Aymeric Laporte

[RayCTID]

I don't normally agree with Bill but yep Laporte would be more than welcome (better late than never)

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

We can't afford to rebuy.. price to rebuy currently is around £100 million quid

How about selling him to Melbourne City or New York City and then have him loaned back, that's a much cheaper option.

Wouldn't be a surprise to go back in for him, I think i read that Pep is insistent on having a left footer at left centre back hence the amount of games for Kolarov (who tbf has stepped up his performances) if not Laporte then Inigo Martinez is also another interesting option.

any keeper whatsoever.

A year from now you are going to look like a fool for blaming Bravo for the defense ahead of him. It is exactly a Laporte type signing (who is phenomenal) which will prove it.

Good to hear. He's an awesome player.

Is he really that good? How can we be sure we're not going to spend about £60 million on another Otamendi but without the beard?

Didn't Otamendi have the best defensive stats in La Liga, yet he seems to spend an inordinate amount of time sitting on his arse or diving in, and he's poor in the air. Is Laporte better than Vermaelen, Koscielny or as good as Terry in his prime? We need a centre back that good, no more Mangalas or Otamendis.

If signing Laporte means zero shots on net I'm sure we'll all be happy.

To be fair that is what we need to be aiming for with a 100% concede record

Why is that then.? Is laporte going to stand on the line with him?

Omg Have you seen the lad play? He is a terrific player. To me he's the Aguero of defenders.he is better already than all the players you list.
