad game the scouting will have been more on point on the other games, as there will be an initial question mark based on how he performed against City.

 

[richards30]

Is that what we have offered then?

 

[Tony - MCFC]

No formal offer apparently yet.

It’ll all come down to Leipzig demands, per reports 100m Euros (£86m). Can’t see City going that high but imagine itll be around £75m, maybe with small add-ons.

£85m with add ons included maybe but really don’t think we will do £86m flat fee.

All are left footed and are quite good at bringing the ball out of defense, we do not need a CB even if Laporte leaves spending large sums on what we do not need is bad business, those who think Gvardiol can improve to be worth it, the question is where because he is not showing it now.

Phil Jones is one of the best players in Europe and the rags would be foolish to not sign him up for another five years.
