No, definitely not. I accept you can't stand still but I dont think central defence needs strengthening.You see thats the kind of response that both Liverpool and the Rags managers dwelt on. Stay with the old guard and they wont let us down.Far better to bring new players in.You`re stuck in the 1970/80s if you think that squad rotation is a bad thing.

Agent, Player, Clubs. Fees can be discussed, agreed, and done fairly quickly. We splashed out 100 million on Grealish because we wanted the player he has been this season.
We will pay whatever is needed for him, i have no doubts.

WOW a massive £1.58 per home game. Worth every fucking penny jrb. ;)
I think I paid for one of his small toe nails? :-)

I agree but if Josko replaces Laporte, note that Aymeric didn't play much whilst Ake was much improved, Dias was a warrior and leader, Akanji was multi faceted and Stones was.....Johnny Stones. Plus there will be games when Kyle and Rico will play.Because standing still and not strengthening the team leaves us making the same mistake as dippers and scum have made in the past. Always strengthen from a position of power .
Plus my original post about bringing Bond in didn't strengthen the team in my view

He's not just strengthening central defence though, is he?No, definitely not. I accept you can't stand still but I dont think central defence needs strengthening.
He can play left back and is easily good enough on the ball to step into midfield à la John Stones.

The issue for Laporte is he’s basically only able to play the middle CB role in the 3-2 build up. Stones and Gvardiol have versatility and I think Gvardiol may even be tested in the Stones role sometimes.Whilst he isn't the second coming of Vincent Kompany and the fee does seem excessive he is good enough as an Eric Laporte replacement (although it is slightly disappointing on how that has ended).
