If we pay £80m+ for a player with that injury record we’re fucking stupid! In fact, we shouldn’t even looking to buy a player with an injury record like that, full stop.

Jose Gimenez

Nowhere near as good as Maguire, he lacks his pace and ball control.
Also not as feisty or as economical with the truth
I imagine Pep wants an Otamendi replacement - a more combative option to supplement a refined partner that we’ve lacked since Kompany’s departure/Ota’s decline.
What’s interesting to me is that the club has signed a left sided utility defender in Ake, and also primarily targeted another defender who plays almost exclusively on the left in Koulibaly - perhaps they know Laporte is crocked, and are either preemptively covering for his absence, or perhaps even decline and departure.
Buy Koulibaly, swap Gimenez for Laporte?
Both Gimenez and KK are right footed we won’t be getting both and no suggestion we will sell Laporte we could play a back three with Ake Laporte and new CB we could play Ake as back up LCB we could play him as a LB and we could play him as CDM Don’t think we are expect to have a problem with Laporte but you can never be sure what will happen after injuries

For the money, his injury record and the differences between how we and Atletico play, doesn't make sense.

Gimenez would fight off a few Greek police !
People who really think he's better than KK are under mining the effect Simeone's tactics have on defensive players. KK would be a beast in Atleti's backline. Having said that, Giminez is a quality CB who's highly prone to niggling muscle injuries. So we should stay clear, especially at that price.

Wont address the big issue and thats the lack of pace from defence to central midfield.so its koulibaly for me.And i still think we need another ball winner who can cover the ground like a young fernandiniho.

Especially when he is running away from an Albanian gang of girls.
