It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Agreed. Pep has said that Laporte's left footed passing angles are important, so Stones is unfortunately competing with Dias. I think Stones is better than Dias in many ways (speed, heading etc), but arguably Dias's organisation of the defence balances that out.

I may be projecting, but I've also noticed that Laporte has become more passionate about his defensive actions this season. Stones absolutely bought into the Dias "defend at all costs" attitude, but Laporte always looked a little awkward with it - perhaps those two playing together so much this season is making a difference to Laporte too.

Always thought Cancelo was better at LB when he had natural left footed CB next to him

I'm not sure about this.

I think he is an Arsenal/Spurs level player. He's good but not great.

He's 26 years old and going on 27 next year, He hasn't had a good season this year.

It feels like it would be a Delph/Ake type signing, If he is content with being rotated and having to fight his way into the XI for big games, and it only costs 30M, why not. But as the main midfielder I would not like it.

But that can't be the only midfielder we bring in this summer.

Thought this about Gaz Barry

What a signing he turned out to be
 
Phillips is a good cover, his strong and agile, not really a problem, will adapt quickly, would be smart business if they go down and he's available for £25-30m. But the club will be weary of his injury issues. That's the only stumbling block, in addition to any of the links being legit, I thought the rags desperately wanted him.
