Aymeric Laporte

[IOWBlue]

A, he was never 5th choice, he won't be 6th either. That would mean we play with only one CB, which we don't. Most of the season we have played with 3. Which makes him at worst 2nd choice.

B, nobody 'knows' we are trying to move Laporte, there is nothing to suggest we are doing that. He may well want to leave, however, and it makes sense. But can't take it for granted the club want him out.

A. that makes him at worst 4th choice. ( unless you are assuming all 3 are being swopped for next match)

Probably getting his coat on as we speak.

What do you mean on point a

Hope he stays.

There's no way he stays and nor should he. He's a starting CB at 99% of clubs in Europe.

I fear (for him) that he’ll stay because nobody will pay what we want. I’m presuming that’s why he’s not gone yet anyway.

I can understand the Bernie conundrum from the club because he’s a starter and a fantastic player - so demands a high fee.

But Laporte is out of favour and it’s probably a right time all round to part ways. Surely it’s a high fee stopping him from going because he’s fantastic, I can’t see why clubs wouldn’t be clamouring over him.

If the Stones injury rumours are true I wonder if he stays. Maybe goes in January instead.

Stones isn't injured he trained as normal yesterday

Thank god. Just wonder if we will be hesitant around him. If so would probably make more sense for the 6th cb to be THB and still sell Laporte.

I like laporte would be sad to see him go but understand if he does.
