It'd be like Pep to keep Laporte and use him as 1 of the 3 left sided defenders moving Gomez further forward to compete for a wingers position with Grealish, Foden, Silva & Palmer. The squad is still very healthy without Gvardiol.Just keep the defence as it is especially if we can't shift Laporte
Have City called off the deal?Maybe Pavard as the alternative along with Laporte? Not every supporters "dream" combo but still good enough.
none of those deals reached the "yeah its basically done" stage to be stuck in limbo
I've never seen (or eaten) an oven bottom barmSurely you mean barm.
Don’t like people who’s too quick on the trigger. Ornstein delivers guarantees and always spot onRomano works with a much bigger scope
well played.Enjoy the silence
i agree!Leipzig weren't ever budging from their valuation, they made it very clear how much they wanted for him.
These teams aren't mugs, look at Brighton with Caicedo. They won't sell him for anything less than 90m. The selling club now have all the power.
If we don't pay the price, we don't get the player.
But why have we been haggling for months when the message was very clear?
Why haven't we just walked away months ago if we were never going to pay the price Leipzig wanted?
Move on to someone else if we are clearly not going to pay what it takes.
i did but with less than 4m people we are an irrelevant source of incomeThe Croatian poster here says he is the biggest celebrity in Croatia at the moment
he did not! he jumped on his own, no contact until going downLol that's a clear foul. He propped himself up on Dias shoulder and it wasn't called because of UEFA corruption.
If he does that in a City shirt, he'll get called for a foul every SINGLE TIME!
Where have you heard that because every other source is saying Leipzig won't let the lad go because they haven't got their replacementWell we're not paying the fee required, so how is it not our fault?
It is still far from being done.Have City called off the deal?
Doesn’t seem to far I mean Gvardiol himself liked the tweet yesterday I think he'd know more than any of us on here.It is still far from being done.
Doubt it but it’s not a done deal. City know what they have to do and have known that since MarchHave City called off the deal?
As Laporte wants to go it’s kind of vital. If they can keep Laporte, it’s not vitalIf there’s one position we don’t need strengthening then it’s defence. Maybe a specialised left back but that’s about it. Won’t be bothered if this doesn’t happen
Not that you have any knowledge of the negotiations, of course.Is there a club that has more long, drawn out negotiations than city? they’re mad because they can’t control the media in todays day and age? Complete insanity.
