Aymeric Laporte

[blue b4 the moon]

It's a yes from me, strikes me with him being young and showing loyalty to his previous manager he could be the one who gets a second chance with us.

Just hope he's mentally strong enough...

 

[Easy]

This move would make a lot of sense.

Excited to here it could happen soon.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Would tick all the boxes for need and fit and his release clause(around 53mil?) is good value in a window where VVD went for 75....hope this is true!!

Yeh i believe this was the 2016 summer window. We signed Stones a few weeks later. He only changed his mind because he got cold feet and as we all know City only want players that 100% want to be here thats why im a bit skeptical about him coming here, its an easy BS link for journalists because

1) we need a CB

2) We need a left footed CB

3) we need a long time pairing with stones who is a right footed CB

4) Its a link from the past so its easy to be "believable"

Ill wait for someone like Mullock, Blackburn, Sam Lee or Simon Stone to start reporting it.

Simon Stone? He’s the odd one out in that list. In fact that turd is an odd one full stop.

 

[City_Sean]

He ticks the boxes and fits our profile but I just never expected us to back in for him after what happened last time.

Great to hear...hopefully it happens

 

[aguero93:20]

Can't see this happening.

[razman]

Here's hoping he signs ..thanks to vvd transfer , the fee doesn't look big

 

[MarsLlama]

Can't see this happening.

Me neither. But then I'm always pessimistic about January deals.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

so Pep does give second chances after all...

 

[nmc]

There seems to be just the one source to this story - which might be true. Lots of other news agencies reporting it but quoting the original source. For this to have legs another reasonable source needs to confirm our interest. WBA will be shitting it they were looking to take us to the cleaners to fund their January transfer spending.

if you are nice !

Nothing to do with January, just think he's really pissed off our management. Shame really and I hope I'm wrong because I'd love him here.

If it’s in the club’s best interest I am sure he does? When has he said otherwise?

 

[Manc in London]

Too left field not to be true.

 

[aguero93:20]

Too left field not to be true.

How is it left field? Every dog in the street knows that we're looking for a centre half and that we were close to signing him 18 months ago.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Does anyone know if he can play LB as well?

 

[sky_blue]

If we're really in for him, then there should be more reliable sources reporting this in the coming days. If not, then file it in the bullshit cabinet.
