Aymeric Laporte

[CitizenTID]

Well this is awkward...

 

[Bill]

How often have you seen him play though? The premier league is totally different. I'm sure mangala and otamendi were decent in their respective leagues. Let's wait and see.

I have seen enough to know it would be a big loss. whilst I agree with your point about the prem we do know for a fact that both mangala and otti are fucking poor. we need 2 more cb's to make progress.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Instead of blaming all and sundry why not accept that some players don't want City for whatever reason

I understand that mate but at the end of the day all us fans see is another target we've invested time and energy in trying to get signed and couldnt close the deal...This shortly after hearing we've pulled out of Pogba race....is just disappointing!

 

[deano ou812]

Well if he has had a change of heart then so be it,better than a couple of months down the line and he gets homesick and wants out,just hope we can move on and get other deals done without any problems..

 

[Salfordian Blue]

Well this is awkward...

Ouch. Damn shame.
Hopefully the deal for Stones doesn't go tits up, too.

 

[Tron Coltrane]

Is it possible this is just to appease the fans, and that he will still come here for the original fee?

Hah... nothing fans love more than the ole "highly-publicized player paraded for his loyalty, re-signing a new contract, followed by the subsequent 'just kidding!' announcement and sale" maneuver.

 

[p.taker]

Well this is awkward...

But maybe, just maybe....

 

[The Northern Baptist]

Worrying that we can't attract a player from some no mark Spanish outfit like Bilbao even with Pep at the helm

Don't take it to heart

But not a criticism of you mate but 12 months ago we signed the player considered to be the best CB in Spain. I'm not sure that Laporte has even played for France. And I'm not having a go at Laporte as I've seen little of him, but I'm not worried. Fingers crossed for some better news soon
