Aymeric Laporte

[typicalcity...]

Wow, looks like this really is moving quickly - I guess we’re not fucking about. Great stuff.

Imminently imminent? ;-)

City working intensely on Fred today too. What a time to be a City fan.

Happy times :)

What are “training rights?”

Training fees... I'm not sure at a guess that would go to Athletic Bilbao for bringing him through.

John Stones was having an excellent season before injury but now he could do with some competition.

He was one of the best players in the CL group stages & probably one of our trop three players before his injury. Just a complete brick wall all-around.

But 4 errors in 5 games is just shocking for any defender, let alone a defender in a team that’s competing on all fronts. Still has a couple of games to clean it up before big matches arive, here’s hoping we get first half of the season Stones back.

What are “training rights?”

Payments made for his very stylish casual attire.

Is the depth really that good? Benjamin Pavard, a 21 year old I’ve never even heard of was in the last squad and has two caps.

Even in a world where national team selection was based only on skill and not the manager's preference Umtiti, Varane, Koscielny, Kimpembe and Zouma (prior to his injury) are all strong competition.

The Rags are in denial on the CAF.

Double standards.
2nd most expensive centre half.
Are wages included?
City never go back after a snub.
Etc.
Arf!

Just popped over to rag cafe and they are gutted about us signing him :)

 

[Metalartin]

Haha those crazy rags, he didn't snub us for another club he just decided to stay where he was, maybe it was too soon for a big move for him? In which case it was probably quite sensible of him as it's sink or swim at the top level.
