Aymeric Laporte - 2018/19 performances

[FantasyIreland]

Better than Van Dijk , no question

He's on a par with VVD,but then so is John Stones IMO.

 

[Bpughh]

no offence to zaba, i'd say he is close to it, but imo, first and only other world class defender we've had since VK at his best. And tbh think he will be better than VK. In his own ways. Crazy he also missed last world cup

 

[BosnianBlue]

If we win the league he could actually get player of the year. Although it's voted early isn't it. Maybe if we were to get a lead in the next few weeks.

no chance. that's already done for van dick

 

[waspish]

Undropable like Fernandinho this lad.

 

[The Preacher]

So glad we persevered and signed this lad. Oozes class.

technically better yes I agree, and I think he is head and shoulders the best current CB in the league. However, surpassing Vin is unlikely for me imo. VK's physicality, stature, leadership and general feeling of assuredness make him a better defender than Laporte (if we compare VK's prime to Laporte's projected). In a pep team however, there is no denying that Laporte's ball playing lynchpin ability and ball playing quality ensures that he is the first name in the starting 11 backline (and for several years to come hopefully).

I love Vinny but if Laporte can stay fit enough to play 30+ league games a season for most of the next ten years then surpassing Kompany isn't out of the question. We could possibly win 1-2 UCLs, 3-4 Premier Leagues and several cups in that time.

 

[Segga]

Best defender in the league
