Aymeric Laporte

[typicalcity...]

Wow, looks like this really is moving quickly - I guess we’re not fucking about. Great stuff.

Imminently imminent? ;-)

City working intensely on Fred today too. What a time to be a City fan.

Happy times :)

What are “training rights?”

Training fees... I'm not sure at a guess that would go to Athletic Bilbao for bringing him through.

John Stones was having an excellent season before injury but now he could do with some competition.

He was one of the best players in the CL group stages & probably one of our trop three players before his injury. Just a complete brick wall all-around.

But 4 errors in 5 games is just shocking for any defender, let alone a defender in a team that’s competing on all fronts. Still has a couple of games to clean it up before big matches arive, here’s hoping we get first half of the season Stones back.

Payments made for his very stylish casual attire.

Is the depth really that good? Benjamin Pavard, a 21 year old I’ve never even heard of was in the last squad and has two caps.

Even in a world where national team selection was based only on skill and not the manager's preference Umtiti, Varane, Koscielny, Kimpembe and Zouma (prior to his injury) are all strong competition.

The Rags are in denial on the CAF.

Double standards.
2nd most expensive centre half.
Are wages included?
City never go back after a snub.
Etc.
Arf!

Just popped over to rag cafe and they are gutted about us signing him :)

 

[Metalartin]

Haha those crazy rags, he didn't snub us for another club he just decided to stay where he was, maybe it was too soon for a big move for him? In which case it was probably quite sensible of him as it's sink or swim at the top level.

Agree on that but Stones is looking shaky since he returned.

Losing out on Sanchez has focused minds.
Sheikh Mansour.
"F***ing do both deals now!"

 

[abu13]

We are buying in areas that we need to strengthen. We are going to have the Swiss army knife of squads. So many options

 

[kippaxblue76]

You havn`t answered my question . Why in your opinion is he not as good as most other people think so ?

Point me to where you asked that before ? Did you actually read my original post ?

Zouma (Pior to his injury)....you mean the injury he got when Mourinho was still manager? Zouma hasn't been relevant to France for years.

 

[PALESTINIAN HEARTED MANC]

Wow, didnt really see this coming, THAT fast:)

 

[domalino]

When there's no negotiating with the parent club, there's not really any reason to be slow is there? Walk in a dump a bag of cash on the desk, walk out with a new CB.

Exactly that, Pep thinks the Champions League is there for the taking this year.

Fantastic.

...you're correct on that, time flies I guess. I was referring to the lead up to the last Euros but seems I misremembered.

They can say anything about us at the minute and I’ll just laugh at the fuckers. Our squad is so far ahead of there’s and we’ve got Pep, that’s the key. Half of their fans are in denial thinking Jose is the man to take United back to the top of world football. Wins a few trophies then leaves clubs in a mess. It must be hurting them so much to see us performing at the level we are at the minute. I think we will only get better next season with Laporte, Fred and Mendy coming back from injury. We will also sign an attacker, fuck knows who but I’ve got no doubt City won’t let us down.
