Aymeric Laporte

[George Hannah]

lol he'd be sent off in the first 10 minutes. He does not have the discipline to be a midfielder. He can't stay on his feet at the back never mind in midfield.

lawnmower man lol

If we sign him and Stones then both Otty and Mangala need to go. Kompany and Denny will be fine.

Not that I'd sign Stones, if only because we know Everton will end up screwing £60 mill out of us and I hate clubs taking the piss and us drinking it down.

As much as it hurts to say it, I would not be surprised one bit if Vinnie became an early Pep casualty. Cannot keep saying he will be fine indefinitely I'm afraid.

His passing is his biggest flaw!

Well if it is, he must be really good as his passing is not that shabby

 

[richards30]

Haha if true then we should move! Wasn't it already around £40m we were gonna pay?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Maybe not, but I'm confident that Laporte and Stones/Otamendi would be a formidable CB partnership.

At £90-odd million, you'd hope so. But then I hoped our current £70m pairing could defend and look how that turned out.

In other words putting pressure on us to buy him even with his broken leg

Pep has never had anyone play a NDJ type role, can't see him starting now.

He did a few things at Bayern that he didn't do at Barca due to the demands of the BL. Maybe he'll do similar here as he can't change all the squad and will have to work with what he has to an extent.

Yup, basically. It's probably us trying to negotiate less than his buy back and Athletic saying buy him now for that price or he'll go for more.

No chance, no one would buy him off us while he's crippled.

Then maybe kept as a squad player in that case
