Aymeric Laporte

[itisrising]

Indeed. Watch loads will say he is shite anyways. Especially the ones that have never seen him play and got their brains turned by media reports.

Btw even with Pep we are still not one of the major attractions for players. But we move forward as we have been doing over the last 8 years.

No, we are one of the major attractions. We have the most sought after coach, playing in the most sought after league, playing in the most sought after European competition with the most sought after facilities. If Aymeric Laporte, playing in a team that settles for a mid table finish in the La Liga, rejects us he is the only person missing out. John Stones certainly won't blink at a move the same way Gundogan didn't blink at a move.

Not many young left sided centre half's about at the moment. A kick in the balls for the club but I'm sure we'll get back up.

It's funny, I'm not actually that bothered that this one didn't happen. Was looking at costing a fortune and just recently had a horrendous injury. There are others out there, and personally I feel there's still a lot of potential in mangala and otamendi

 

[Lkzerinho]

I Swear this is a ploy to just make us pay more, if Pep wants him he will get him

 

[Kladze]

Ugh, we're going to end up with Stones now, for sure, aren't we?

your in denial aren't you

 

[MillionDollarDream]

looking like we are going to end up buying a lot of 2nd choice players this pre season, not what we need right now this has cost us in the past. To get the best we need to start paying the best.

This is what it's starting to look like. No Pogba no Laporte, who was the other options outside of Laporte/Stones that we were looking to bring in?

 

[taleofbluehalves]

Just need to move on. We need players with a little more steel to make difficult decisions.

 

[Citizen Green]

You just know he's gonna end up the one that got away

 

[Cityisland]

Ric said its a surprise to city mate.

Whens he been on?

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

everyone post in good faith...you do realize these can change at the last minute ?

we have seen this a few times already...ofcourse unexpected , it reflects poorly on the Lad not us

Yep. Not so much aimed at our respected In the Knowers like Ric and Tolmie. Much more appropriate for the likes of Anonymous and (especially) Tancredi Palmeri.

 

[RichardDunneOwnGoal]

is there anything you like about this club?

I don't rate Txiki as a DoF, shoot me.

 

[Blue warrior]

Whens he been on?

A few pages back bud.

 

[Mezrah]

That smug smile Laporte has got on his face while signing his new contract.. Only had his eyes on the new contract it seems.. Oh well onwards and upwards!

 

[kaz7]

Whens he been on?

Just now

 

[Blue warrior]

I don't rate Txiki as a DoF, shoot me.

Pep reportedly spoke to him of his plans too.

 

[mcfc1996]

Why announce the extension of the contract but throw in the buy out clause at the same time? If he has signed a contract with the intention of staying what relevance is the buy out clause?

 

[Silva_Spell]

Go for Ashley Williams and spend the rest on CM

very common in the Spanish league

Buyout clauses have to be included in player contracts in Spain. Its norm, every player in Spain has buyout clause.
