Aymeric Laporte

[01cravend]

He's been sent off 5 times already in la liga and he's only 21...Record number of sending offs in the premier league is 8.

Who are the top 5 Centre back in the premier league ?

 

[capiloton]

i think Pep want to play 3 at the back, and 2 striker upfront. we will have many CB, but lack of winger - except sterling and navas.

---------- aguero -------- nacho
----------- silva ----------- KDB
---- clichy ------- dinho --- zabaleta
---- laporte ---- kompany -- otamendi

Cannot see Pep limiting his buys to one

Kompany, Otamendi. Mangala, Humphreys, Demichelis

Maybe I exaggerated with the last one :)

80m being quoted haha our signings or targets always include wages.

Pep's system is worth jack shit without wingers. That's not going to work.
Also he's not going to play with 5 defenders, especially not 3 true CBs.


---- Sterling - Agüero - De Bruyne ---
----------- Silva ------ Pogba -----------
----------------- Xhaka -----------------
Bernat --- Laporte - Kompany --- Aurier
------------------- Hart ---------------------

Aurier probably not, because of his dificult character. But he would be great for Pep since he can also play CB and could take a Alaba-esque role (CB-RB).
Bernat could be Pep's Lahm. Think he'd do well in a LB/CDM hybrid role.

80? Nah more than 40.

80? Nah more than 40.

His transfer will be 40m then 8m a year they say so they put the 2 together and report it as 80m.

Thought meant just transfer fee

Yeah won't come cheap that's for sure.
