People thought the same about Richard Dunne because he was a big lump too, but he was a lot quicker than people thought & vastly underrated.He is QUICKER than Otamendi for sure. People just like to.make things up. He is big, so they think he is slow. :(
Now here is a fair assessment. If it's the price (which sounds excessive, then I understand) but he is certainly a good player.
He plays on the left because he’s more comfortable there but there’s nothing stopping him playing on the right (he is right footed), Otamendi plays on both and usually plays on the left when Laporte isn’t playing it’s not like it’s an entirely different position and I’m sure he’s played on the right beforeAs he plays on the left side of the centre backs, there is no way that he’s better than Laporte. Spoken with some LCFC fans who live locally to me who rate him but stress he hardly ever goes over to the right side which is where we want a replacement. Now unless Pep does his magic and gets another left footed player playing on the right hand side I can’t see us going after him.

If Blackburn says Leicester want £90m then it’s true. Hope we walk away if that’s the case, he’s only worth half of that at best.
Be interesting to see what other names pop up over the next few weeks.
