Aymeric Laporte

[What Lies Beneath]

Players rep has told us he don’t wanna go there but money talks ! Fee from a premier league team will be 25/30 million. Tottenham have to shift players

So frustrating, he’d be perfect for us. Argg.

Nice to see a player potentially wanting to turn that circus down

Proper frustrating . Levy needs to be ruthless now it’s becoming a problem

Same thing every window though isn't with outs & us struggling to do it. Now In today's market it's even harder to shift premier League salaries unless it's to Saudi Arabia.
unless we follow clubs like that lot down the road and release players / agree to free transfers then we will continue to have a bloated squad while Levy can't find anyone to pay his inflated fees

With the Kane money (not to mention our massive revenues), we need to be willing to let go of the deadwood without dragging negotiations out for weeks trying to get top dollar. All the moreso if we are going to be targeting inexpensive young/not-yet-established players such as Orban and Schuurs at the positions that remain to be addressed.

Our inability to shift our players has held us back in the market for years and has surely come at a massive cost when you consider the impact it's had on our league finishes/European qualification, etc. If it prevents us from making the signings that the squad is crying out for yet again, in a summer that we're flush with cash, it will be infuriating.

‘Becoming’ a problem???? He’s had all summer and has sold one player. It’s pathetic

 

[KingNick]

For a clever man, Levy is incredibly Stupid on outgoings. Wonder what he is demanding for the likes of Ndombele, Sanchez and PEH and how that compares to the offers. Other than ego, I don’t really have a good assessment of what harm giving these players free transfers / taking whatever we are offered would
Ultimately cause. Each of them is around 5 - 10m of the wage bill.

2 players. We sold Winks and then sold one last week that may have gone under the radar.

But he never is. Rinse and repeat window after window. We all know they’ll all still be here bar maybe a couple of loans

 

[King of the Lane]

Im pretty sure we could buy Laporte if we really wanted to and he wanted to come here, without having to shift players. Lloris looks like he is off so Laporte would just take his place.

We are clearly only going to target young and unestablished players now IMO.

 

[ItsBoris]

16m for Laporte is the fee for a Saudi team because he will not be going to any of Man City competitors. I guarantee if it was a PL based team, the price would be double.

lol at the idea Man City would see us as a competitor. More likely past bad blood with Levy. I imagine they'd sell to us though

 

[Albertbarich]

Having seen just how high our line was at Brentford I'd honestly prefer to buy another pace merchant.

Were going to need them this season!

 

[LannerSpurs]

People say this all the time about these Saudi deals. It's not the fee, it's about the insane wages. That's why they go there.

I've just seen that Neymar is reportedly getting 2.5 million a week, thats insane!!

Nothing we haven't seen before, sadly.

Levy would need to pull thumb and get this done before shifting players but we all know that's not going to happen.

Let's just hope he's still available once we've managed some outgoings.

As others have said, he would be perfect for us.

couple of weeks away from the often fabled “lessons have been learned” and the old “club will look to address shortcomings in January” chestnut.

Maybe next year

 

[Guntz]

Time to start ripping up contracts

Laporte will be quite comfortable playing a high line though coming from city

I agree but we're not as good as them so I'd prefer another VDV type for recovery
