Aymeric Laporte

[tolmie's hairdoo]

You're sounding like the Manure media, didn't want him anyway.

What City want and want I want aren't mutually exclusive.

Never seen more than five minutes footage of Laporte, just plenty of people saying what a prospect he is.

How can I miss what I didn't know what we were getting.

I'm sure City are pissed at the level of time wasted but shit happens and we now have an extra £40m to throw at Alaba!!

Because we haven't spent a lot of money on raw youngs before? Club seems somewhat embarrassed and are briefing media to hide it IMO.

Looks that way, yep. Ric even said that we were preparing for his announcement,

Not doubting you but funny how the media are leaking "we didn't want him anyway" stories. If it was Manure we'd be pissing our sides.

And not a flying fuck was given that day.

Don't know enough about him, plenty saying he is the real deal.

Always seemed overkill to me wanting him AND Stones.

At least Stones is homegrown and used to the Premier League.

Fair play to Laporte if he wants to remain loyal, regardless of a pay rise.

As far as I'm concerned, it's £40m we can spend elsewhere, hopefully on a proper left back!!

Yeah. But Stones is the right-sided defender and Laporte was the left-sided Pep wanted. So the question is.....who is the left-sided defender he now wants? A LB and give Mangala another chance?

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

Can't help it if a player changes his mind right at the death. They post info
in good faith, info we'd all love to have if we could. One of those things. Without people posting on here the close season would be tedious in the extreme!

 

[cookster]

Wonder if that does make that 65m for Aubameyang more achievable though.



Seriously? How much more can Txiki do?

The kid is willingly turning down football at the highest level, trophies, success, Pep Guardiola and double the money to stick around at Bilbao. That's it.

Well he could have brought it home, he's a closer that's his job. The cards were stacked in our favour big time but now we leak "we didn't want him" FFS

Oh, absolutely.

We don't do ourselves any favours and some in the media need to stop doing City's spin shite.

He didn't sign.. Big deal... We have the best manager in the world who has probably a dossier on about 3 or 4 alternatives..
Bonnuci being one.
The euros have only just started and we've already bagged gundogan.

 

[BlueDejong]

Left back ? What the..

From the "leaks" Iv read, city aren't overly bothered seems the stance. Implying that the deal was offered and if excepted would of been good, but it wasn't and city ain't going to loose sleep.
