I don't think we are looking for an alternative tbf we seem happy woth Ake and Sandler as 3rd/4th choice should he go.
So better to try and get his worth if we can, but if he goes for £60M then fine, but it seems very undervalued for his ability and present fees going about for a central defender
I think if we let him go and don't replace him then that is a major major issue. Ake is absolutely not a solution IMO
Given that we have 3 very good CBs that all deserve to start, it maybe time for a new system.
Ederson
Stones Dias Laporte
Walker Rodri Cancelo
Kev. Grealish
Foden
Jesús
We've got used to Mahrez and Sterling hugging the touchlines but so have our opponents. Let Walker and Cancelo do it, with 3 creative players playing more centrally.
Looks good on paper. The downside don't see how Mahrez plays in this system. Torres and Raheem could play more centrally, especially Raheem if he played just off Jesus.

Appreciate that my mate but you said they had no chemistry. Unlikely to get that without playing together.stones and diaz looked good together from the first game they played together, We dont really have the time to give laporte and diaz and extended run in the centre if stones keep performing.
More than happy with Dias and Stones at the minute however rightly or wrongly I feel Dias Laporte has the potential to be better
Did Brighton replace Ben Bland?2 of them could and 2 of them would do a job for Norwich.
Ake would be prefect for them and get a return to the South coast.

Some of them think they are now Sigmund bloody Freud. Laporte after being lorded not so long ago is now a useless big baby who can’t mix with people or play alongside anyone. Dias and stones were great last year so now they are going to be great forever never lose form, need a rest or get injured. Add in Gundogan who is now a liability following his goals last year and major role in our record setting winning run.
The plan this year is to play as many attacking players as possible and hope we can pick the same back 4 for every game. Sign Kane and we may even be able to play Foden and Mahrez at full back.
There would be a lot at STAKE!Imagine dias getting injured and we go in with a pairing of stones and ake.
Ha ha, I like a play on words!

Two years ago we thought Laporte deserved to be talked about in the same breath as Van Dijk. Now after recovering from an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury there seems to be some unfair criticism of Laporte. If Stones had not made his massive upturn in form Laporte could still have been that player we thought he was 2 year ago.
If Laporte has a bad attitude fair enough, but he is still a top player.
