If Laporte wants to leave if we can get €60-70m for him we should go straight to Sevilla and pay the €60m they want for kounde! Dias and Kounde could be an epic partnership imo and we need an extra top class CB as Stones will be Stones at some points unfortunately

Its going to be hard to get someone to come in like that because everyone knows how good Laporte is, and everyone can see hes been pushed out by the dominancenof the Dias-Stones partnership.

So if someone like Koundé has any other offers, they're going to be as a guaranteed starter which is a lot more attractive than coming into fight for you life every game.

Which is why I would force Laporte to stay another year. Reality is he could easily displace Stones in preseason. He has the talent.

hope not mate but they are close to getting a CB from Atalanta I believe? Romero I think?

Probably looking at a load aren’t they? It’s their main weakness really. Kounde is just a name I’ve heard (not claiming to be ITK haha) so we’ll see. They’ll end up with somebody new there no doubt

A bit harsh on Stones, no? I’d hope after the season he’s had then he’d keep his place in the starting line up if he continues as he has been. Regardless of what Laporte does.

Oh I hope he stays without question as I personally think a Dias/Laporte partnership would be our best and most balanced with everyone for and in form? I like Stones but prefer a proper left footer at left CB.

yeah I can understand that as well mate, hopefully Laporte stays and fights for his place as a new season gives new opportunities.

Any thoughts on Kounde replacing Fern at DMF and also being able to play CB. I really like this guy,I think PEP could make him world class

Rags look like they are going to add a minimum of another £150m to their debt this summer tick tock.

I guess I don’t mean it to sound harsh. I love Stones. I just think that if Laporte focused he could be first choice again. That’s not a slight on Stones more a vote of confidence on Laporte’s ability. I’d hate to lose him.

Bernardo can go at the right price for me. Laporte I’d just stick a “not for sale” sign on him.
