Omar Marmoush

Gvardiol will be fine once we get a defensive mid sorted and a right back.because he marauding forward it leaves gaps on his side.Hence why ake is now playing there.
Ake is the most football inteligent CB we have and also has a good passing range, Stones a close second.

That is why when 100% fit both tend to get a run either at CB of LB/RB, Ake is there on merit and at present a better choice than Gvardiol.

It cpuld be said play Ake at LB and Gvardiol at CB to get Gvardiol settled as a ever present in that role, Pep opted to do the reverse.
 
In an ideal world, we get the defensive reinforcements first, then the attacking ones.

But I also dont think signing Marmoush derails any plans for signing a defender, the funds are there.

Its whether City agree with the deals offered, we wont overpay for anyone.

Marmoush for 60m, sure, and maybe haggle and get for 70m.

But if we drop out of the race for a young CB for 20m, and they ask for 40m (double) City will walk away and it has nothing to do with the Marmoush deal.
 
I agree on all but would say Gvardiols several fuck ups have been when he comes into a central position with no Ake available supporting him, maybe due to being played wider he has'nt setttled into our CB role, but at present Ake and Dias when fit are a better option.

long term we need a real LB and Gravdiol given the oportunity to mke LCB his though

At LB he has also been effective with goals and in attack.
I think his fuck ups have something to do that he has to play every game since he is our onl defender who is fit until now. Probably needs like 2 games in a row on the bench and will be free to play again. It’s not like he saved us at the start of the season.

Agreed he has done a valient job like berny putting in am endless shift for us and been our most consistant defender this season

doesn't excuse the cup final though last year ;-)

Recently, his penchant for error-strewn play has been a major problem for us. I fully agree that we desperately need dedicated fullbacks on both sides.

Yes, but he and Rico seem to have been the only defenders not playing through injuries. I think Josko might defend better if he could concentrate on establishing himself as a central defender.
