Who’s gone in the summer?

[Ric]

Laporte plays at a much higher level than Ake, who to date has hardly kicked a ball in the Champions League..He wants to go as he’s fallen behind a player who isn’t fit too lace his boots...

Laporte hasn’t fallen behind Ake.

 

[Sam1980]

Obviously but once the valuation is met we should let him go with our thanks. He hasn’t looked right since Dias joined.

I think pep blamed him for the 1st goal v Spurs away last year since then stones has taken his chance and Laporte hasn’t got a look in. 1st bad run/challenge he has and he wants out. Not to good that really

He wants to go because we have Dias & John has just signed a new deal. He is not up to the fight it seems. First sign of competition and he throws the toys out.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Impossible to have 3 top centre halves at mid 20s, all want to play and someone’s got to be left out

I'll never understand why we don't play a back four of Laporte, Dias, Stones and Walker :(

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Oh dear...

Not really mendys a waste of space cancello can cover walker and zinch.
Foden , grealish can play wide as can sterling palmer and now edoze.kdb , gundogan attacking mids.

 

[citymad]

Exactly keep laporte
Sell ake
Sell mendy
Keep bernarndo
Sell mahrez or sterling .
Squad wud be stronger

Spot on. Put that in an email to the club and tell them to do it asap, only make sure you spell would correctly.

Funny really when you think about it. John was gone by all accounts but pulled it around at the death. Dias was transferred to replace John but ends up replacing Laporte.

Agreed be very strong

Disgusting, 60 Mill is ridiculous.If slabhead is worth 80 then Laporte is easily 90M+. Eric is world class and I'm gutted he might be leaving especially if it's just some cash to get "crock" Kane.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

well this is a shift, maybe we can't flog Bernie and need to sell someone. Shame.

 

[I'm Blue]

So if I got this right we get underpaid for Laporte so we can massively overpay for Kane.
Great.

Squad balance. We can’t keep them all happy and we need a goal scorer more than an unhappy defender.

problem we have is anyone who would want our players have no money. Bernie and Laporte both want moves to spain but no one there has any money. You'd think real madrid would be trying to laporte having sold two centre backs but it seems they have some money set aside for mbappe and thats it.

Great.

We need kane and laporte is too good to be a squad player.

 

[worsleyweb]

I don’t think he is as good as we made out at first. 60m seems ok.

It’s been like that since the take over

 

[richards30]

A shame but it seems Laporte hasn’t hit the balls to fight for his place! Wonder if we will replace him if he goes?

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Disappointed with Laporte. Had hoped he'd give it his all to try and win his place back this season. Seems like he doesn't have the fight for it which is a shame. Great player and will be sorry to see him go, but if he doesn't want to be here, there's no point keeping an unhappy player.

 

[Sam1980]

It’s in him to be a top player but if he doesn’t get his own way he sulks one of the reasons he plays for Spain and not France

Only for crap players that we don’t want.
