I'm with you, we'd be mad to get rid of Laporte. The big reason we did so well last season was because of our strength at CB. Losing Laporte severely weakens our options and it only takes an injury to Dias or Stones and we're short again. We don't want a repeat of the 19/20 season where we're having to shoehorn Fernandinho into the back 4 due to injuries and a shortage of options.

He just needs to dig in and force his way back in. A good Euros with Spain and a good pre season and he could easily be 1st choice next season.

I just don't see Laporte leaving without a replacement lined up which seems pointless.

Don’t think we have any inclination to get rid. However if he is determined to move we won’t force him to stay.
 
We'll all see how good Stones is in the next few weeks, he's not going to have the class of Dias alongside him and he'll be exposed and vulnerable with Mings or Coady if slabhead doesn't make it. If he doesn't have a good tournament Laporte could easily start next season alongside Dias if he carries on his form for Spain like he played on his debut

Fear the worst if I’m honest

Mings is shite

John will be looked on as the main CB

You seen how many mistakes Laporte makes. Stoney’s got this.

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

They are going to play Wan Bissaka as a CB if they can sign Tierney or another right back, apparently
