Laporte hits a great long ball, but other than that, he's slow and no more than reasonable as a defender imo. He's fifth choice for a reason.

Stones is an absolutely top class footballer. Again, just my opinion.

Ha ha ha. So what if Stones is a better all round footballer and world class?
Laports has been a super player for us

Laporte has been decent for us, yes. Definitely not super, can’t see many being arsed if he moves on. He doesn’t seem bowled over by offers from other teams does he? Maybe he is not as highly regarded as you think?

hahahahhahaha.

I am overwhelmed by your persuasive counter. Thanks..

Stones may be better but LaPorte is still an excellent player. If you don't see it fair enough but I'd be delighted if he stays.

I don’t disagree, he’s a decent player, just not at Stones level. I too will be happy if he stays. He has limitations but so do all but the absolute elite. He’s a very fine backup as he was last year, as demonstrated by Pep. I’m in no rush to see him replaced..

Veratti has been in decline for a while now, shame, brilliant player at his peak
That said quite a few younger players have gone to Saudi, not all retirement paydays
Neves, Malcolm, Saint-Maximin etc

All players the clubs wanted to sell though. Newcastle obviously wanted to sell ASM for a while. Wolves have money issues so would be happy to take a good fee from anywhere. Malcolm bought out of the ruSSian league on It's arse. It's not like Saudi are turning the heads of top players in their pomp, that clubs really don't want to lose.

No problem. It is what your post deserved.

You have clearly been watching a different player for the past several seasons. I am not fully convinced your post was actually a serious one so I wont waste my time.

As long as we keep Walker and Bernardo, Gvardiol to replace Laporte and a quality winger to replace Mahrez I'd be happy with that.

I'll knock one out if that happens.

Becoming a fucking joke this Saudi league, this is pretty worrying if you ask me

LOL.. well maybe he can't get good empanadas in Saudi Arabia..
