You can tell from all his tweets, Instagram Posts over the last few months when he's really being out of favour how much the fella loves the club. Even though he's not in the 11 I'd say he still is a great head to have around the dressing room unlike a character like cancelo.

Really hope he stays around because he's being one hell of a player for us. If not I hope he's goes onto another club and shows how good he is.

I too would rather he stayed than we bought someone else but problem is he’s too good a player to go several seasons without more games - because he’s a top player and if that means he has to leave then good luck to him.

No, and who can blame him

Just think he's going to struggle to get regular football here now, and he's too good to be sat on our bench

I'd love him to stay but he's a Spanish International and would be the best centre half at 99% of clubs

Would love to see him stay, but think he's on his way

Gvardiol coming in means he is going out.

He'll have a great career in Spain,best wishes to him.
 
Thanks for last season's title run in Eric and the rest of your contributions while at City. Bit unfortunate that Akanji finally settled after a shaky start and he couldn't regain his place in the starting line up.
 
Laporte has always struck me as a complex character, one who is part of the team but always seems to me to be on the periphery of the group. Often wondered if that is maybe a consequence of his cultural background.

There’s a sad reality that we’re about to play in another Champions League final and only 16 players can get on the park, assuming Guardiola uses all 5 substitutes for once. If they’re all fit, including Ake, then we have 17, so someone is going to miss out, and Laporte sat on the bench when we played in Porto. Going to be a tough call.
 
Love the bloke personally. He’s been brilliant all year on social media with supporting the team, obviously never caused any trouble (or he’d have been out the door), put his body on the line at the back end of last season to push us over the line and has just been a brilliant player with us from day 1.

Too good to be a bit-part player (less than that this season) - hope he’s successful wherever he goes. Providing it’s abroad…
 
I think his preference would be to stay and play regularly. But he knows he won't, so he'll leave for regular game time. I can respect that.

I think Pep simply prefers defenders who are quick and good 1v1 in this new system, and Akanji and Ake excel at both. Laporte is better in the build-up. He has been a great servant. Wish him all the best.
