Aymeric Laporte | Txiki doesn't forgive (except for when he does)

I thought they didn't go back to players who rejected them? I thought they had strong moral values?
Wait City is going to buy him and the hashtag says #MUFC. What?
Why have they hashtagged us?
That release clause doesn't look so ridiculous now
Bc there's only one club in manchester mate
The contract extension of City's star player hardly got noticed by anyone. They need to put us there to get clicks etc... ridiculous really!
This is because Liverpool put 4 past them. Pep is such a petulant fecking child.
Makes them not going the extra mile for Sanchez even more pathetic really.
Second most expensive defender in history, never capped by his country. Still looks pretty ridiculous to me.
That has more to do with France's options and him being injurd for quite a while.
I think we were interested in the past as well. Not sure if that's the reason though.
8 players signing 4 year contracts with an average wage of 80k. Around 140MYou forgot to include the wages
Ahh, perhaps I had the euros figure.
Just before his injury he was looking the real deal, he’s still young and defenders will make mistakes. Unfortunately it’s just what happens in that position. Saying that if they do sign Laporte hopefully he does play rubbish.
Sanchez's fee to Arsenal wasn't the issue, Laporte isn't going to be demanding to be City's top earner, plays in a position where they genuinely need more depth and is only 23 years old, not 29. You cannot compare the two transfers.
He is better than everyone we have bar Bailly.
Why on earth do they need another £65m defender? Who does he replace in the team? £40m Otamendi who is playing decent and scoring a few goals or £50m ball playing Stones?

Firstly he is better than Stones. Secondly, if they play three at the back, thats a solid back three.Why on earth do they need another £65m defender?
Kompany is injury prone and Mangala will be leaving (not good enough anyway) which leaves us with two reliable CBs, plus he can fill in at LB.Why on earth do they need another £65m defender?
How dare Pep drop young English prospect Stones. Imagine it was Jose replacing an English defender he bought for £50m for an even more expensive one after 1.5 seasons.
Obviously to replace the mere £40m otamendi. Eventually you will see the £60m Laporte and the £50m stones playing between the two £50m full backs. Didn’t you know that you need to assemble a £210m defence to keep out the greedy mercenaries like Sanchez?Why on earth do they need another £65m defender?
Are the media gonna add wages and signing on bonus with this? Or is it just £60 million because it’s Pep and city.
Can you imagine Sanchez's eyes, when he sees all that walking money?
Pretty much confirms it from the reliable Bilbao Journo..

Was hoping he wouldn't end up with that lot.
feckity feck!
He looked the real deal in a defence he didn’t really have to defend in.

Jose had a defence already set so focused on attackers.
Pep has his attack in place so is focused on defence.
Both taking about the same length of time to sort it out, the only thing is a top attack can cover a poor defence while a poor attack still has to break down stubborn sides.
The Manchester sides will dominate Europe in about 2 years imo. The arms race has an urgency that rival sides do not have.

I cannot wait for the indignation from the press when Citeh spend another £60m on their shite defence. Oh, but it's not United, so no one will care.
I'm not so confident about our defence, tbh. Bailly and Jones aren't bad, but somehow both are injury prone. Anyone else is mediocre.
Laporte is a very smart move.

Bilbao or money...
How much have City spent on defenders and goalkeepers in the last 3 or 4 years?

Much like with Liverpool, City’s defence is always going to be exposed due to how high their full backs play.
I don’t think Laporte is a world class upgrade on what they have. He’s maybe better than Stones and Otamendi, but I wouldn’t say it’s a vast difference.

Who's he replacing then? Otamendi? He's been pretty good this season. City can spend all the money at the back, will never stop them being shaky.
