Aymeric Laporte

your in denial aren't you

Not at all. Personally I see fullback as the area we need to strengthen first. It's looking like we may land Stones so did we really need both in and laporte

I will just say that I'm not 100% sure that this is over. They don't normally anounce the buyout clause as prominently as that with Spanish contract renegotiations.
Remember Txiki is a Basque himself.

The CityTV team had been working on graphics and editing footage in preparation for the announcement, so it's fair to say the club have been caught off-guard by this.

Thanks for clarifying Ric.

because the lady is merely clearing her throat.

65million Euros, whats that in £'s ?

 

[Kompany is King]

Looks like a no then unless Bilbao wanted more money?

Who cares about CB's anyway, buy a striker or a attacking midfielder or something fun.

Looks like a move to get maximum payday for Bilbao. I say its still on.

I honestly couldn't give a flying one. He has been nothing, done nothing and not even had a cap for France yet. Its his loss and not ours, move on to the next target.

If I were city, I would go all out for Pogba now, blow your full budget on players that are worth it and not just players like Laporte who are all potential and nothing else to show for it. I am sure we can find the odd gem here and there at CB for a much cheaper price as Spurs did with alderweireld and Bayern did with Kimmich. Rather spend huge on midfielders and attackers that are worth it.

What a fucking Laporte.
