Birds of a feather and all that.
If he was fighting with a white guy you think he’s gonna call him a monkey that’s a race based insult. Not something you say to anyone in the heat of the moment it’s clearly targeted against black people.So we're going to call him a racist over one comment in the heat of battle?...I don't condone what he said one bit, but I'm not going to brand him a racist off it...what's his history?...there's a big difference between talking out of your ass in the middle of a match and actually being a racist...maybe he is, but his one off insult to Militao doesn't prove that... just proves he was ignorant and out of line...
Cancelo was signed as a RB backup for Walker. I think Laporte broke Dias/Stones partnership through threatening to leave if he wasn't an automatic starter. I doubt Pep told him he would be but Laporte has played a lot more than he probably would have done since spitting his dummy out.
I agree about him not being as effective as earlier in the season but i think Zinchenko is a better option as LB. Cancelo plays better as a RB i think.
Agree with this. It’s been nagging at me all season. I know Stones was injured at the start of the season but Laporte didn’t exactly nail down a spot for when Stones returned yet still kept his place without fail.
After the season and Euros that Stones had, I think that’s poor decision making. I’d like to think that we’d stand up to a player wanting to leave - or just let him leave - if he threatens to rather than just playing him regardless to keep him happy.
I'm not going to get into a debate with anyone about this...I've been called many an insulting name when I played, some with obvious racial undertones and by guys I know are not racists...I did not say he's not a racist...I said that comment to Militao on its own proves he was young and ignorant and out of line...you really want to tag this guy with that heavy of a label off that one incident, knock yourself out...but make sure all your windows are boarded up before you throw that stone...just sayin'...What the hell… if you want to insult someone and what you come up with is a racist slur, that definitely makes you a racist. There is absolutely no excuse or relativism.

Bit of a weird one this mate.
Believe it or not, some of us have never felt the compulsion to verbally abuse someone based on their skin colour.
I think it’s time for Laporte to move on, it’s the same tactic every season of threatening to leave if he doesn’t get to be a starter, if we get Bastoni I’m ok with it. Try the Stones and Dias partnership from last season because i thinks Stones deserve a chance to be a starter if it doesn’t work Bastoni and Dias as starters and Stones and Ake as cover, I’m good with that.Agree with this.

Yikes
I said he was way out of line...but how do you know he's targeted black people?...all you know is he's targeting Militao in a very shitty way...the idea that anyone acting a fool is automatically a dyed in the wool racist solves nothing...a fine, a suspension, counseling are all better ways to address these things then branding a 21 year old (at the time) with something that heavy for life...a real racist is one fucked up individual, be he or she White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Arab, whatever...I'm not ready to put that kind of label on that kid over one idiotic comment...JMO...If he was fighting with a white guy you think he’s gonna call him a monkey that’s a race based insult.

Carries a lot of weight being supported in your jobIrrelevant? He'd get that anywhere?
The point is that he's pushing 25+ and sometime being a rotational player doesn't suit one anymore... He's won everything here now, surely he'd want to start and become a pivotal part of a team, like he's done with Ukraine?
