Aymeric Laporte

[Plain Speaking]

Undisclosed fee obviously means we've been shafted it seems.

Quite a bit of political rivalry between our owners and Saudi's obviously not looking to do us any favours compared to other deals floating around!

No way the fee would be under 30m when you take into account the shit players the Saudi league have signed for much more.

It's looking like it is. Regardless of what we say on here, the valuation comes down to what we will accept and what someone will offer.

I wouldn't get hung up on the fee. Fabinho was still a first team player and I don't think Liverpool were actively looking for a buyer. Laporte is now third choice left centre back and it's obvious we've been trying to find him a move all summer.

The fee we receive is the price we pay for not selling him to a league rival and not pricing out of a move elsewhere. I can live with that.

It also shows other players present and future that we do not stand in the way of transfers should players wish to move on.

We get a fair price and the player wants to move it goes through without issue.

Good Luck in Saudi Aymeric.

At least playing significant number of games albeit at a lower level.

City not going to sell him to Top 6 PL, as City know how good he is.

Below Top 6 they don't have monies to pay acceptable transfer fee

and his wages. Little monies in Europe too. So off to Saudi, City get

reasonable fee to offset some of Gvardiol fee, but a younger option.


So keep fit, will have number of Top Strikers still to deal with as Saudi

buying up more and more, and Spain still see him as Top C/B playing

lots of games. Win Win situation for all parties in most respects and

every transfer has compromises, living in Manchester one of them....

I`m expecting to see some shit being thrown Txikis way any time now.
However he wont be involved in any discussions ref a fee although he probably will be advising the Board what he regards as an acceptable fee.

Is this supposed to be a poem

Everything about the club post takeover has been about the long term and this is another example of that.

What a load of absolute bollocks

Which part?

I thought the 2 countries were on good terms?
