It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Nothing about Cancelo at all, just referenced the transfer window saying we’re not done and things will move. Then this was said, so I’d take that as Laporte taken into consideration

still think he'll go before the window is out though, Walker stays.

Rather keep Bernie than have Leroy back....he engineered a move away and missed out on winning the biggest prize....Good player ( not better than Bernardo who is also vastly more versatile)

Lose Bernardo and we are a weaker team than previous

Keeping Laporte is an interesting one, as it will show Laporte put his head down. I think it was very apparent he was being influenced by Mommy Bless Me who was being a locker room cancer. Literally everyone settled down when he was turfed out.

I think it speaks volumes that there's no rumours about Laporte and his only socials etc have been positive since the end of the season. I think he's getting his head down and backing himself

I've been saying for ages that I hoped Laporte would stay. Delighted if Pep really confirms this.

As he said its a long season with players very likely to be injured .... plus many can play in different positions.

If there is a real chance of Laporte getting back into first team contention in Pep's new system then I totally agree in keeping this season.

I guess anywhere he goes would be a step down, although more game time, so maybe best staying where he is?

He didn't really say that though, did he?

If I've learned one thing about Pep over the years it's to take everything he says in pressers with a grain of salt. Agree that we should be keeping him if he's happy competing for his minutes, again.

Is Walker considered a centre back then

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

He’s right. I have said many times I would keep Laporte in addition to signing Gvardiol

We all would Laporte had been amazing
However he is 30 next and will want to play
I suspect he will leave

pep answered as its 6 now, RCB/RB along with akanji I think.
