Sentiment doesn’t bring home the bacon. Is he worth £13m a year to us?

How old is Laporte. Could do with a fit and prime Laporte back in Stones' place.

He's ancient compared to Stones...a whole day older!How old is Laporte. Could do with a fit and prime Laporte back in Stones' place.
I think the main reason he's playing out in Arabia is the fact his knee is shot, not sure he's up to the pace of the premier league so wouldn't solve muchHow old is Laporte. Could do with a fit and prime Laporte back in Stones' place.
He was a great player, long time since he's been fit and in great form and sadly we may never get to see either again.I’ve just got to stop getting wound up about what others think of the poor lad. I know he’s the best and it’s not his fault he’s injured. :-)

Needs to go. I hate to use him as an example but we need a player like that VD guy with the dippers. Someone you can rely on for more than half of the season, Stones doesn’t even give us half a season anymore.
There was a media report that we were going to make a contract extension offer, this has to be some sort of sick joke?Needs to go.

He has no choice , we have had an injury crisis for a couple of months and are down to the bare bones . It is normal for our team to want to play if they possibly can and it is not our players who play carrying injuriesPep has openly admitted he's picking people who aren't 100% fit. No medical team is going to suggest anything other than not playing if they're not 100% so yes that'd precisely what I believe, because pep has said that's the case.
You seem to want to blow this up to be a scandalous thing to do, it's not all that uncommon, players play when not fully fit regularly, Laporte played through genuine injury in the title run in a few seasons back.

I'm not sure he is 'handy to have around'.The answer is who would buy Stones with his current issues? Although it is £13m on the accounts he still a handy player to have around. Still need that depth. Same with Ake to another extent too
When was the last time he played a full match?
