"could", "if" - nothing to see here
This is actually a subliminal transfer update from TH and I’ve cracked it.Thanks!
You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto!
Let's call the whole thing off!
Would love that but attracting anyone would be tough given no guarantees of a starter spot.I’d still like Kounde to be the one to replace Laporte, if he leaves.
Ake would be the third choice which would also make him happier because he knows he is the first bench option. Don’t think we have to buy a top cb, because it would lead to the same problem if it is not stones, dias or the new guy that complains it would be Ake.We will have to convince a top CB tobe 3rd ok list and behind Stone Dias. Surely there would be enough minutes for 3rd CB given our schedule so that maye not be problem. If Stones make one error at EURO his confidence as will see will go down. Ideally we shouldn't be entering into CB market but if Laporte doesn't have a fight in him then we have to consider selling but a lt premium price €70m.
All top CBs command that price now and we should too doesn't matter if Txiki's friends at Barcelona are begging for a discount
There is nothing bad there, you are just reading too much into it. There are some players who are not happy with their situations here and want to move on that is all. Players move on, not everyone finishes their career in one club btwWhat I'm enjoying is that these chancers would have us believe that after winning the league, the League Cup, getting to the final of the CL and the semi-final of the FA cup and after our players winning the player of the year and young player of the year, all our players are unhappy and want to leave.
Meanwhile, at united and liverpool, both of which finished the season completely and utterly bereft of anything resembling a trophy or individual award, all their players are happy and contented.
To me, this means that, either our players are driven serial winners who want to play every game whilst theirs are also-rans happy to play for the cash or these cocks are making stuff up about City. I suppose it could be both.
So surely it makes more sense for Spanish clubs interested in Aymeric to sign PT insteadHis release clause is €45m and he had a great season with Villareal, won Europa and was excellent in the final vs rags. If someone is bold enough to give us £70-80m for Laporte then I'd take him.
Don't actually see I'm Eric leaving though. Lots of unhappy players stay and fight for a place
