Laporte says goodbye

[Deepest Blue]

Many who depart have scripted goodbye messages but some like Dzeko, Mancini and now Laporte you can tell really mean it.
Bon chance Ayme et au voir mon ami.

 

[blue whippet]

Good bye and good luck Aymeric, thanks for all you have given to City. That was a nice goodbye too.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Worth double the Hendo fee in today's market. Strange world.

To who?

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Thank you for the many great memories and may you and your family enjoy good luck and good health in your new venture.

 

[Trojan63]

Unsung hero - one of the quieter members of the squad but great professional and never let us down when called upon - all great teams need players like Aymeric - sad to let him go - all the best

 

[bulldogblue]

All the best Eric and thank you for the service you have provided over recent years.
Whilst you are not a smiler I think deep down you are blue at heart and always will be.

A good player who made a significant contribution to our success, it was probably time for him to go, but he should leave with out best wishes and he’s going to a new and lucrative chapter in his life.

 

[WestGorton]

Class player. Class man.

 

[jamesha]

Played a big part in our successes since he joined. Still a very capable player who would improve most teams in the Premier League so not sure why he is going to Saudi but good luck and much gratitude to him.

 

[Lavinda Past]

I was never his biggest fan but have to say that he never let City down.

Good luck to the lad.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Great player and an even better person.

All the best Aymeric.

Scored the winner against Spuds at Wembley.

 

[eastmanc]

Very classy. Good luck Eric.

What a cock you are. He’s been consistently excellent for us for 5 and a half years, given his all in every game he played and played a major part in our success. In terms of quality, easily in the top ten central defenders we’ve had in the last 40 years. Yet you choose to pick up on the odd bad game and rumours about his attitude. Fuck off

Reading between the lines, I'd say you don't agree with me. Really no need for that is there?

Ask yourself if he was as good as you say, why he isn't playing regularly for us and why hasn't a top team come in for him? He was certainly excellent for us when he came, definitely an upgrade on the likes of Mangala, Garcia and Tosin but Pep's seen something he doesn't like and can't fix. And I'd trust Pep's view over yours every single fucking time.

Class player, proper centre half top bloke and proper put it on the line when we really needed it to win us titles. Arguably not got he credit he deserves but hopefully that changes over the years when people look back. All the best I'm Eric!

The season before last he played through the pain barrier when we didn't have any central defenders and he was definitely a major reason why we ended up winning that title.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Aww sad loss this

 

[baggy]

Go get yourself that bag...

 

[Blueboy73]

Good Luck Eric and thanks for everything

 

[bennyboy]

Put the team before himself to help us win the league at a further cost of injury to himself.
For that alone he is a legend.
Good luck Aymeric for your future career.
