Aymeric Laporte

[cleavers]

Kind of a watershed signing this is.
Delighted to get him and it’s much needed in my opinion, but whilst it’s not a surprise it does signal to me that we’ll most probably be saying goodbye to kompany in he summer!

Not necessarily, there's plenty of options available for him to stay as player/coach/management.

“Baldamort” is even worse than “PEG”.

Got to admit, I laughed at baldamort.

He really is the perfect partner for John Stones and he will build a great partnership with Mendy that will help them both for the national side

Just got in from an 85 year old birthday house party for an old lady we know .....not as bad as it sounds but better news on here.

You are Wayne Rooney and I claim my £5 sir!

The rags tears are delicious. As our squad continues to get younger they put their whole season and budget into Sanchez

What's a RAT then?

A pussy eater

Was Rooney there?

Weird the way he sees €70m fee (which is above the release, so doubt it) then just adds it onto £ fees for other defenders as if they're the same thing. Gets to £250m at which point someone adds on Ederson and comes to almost £300m.

Maths clearly not a strong point.

Anyone want to add up the price of De Gea, Shaw, Bailly, Darmian etc, not forgetting they bought most of the shite like Jones & Smalling before prices went through the roof.

It’s €65M + 5M development fee. So they’re already adding the little fees they cry about but nobody has any ideas on the wages just it’s between a 5 or 6 year contract.

What do they say? Farewell messages?

Yeah he’s liked loads of Farewell messages on twitter..he’s ours

One of the key differences between us and the Rags is that we need the best young players in the world to play the style of football that Pep demands. They would play in exactly the same way regardless of which players they signed so in that sense the fees and wages we pay is a necessity, for them it's a luxury.

Yh judging by the tweets he has liked and on Instagram it looks like he will be ours soon...not celebrating till he is holding up the shirt after last time :D

Also liked a message on Instagram...ends in -

"you also have the doors open if you decide to return because this is your home. You are one of my idols and you always will be. Good luck in Manchester I wish you the best"

What the hell is a development fee really?

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Going to the rags don't you know?

 

[MillionDollarDream]

What the hell is a development fee really?

I read it somewhere that it’s a payment to the selling club if the player came through the team between 12-21. Will be the small fee we send to PSG for Gomes as well and what we got for Sancho

 

[Wolfkin]

So many angry rags on twitter haha

 

[Akira]

Does this mean we aren't signing Jonny Evans anymore?

 

[Gabriel]

Hope we get him in time to be on the bench for the Albion game on Wednesday night. Would be good to have him blooded early, and at home, because the February fixture list has games where you probably wouldn't want to make your debut.

Otamendi's on form and Stones is... also here, so I doubt we'll throw him in the deep end. Like Mangala, he'll need some time to adapt to the league, but unlike Mangala, he can take as long as he needs because we're flying at the moment and have three currently fit top quality centrebacks.

If I had to guess I'd say he'd make the bench for the Burnley game next Saturday and maybe his first start against Leicester on Febuary 10th, but I don't know if he'd need to.
