Aymeric Laporte

But all the ITK's said its done deal and could be announced this week.

Did anyone of them say that he signed a contract?

Shit happens and the guys who are itk were caught cold by the news.

Anderson's comments dont make sense....we will have to pay 40mil+ for stones???

In some ways this may well get our recruitment team to up their game. It's not easy signing any player at the level we require, but I do think we need to look at closing deals quicker. Hopefully we may see a deal soon of a player no-one thought about or mentioned- now that would be a tonic.

What a stupid excuse. Considering that we want Stones and he will probably cost just as much if not more. :)

Troll elsewhere or unlike Laporte, I won't change my mind about removing you from the thread.

Not getting Laporte and now City want Toure to stay for next season.. This day is weird!

Football intelligence and general intelligence aren't the same thing....

I don't think that's immediately clear when saying that a person needs to get a brain. But I think a lot of the former is coaching... some bad defensive coaching in the past two seasons, and some inevitably good defensive coaching shortly. Hopefully a Martinez-like session will undo some bad decision-making tendencies.

Not sure it will ever make him a first team player in Pep's side, for technical reasons. But I don't have any doubt that he couldn't make him into a good defender.

Unless he signed to get s big payout for Bilbao then the facts are he's decided to stay at a mid table Spanish club rather than sign for Pep and City!

Txiki is doing a great job of selling the dream ticket....................
