Guest Cannabis Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 On my phone so can't post the link but according to Sky Sports Manchester City are in talks to sign Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao. This one would upset me. Do what Inaki did, sign a new deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one would upset me, he shouldn't leave a club like Bilbao for a soulless project in Manchester City. Do what Inaki did, sign a new deal! I wouldn't call Manchester City a "soulless project" and think he could thrive under Guardiola, but I agree otherwise that it would upset me. I'm a big fan of his and right now Otamendi and Stones are playing fantastic defensive football. It would be hard for him to replace one of them unless he was a name like Sergio Ramos, which he isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I thought they ditched the idea of signing him when he messed them about a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Blue Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Seems we have triggered his 57million release clause, down to Laporte now P.s if i would of made this thread, it would of been moved to transfer rumours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Both he and Inigo Martinez are ready for the next step, more so the latter. Far too good to be at the clubs where they are at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the epitome of soulless, a club bought to be a plaything, none of their success merited and built on the funding of a state. Just like PSG.

Dave Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Sounds like they have Inigo Martinez lined up as a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Both Aymeric Laporte or Iñigo Martínez would get into most first XI in Europe’s top teams. Love both of them although Iñigo is the finished article whereas Laporte has his potential to reach yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Batard Posted January 26, 2018 Administrator Share Posted January 26, 2018 I see this as a positive myself for the national team, it’ll toughen him up a little and he’ll be under the tutelage of Guardiola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if you followed all the comments made by the habitual Spanish forum posters back in the day at tff while Aymeric was evolving. He may be French, but he like Antoine Griezmann were brought up in Spain and have all their football understanding in that football and it’s why Guardiola really wants him as it’s a lot easier to transmit what he wants to these guys.
