I don't get the Laporte hate at all.

When he's fit, he's literally amazing!

Shiny new toy syndrome. Wait until there's a tenous link with an up and coming right footed centre half and they'll want Stones or Dias gone.

Laporte hate is annoying considering the fact that he is currently one of the best centre backs in the world. His only issue is that he makes bad errors

I still can't fathom how we have won anything, since everybody else has better players than us lol .....the amount of planks who wanted the fat useless lump Lukaku start of last season, they're probably fawning over other bang average over hyped crap this season ;)

You've just not seen enough of Gvardiol. He fucking incredible.

Laporte is great and, as I said earlier, I'd be more than happy to stick with the options we have but if any of them leave then Gvardiol would be an improvement.

Might not be a popular thing to say on a City forum but there are players out there who are better than what we have.

Think you'll find it's quite a popular thing to say on here, that there are so many 'better' players out there, it's a miracle we don't get relegated!
Two points....firstly, it's a TEAM game.
Secondly, lot's of players stand out in weaker sides, certainly doesn't make them the world beaters the fifa brigade and media make them out to be (we have a great example at city).
Not aimed at Gvardiol, but he's young, and may or may not be as great as you think.
 
As City don’t really play with two conventional fullbacks and two centre backs, the players all have to be flexible and switch between positions, I would say only Dias is a centre back and nothing else. So with this in mind the way I look at it is we have 7 senior players for 4 positions in the team, I’m not counting Gomez or Lewis as senior yet. Not overkill by any means as some might imagine.

Going into next season Dias will be 26 but the other 6 players will be be between 33 and 28, so I can understand why the club might want to bring the age profile down. I’m not saying we should go and splash fortunes on this kid, or force anybody out who doesn’t want to leave as they are all fantastic players, who have done so much for us, but City do need to keep an eye on who to refresh this area with in the not too distant future.

He is. You'll see it soon enough. It's no slight on our players.

Laporte imo is behind the others

Ake miles better this year, Gvardiol is left footed so won't miss him

Laporte turns in quick sand & is the slowest of the 4 imo

Laporte wants out back to Spain if you listen to those in the no

Thanks Laporte you have done ok but time for the young Liepzig kid to come in

Yeah for me it's that Laporte likely wants to go back to Spain AND that he is the least capable playing out wide if we shift to a back 3 because of his pace.

I'm more comfortable with Ake or Gvardiol in a wider role.

Gvardiol also solves our LB problem, wherein we can just play him and Ake as LB and have it completely interpreted in a defensive role like Walker on the right.
 
Laporte injured, prob another reason they are linked with this lad
 
Nah, now theres another reason to get him. Double tears.
