Aymeric Laporte

No, and I admit I may be completely wrong here, but its his tackling. The rashness of it, his instinct to go to it almost as a first resort. It seems very un-Pep. It seems that it is part of his DNA, not something that he has learned. Like I said I could be wrong.

Does Otamendi lack the ability to be coached? Coz it seems you have different standards for judging the 2.

Otamendi will stay and likely be moved into midfield

Nico/g-unit for life. Ty for this.

What?? I would be staggered to see this, not even sure he passes well enough to be a Pep defender never mind a midfielder

He is a Basque. It is purely self preservation.

Yep. Nobody wants a bomb in their sandwich.

You don't rate intense tackling, ball winning, high work rate defenders, that are also an aerial threat? I guess if you aren't a 10/10 passer you can't wear the shirt for a pep squad...

It was just my opinion of what Pep would want, but Ota would not get close to a midfield for me

Touche, touche. It's totally objective really. Who knows. We're all blue people and it'll be a blast going forward anyway :).
