Aymeric Laporte

We could still have a battle to get Stones yet can imagine Everton being hard on any deal!

How about we have taken a look at his medical results/scenario from his injury and walked away at the price given and moved on to other targets hence his sudden loyalty?

Ric said its a surprise to city mate.

But don't City usually brief the press if that would be the case? Ric just said that it seems he changed his mind at last minute.

Out of all the transfers that could've potentially fizzled out, this is the one im least bothered by. I was never keen on getting 2 new CB's when we have Kompany, Otamendi, Mangala (who might now have a chance) and Denayer in the wings. Bring Stones in, give Denayer his chance. We have a wealth of CB's at the moment, especially if we pull the trigger on Stones, Laporte clearly didn't have the mentality; He's not going to win anything with Bilbao.

I was concerned about buying another injured player who we couldn't put through a strict medical - he wasn't cheap

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.

Cheers mate....This is just a very frustrating one to miss....He would have been a big upgrade on what we have and would have fit pep's system perfectly.....It is possible we does misread the signs? This is the 2nd year we tried to sign him?.....Hoping for some good transfer news soon....No Pogba, No Laporte wasnt what I was expecting for the start of the transfer window!;)

is there anything you like about this club?

 

[mcfcstu]

looking like we are going to end up buying a lot of 2nd choice players this pre season, not what we need right now this has cost us in the past. To get the best we need to start paying the best.

What a loyalty.....

Yeah. Let's blame him - you have the evidence to support this theory??
