To be honest, Laporte was always mentally weak. His problems with France NT, when he bottled his first City transfer because he was too comfortable in Bilbao, huge mistakes in big CL games, zero leadership on the pitch... I think he will stay for another season but if some non-PL team offered £45m+ then I'd sell him, no doubt.
Actually wouldn’t say no to him alongside Maguire

So Ronaldo staying at Juve and Icardi remains at PSG
£50m plus Lingard gets Rice I reckon. Then West Ham buy Bissouma with the money.
Laporte's just posturing for slightly fatter brown envelopes under the table.
I’m not so sure he’s convinced by Henderson. Also, Henderson is really arrogant and maybe rubs people the wrong way.Just trying to reason why this transfer wouldnt happenI’m very sure Ole wouldnt drop Henderson after all thats happened and therefore we wont go for Oblak
Anyway, I’d definitely consider getting rid of both De Gea and Henderson.
De Gea > Atletico
Oblak > Utd
Henderson > Spurs or West Ham
Donnarumma > PSG
You heard it here first!
Well they can’t afford to buy Tammy A for 40m so this would put a payment down on both players
Laporte is a top class defender, not sure why there are some fans demeaning him and his ability?
We couldn't, could we?
It's quite funny if he goes and they're left with Stones. I mean Ake is more capable than Stones in my opinion but neither as good as Laporte.
They have Dias too mate and Stones is usually his partner. They can easily buy up another defender if they have to sell Laporte
If we can’t get Rice I’d take Bissouma

I’d definitely take Bissouma. I think a window of
Sancho
Bissouma
CB (Varane/Kounde/Torres)
is definitely achievable with a few outs like Lingard, Pereira, Dalot etc
We’d probably still be short of City overall but we’d have a very healthy squad, especially with the likes of Diallo and Hannibal looking good when given a chance. We’ve also got Garner and Pellestri with successful loans.

Mental payment and wage structure!

Let’s just hope that we still definitely buy a defensive midfielder.
I genuinely don't see the fuss about Alaba, certainly for that money. Is he still demanding to play in midfield too?
Yeah, from that doesn't look like he is going anywhere
Will walk on a free next summer then
Yep fear he is indeed just going to sit out the season and leave on a free for the second time
Come on Aymeric swap blue for red because don't need to move house and will forget all about that League Cup final thing. Makes we wonder if this is maybe why we saw that article about Varane on Wednesday that was linking City to him

I'm guessing Real with Mbappe.
Looks there like Phelan is the top man.
Was clear to me from before the final. In his pre match interview, he was asked directly what he still wants to achieve. He said ‘win the Premier League’ specifically.
Where do you see him being deployed next season primarily, I don't know how him and Fernandes and Rashford can coexist in the team without impacting one of them adversely as well as the balance of the team Solskjaer needs to take some tough calls.
In a heartbeat
Fraud
But he’s OUR fraud!
Careful, your not allowed to form your own opinion of players.
My thinking is the same as yours. Some tough choices are needed.

This Tweet gave me a semi.
Yeap Id say so.
Net spend or not, we would be lucky to get more than three of those positions for £150m if you look at the rumoured targets for each position.
Can’t see us making more than £100m in player sales this summer either barring any surprises.
Such a typical May tweet about us that 
Not saying this is true, but a net spend of 150 million coupled with player sales would mean us spending north of 200 million this summer. I am not as pessimistic as most of the others on here but this seems a bit too good to be true kind of situation.
