Aymeric Laporte

[Easy]

This and Fred look like a brief from the club. All of a sudden every source imaginable are reporting the links.

Haven’t seen much of him but he makes much more sense than JFE.

Getting him and Fred means we don’t have to buy another LB.

Would a perfect window actually. We can then start working on an attacker that can play across the front 3 and we are set.

How do you pronounce his first name?

I mean, I know his song will undoubtedly be "Laportio" for whatever reason but still.

think it's

Em er rick la port

Pep must have a good relationship with Puyol. Certainly Puyol was happy enough to get Eric Garcia to City.

De la Pena is his former midfield partner as well.

If we get Fred and Laporte. i'll be overjoyed. 2 class players below the age of 25.

In the 2 positions we need reinforcements the most.

If this happens this window. What will we need in the summer? An alternative to Sanchez and either a back-up Cb or a back-up LB?

So 2 big signings at most? Not a bad place to be.

Puyol and de la Pena represent him.

I know its from 2016 but this report says he moved to Mendes, has he changed agents again then...

It's hard to picture a better window than Fred and laporte for addressing our needs

Good thing is Fred can play LB if need be so once Mendys back and if we keep Delph on we will have a young very versatile defensive collection with Laporte, Stones and potential returns of Maffeo and Angelino along with older heads like the Otter and Walker.

Another forward who can play all across the front and we will have a squad for the next couple of seasons to compete with the best

Yeah, it seems difficult to find out who the real agents are... I've just found this, from June, 2016:

Despite suggestions to the contrary, Laporte is not represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes or Barcelona legend Carlos Puyol and is instead working only with a lawyer as he addresses his future.

Would say we only 'need' an attacker and I use the word need very loosely. Quality throughout.
