Josko Gvardiol

[Academica]

Actually a little disappointed we never closed this yesterday for a 6 year deal, seems a huge missed opportunity!

We could get him tomorrow on a 6 year deal.

Wasn't it at the presentation of the PL trophy against Chelsea that Laporte was crying at the end? Surely there could be no clearer sign that he expects to leave? (And maybe doesn't particularly want to). I think he's a class player, incidentally. But we've never — in the history of the club — been so well stocked across the back. That's maybe his misfortune.

Yep a great player but clearly down the pecking order now,a shame but life goes on

The FFP Leipzig stuff for 30/6 was bs. Source was shite, it’s crazy how many have jumped on that as fact.
The classic line a few use “reported…” , but where was it reported : )

Laporte, Dias, Mendy, Walker, Cancelo, Stones, Ake?

We have spent a lot on defenders, but we haven't gone above 65m for any of them individually.

We won't go above 80m for Gvardiol I don't think.

I can see Leipzig push us for 90m at least which we definitely won't go to.

Jack Gaughan is a reporter for the Daily Mail and it appears he’s one of reporters City usually speaks to about all kinda of stuff in the media.

Always gets his stuff spot on.

That’s great info thanks. I can get excited then!

How come?

Because they will charge a kings ransom for him just like Napoli did with Koulibaly.

I just think we will spend a few months haggling over the fee and eventually we will walk away from the deal.

Hope I'm wrong, but I just think that's how we do things. We stick to a transfer strategy and won't overpay unless a player has a release clause and the club say they won't sell him for less than the release clause (such as Grealish).

You answered a question not asked

No we can’t, the longest contract he could get is 5 years now due to new UEFA rules

Erm chelsea just gave one of their players they’ve just signed an 8 year contract
