Aymeric Laporte

[Phil1]

Some of our fanbase have got a right cheek having a go at a player who wants to remain at his club. Just because we come calling doesn't mean that a deal is in the bag. It's arrogance personified to think that way and even worse to have a go at a club who choose to run their club as they see fit.
As much as we like to think it, we aren't the be all and end all to the vast majority of footballers out there.

If we miss out on our first choice targets then we have to hope that the men being paid the big bucks have a plan B,C and D to fall back on. If not then we can all throw hissy fits but seeing as the transfer window hasn't even fucking opened yet I think some are going off a little premature.

The annoying part is some of us feel we've been fucked about and this basque mindset was always forefront and we've been played a fool. There isn't any resentment for loyalty or love for boyhood clubs. The frustrating point is we've been played for assholes. You don't see any rage at Pogba or Messi or anyone else.

Totally agree mate, some on here think that just because Pep is now manager that every single talented player in the World will want to come to City-its rag type arrogance.

He's shit anyway.

Well said mate.

I'm quite pleased about this. It doesn't feel like summer until we can be 'snubbed' by a player, we may or may not have made an official bid for and the player in question does nothing other than signs a contract extension with his current club. Snubbed indeed..........

Players are human mate. He could genuinely have been wanting to come to us at some point of the discussions but until pen is put to paper all sorts of things can happen to change a players mind.

Hats off to Laporte.
Loyalty is a rare gift in football.
Wish him a full recovery from that horrific injury.

We need players who are mentally up for it, Gundogan obviously is.Stones will be and will be a transformed player under a Pep.

Some incredibly rawkish behaviour on here
