Pep clearly thinks Laporte is better on the ball - that’s critically important to him. Personally I think VVD is good but I honestly don’t think he’s great and his attitude isn’t the best either. Time will tell if he’s as good as Klopp clearly thinks he is and if Laporte can do what Pep wants him to do.
The key for Pep is that Laporte is left footed.
 
I’m somewhat surprised we didn’t challenge Liverpool for Van Dijk’s signature if it’s true we are willing to meet Laporte’s £57m release clause.

Aside from snippets on youtube, has anyone on here seen him play?

Yes.

He's quite good.
 
Thanks to you both for clarifying the post earlier. What you say makes sense. Which the tweet didn't.
 
Wish you'd not said 'quite'

He reminds me a lot of Stones. The first thing that always remember about him is that somebody once pointed out that he has an odd stride length when running. I don't know if that's even true but it's always the first thing that comes to mind. Giggs level of one footed makes him a bit predictable on the ball at time. Got a mistake in him though Otamendi type mistakes than Mangala type mistakes. Decent sized lad but doesn't use it properly, wouldn't fancy him against a big bruiser.

He's good though, reads counter attacks well, nice left foot, likes a tackle. Got the Boateng long ball and those little dinks when carrying the ball in him. He's more of a work in progress than what I'd call the finished product but he only needs the odd screw tightening. Pep will make him world class, don't worry. He obviously fancies him and there will be good reasons for that.
