I don't think there's anything in this. Doesn't look like he's even a starter at RB Leipzig.

Gvardiol looks a very interesting CB option.Lazy link most likely. He hasn't been all that impressive for Leipzig. The only players we should be interested in are Nkunku and Gvardiol.
OK but he's Innocent until proven guilty. But good spot @golden_blunderBissouma. Not going anywhere until proven innocent. I wish people would stop suggesting him
Wasn’t having a go at you by the way. Just it’s a name thrown out there a lot and it amazes me how many don’t know or have forgottenOK but he's Innocent until proven guilty. But good spot @golden_blunder
No worries mate. I respect your views and you can have a go anytime. @golden_blunderWasn’t having a go at you by the way. Just it’s a name thrown out there a lot and it amazes me how many don’t know or have forgotten

I think if what you're saying does transpire (I hope it does), then signing a young up and coming CB with high potential would be the way to go imo. Gvardiol looks to fit the profile of CB, who is comfortable playing in different phases of play, both physically and technically, and would be a excellent choice from the evidence at hand.Considering that Bailly seems to want out, Tuanzebe might be on his way as well and we shouldn't really bank on Jones, I'd say we'll need a new CB sooner than later.

And if I'm to put my DoF hat on and make a bold claim, I'd be hopeful of seeing a Gvardiol - Willy Kambwala, CB pairing in the next 3 to 4 years. I could obviously be wrong, but I think if Kambwala can catch a break from injuries, then he has a real chance of making it. He has the physical and technical attributes in abundance to become a real stalwart in both a high line or a more Conservative measured approach.
Mengi's a good player and ticks quite a few boxes as far as helping us transition to play a more proactive game. But I don't believe he's as good as someone like Gvardiol, especially on the ball.Agreed.
I don't really follow the reserves/academy anymore, but hopefully you are right. How is Mengi coming along? Wasn't he hightly rated?
