Don't go on international selections. They don't want Laporte to be sitting on the bench so he plays for the U-21. He is way way better than Sakho/Mangala. A lot of coaches like to stick with the players they trust from the beginning.I'll take him as Pep has obviously seen something great in him, but he's had a poor season and even our own Mangala is ahead of him in the French picking order. Wouldn't say he's any better than Otamendi, either.
