Hi ed001
With Virgil approaching the tailend of his career with us, would Gvardiol be a realistic option as his replacement given that he has 2 years remaining in his contract with city? Wont be cheap, but would be a superb replacement imo, used to the league and a Liverpool fan as well. What are your thoughts on him ed?
{Ed001's Note - I don't see him as an option.}

I don't think Gvardiol has been the player he was mooted to be. He's decent but not set the world alight. So much so that he has mainly played as a left back for City.

Gvardiol would be a good signing for me. We were interested in him before he went to Citeh. I'd be happy with him.

Gvardiol is a top CB. I think Pep playing him stupidly at LB for that long hurt his progression, cos the kid is super talented.
I would jump all over him were he to be available, cos in addition to his ability, he is a staunch Liverpool fan and would join us in a heartbeat.

City would resist a sale to us unless we paid way over the odds, I would think. We're direct title rivals.
