I said in the transfer thread why are we paying so much and letting Laporte go. Not going to dig him out in his first season but he's going to have to improve pretty quickly soI don’t know how he will turn out in the long run. What I do know, is that right now, we have paid £40m+ to replace Laporte with someone worse than him. He looks slow, cumbersome and most worryingly…soft. I thought we were getting a beast of a defender, dare I say it…in the mould of someone like Vidic. Couldn’t have been more wrong.
