Aymeric Laporte

[Centurions]

I'm sad to see him go. Great player for us. Admittedly there were times in the past where his mistakes would do my head in but that I'd the same with loafs of players (even KDB Silva Aguero, Yaya). Impossible standards ate expected from our players, especially defenders. At the end of the day he was a phenomenal signing and I wish him all the very best in his future.

We are so lucky.

Do you expect anyone to rise to that?

Said before he needs game time and if he gets paid a massive amount for doing it Fair play to the lad

Wish him all the best

Lol I went back any removed the loaf. :-)

Little sad to see him go as he was great for us for several seasons, our defensive options are so ridiculous now though that barring several injuries he wouldn't be getting many minutes.

Wonder what the fee is.

Love Laporte, hope him and Pep got along a bit better towards the end. There is obviously no space for someone with Gvardiol in.

 

[not my fault!]

Wonder what the fee is.

It was discussed a few pages back ;)

I said earlier, not sure if in this thread or another… but, I think at some point someone will wait her do/say something that gets them in serious trouble, or someone publicly states they hate it there and jump ship. What then? A mass exodus or brushed over? Either way I don’t blame any player taking silly money tax free and accepting watches as gifts (although that’d be seen as a bribe in other countries) even if it’s short term.

Time will tell,but this game is all about money,and they have plenty of it.

there were always rumours that he is a "weird character".. whatever that means.
didn't deschamps cast him out of the national team because he thought aymeric didn't gel well with the rest of the group? thought I read something along those lines.

My step lad did some work on his apartment in Manchester pre Covid (near the Gmex). He said he was a really good down to earth fella, not stuck up his own arse one bit and he had his medals and significant shirts on display in the apartment, obviously proud of his achievements. He never once complained about being left out of the team and always gave his all.
