Because ,if not now by the time he's 23 he'll be better than Ake and has the potential to reach Stones level playing as a CB/dm hybrid I reckon.So is a big step up from a very good Laporte.Assume this one depends on Laporte. Really not bothered by this guy just don’t see how improves us when we already have ake
They?They are on track to sign him regardless. Laporte have no links to anyone. It could be easily solved by moving Stones into midfield.
I keep reading that but last season and as it stands,I'm under the apprehension we are only 1 player off our maximum allowed. So not that small, and our squadf is of far better quality than any other.Let's remember we do have a small squad compared to most clubs so maybe we are bulking up the squad makes good sense
Them bloody confusing pronounsThey?
We'd be paying for the potential here. He is young, fast, strong, versatile and seems to be smart for his age... Give him a couple of seasons under Pep and he'll definitely be worth a lot more than that.Is Gvardiol worth £100m, surely not? I think he was bigged up at the WC but not sure why, and he played in the 7-0 at ours last season, hmm. Not every player has to be in this (p)rice range. And, unless Laporte leaves, we do have cover at the back anyway... I presume Pep likes him and could blow away any doubts, but that would also move another of our treble heroes back to the bench, and that does not comfort me.
I think we had over the quota of 'association trained' players , so some of them were counted as 'foreign'I keep reading that but last season and as it stands,I'm under the apprehension we are only 1 player off our maximum allowed. So not that small, and our squadf is of far better quality than any other.
