Aymeric Laporte

It was unexpected honestly, good luck to the lad then

One thing that always strikes that why our transfers are always so dramatic? Like Delph last summer, KDB dragging on... etc

Said it, his heart didn't want the move. He knew of our interest since March. Good player but we didn't miss out, he missed out. Good luck to him but we'll be more than fine. Next up, Stones.

I don't understand why so many think that Denayer wouldn't get any game time.. I honestly believe that the plan is to make him into an Right Back, and then play him there and learn from Sagna.

Stones and Denayer is more than enough on top of the current centre back options we have.

Money can be spent on a couple of full backs.

Respect for the player's loyalty to his club.

Just my opinion but we could have activated his release clause at any time...the longer you leave it the longer a young kid is going to start having doubts.....We signed Gundogan while he was injured, no reason to not have done the same with Laporte...he's been back running for nearly a month!...guess I'll calm down after typing this but feel we were slow, to slow in getting this deal done and its given his current club a window to get back into the race....

We don't pay the release clause, only the player can do that, so if we agreed to pay it , it would still be up to the player and he obviously wasn't sure, hence we gave him a deadline. Nothing to do with us being slow, we offered to pay his release a while ago.

New term:

In The Know Fuck All.

everyone post in good faith...you do realize these can change at the last minute ?

we have seen this a few times already...ofcourse unexpected , it reflects poorly on the Lad not us

 

[SA16]

Now we really need to get Stones

Wow, relax mate. He is only 22 years old. Don't forget he has a major injury, could understand if he wants to stay at his club. Not every player will want to play for city and that's okay.

Indeed. Watch loads will say he is shite anyways. Especially the ones that have never seen him play and got their brains turned by media reports.

Btw even with Pep we are still not one of the major attractions for players. But we move forward as we have been doing over the last 8 years.
