Totally agree and on his day he can be world class, definitely has more about him to be linked with palace (no offence to them intended)

The trouble for Laporte started with his ACL injury. Like a lot who suffer this, he just lost a yard of pace and turning ability in order to recover. So, if the play is infront of him then no problem, but the moment its ‘over the top’ or up against a speed merchant, he’s going to struggle. That makes him generally still ok in a back four who sit in place, but Pep now basically plays a back three. That’s my take on it, but again, it’s just an opinion, as I can’t think of another reason as others have said.He gets in ours for me, don't really understand how he fell so out of favour. Although Aké has been phenomenal. Kind of unlucky he played injured the end of 21/22 to win us the League then someone came and took his spot at the start of next season when he was recovering.
He’d look a King there, but a jester against top six or CL?Totally agree and on his day he can be world class, definitely has more about him to be linked with palace (no offence to them intended)
Rico is in a different class to Phillips, and one of the reasons why Phillips has to go.It wasn't to do with Phillips bring trusted in my opinion pep has been quoted as saying he wanted kovacic to play in every role as to get an understanding of what is required.
Think Rico will deffo get more game time
Dethroned by Gvardiol?He’d look a King there, but a jester against top six or CL?

Thread threshold being reached. Shame, I’ve enjoyed this rambling festival of amusing asides. The transfer, when it happens, will be an anticlimax now.Old news,3 hours ago.

Palace? His left Ball sack alone is too good for palace. You can’t blame them for trying I supposeI'll be surprised if Laporte's valuation is met this summer. Only Palace appear to have shown any interest publicly and I can't see them paying much over £20/25m for a fifth choice defender.

I hesitate to over-hype a young kid. However, whenever I watch him I am impressed. He could be a star for us. Already looks streets ahead of Phillips..Rico is in a different class to Phillips, and one of the reasons why Phillips has to go.
