Messi is 34 or 35 I believe, and was the player of the tournament. Anyone can be ruined by his ability. Konate is good, just LFC are crap. Upamecano is a good CB just irrational.Leipzig defenders get hyped to the sky for some reason, Upamecano and Konate make Mangala seem composed. Haven't seen as much of this player but ruined for pace by a 38 year old at the WC isn't too promising.
I'm not too fussed about the fee personally. Him being 21. Balancing off the fee with laporte going. Rather start getting ahead in refreshing the squad. New hungry players in will help with motivation and such.From what I’ve seen he’d be somewhere between Laporte and Ake
Possibly a better natural defender than Laporte but nowhere near as good a passer. Yet still probably a better passer than Ake.
Pace probably similar to both
We need two left footers but his price is very steep and probably a fair bit more than he’s worth at this moment in time. We’d be paying a premium for potential

We will see. Certainly not them and Phillips too. Seriously cant rely on Rodders all the timeI can’t see Rice and Rodri in the same squad mate?
Laporte isn't sticking around for another season as rotation. I don't get the impression that Laporte himself would be doing us any favors, he will force a way out. 30 something I reckon to Real or Barca. Its a profit on the books and everyone can move on.Making a big assumption that Laporte is off tbf
Who can afford him, fee and wages?
Barca with their lowball offers can fuck off
Madrid? Maybe but they can’t expect favours or bargains

Would be like selling 10 pound notes for a fiver (and not the Mickey Thomas 10 pound notes).
