No to Gvardiol and Colwill. Dias,Akanji,Stones,Ake are good enough. If we need cover we can use THB.

Disagree think we need 5 given how we use centre-backs as full-backs.

Then a proper left back then. We are good with the 4 senior centre backs we currently have (assuming Laporte leaves)

Never heard of him but what’s his style, 501,502,505..?

He's really good especially when he zips past...!

Also excellent in a high press (Trouser.")..‍

The reason Gvadiol is a standout is for his ability on the ball. Stones has been excellent slotting into the middle from CB and we've had players do it from full back, but Gvardiol is just tailor made to do that role for us. He'd do it even better than Stones because he's got a very good eye for an attacking pass.

Judging him from what I've seen, I don't recall him being anything special. I guess I just watched the games for Leipzig in which he didn't stand out. That's not to say he was bad or anything. He just didn't stand out and I didn't see this player some people are giddy over.

Not sure, but I wouldn't strauss over it.

TA lot will be giddy because of the price and the fact they like to play football manager. He's got all the attributes to be an excellent option for us both at LB or LCB and pushing into midfield. With Laporte leaving he's a very good versatile option to include. If you were up against quicker wingers and wanted a more traditional LB then I'd play Ake. If you wanted to push a LB into midfield or have a bit more thrust going forwards then Gvardiol would be the option. Or he could step out from CB into midfield.

I don't think Pep is likely to move too far away from the current system next time around. He'll have adaptations of it and other tricks up his sleeve but we're pretty dominant at the moment and it should see us in good stead for the first few months of the season before it needs evolving again.

On the button...;)

 

[chaddblue]

Think there's only a slim chance of getting him. If we can't agree a price we shouldn't stretch ourselves but should just cut-off negotiations and not waist our time

I do love the idea of pep buying and producing English players.

Let’s get Colwill over Gvardiol
If we can’t get Bellingham get Rice
Sign Maddison when Bernie goes

Stones/Foden/Grealish/Walker/Lewis/Palmer

Develop McAtee/Trafford etc.

Keep winning, watch everyones blood boil.
