Aymeric Laporte

[Tron Coltrane]

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

Yeah, it's either that as a huge category or it's the act of one individual. We should have a witch hunt to find out!

Wonder how this changes our transfer plans? From what we know he was Pep's ideal left-sided defender? Our only left-sided CB is Mangala. And pep doesn't seem to rate him that much.

He's just given Everton a huge bargaining chip over stones.

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.

Heard exactly the same. Shit happens.

Heard exactly the same. Shit happens.

Far too often for Txiki sadly.

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

i'm just not having it that we let this slip through our fingers. city and pep will know that we need this player. I can see a big pay day for bilbao being the game here.

Don't take it to heart

;) apart from anything else I have even less confidence we'll sign Stones...and Mangala and Ota have just not shown they are a good enough partnership to win the prem with..(when Kompany injured) After trying to move Mangala out on loan last season, its clear he'll only still be here in Sept because we couldnt sign au upgrade over the summer...

 

[ShaunMcCallion1880]

Fair play the lad wants to stay but to leave the club in the dark like this lacks professionalism , cracking player but we move on

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

The fuck?!?

Was assured this was done and dusted

WTF happened?!

 

[Delphacito]

Fuck it let's go for Bonucci.
