Aymeric Laporte's being linked to us now.

The rumour is that Woodward flew out to Barcelona today not just to deal with Pedro but also Laporte who is due to play for Bilbao. Laporte signed a new contract recently with a £36.5m buy out clause, complex as we saw with Herrera yet possible. Only reporting what I have read.

Laporte + Stones = Yes

The way laporte kept Messi quiet in the 1st leg was very impressive! If we get him I'd be extremely chuffed

Would Laporte improve us immediately or would he be a risk given the bedding in period required for such a young player? I haven't actually ever seen him play. Just wondering how much better he is than our current lot.

Woody better get his finger out with the pedro deal now debruyne says he's definitely staying with wolfsburg I would expect man City to press the button on trying to get him first.

Could only see stones coming if we were to ship Jones out as part of our core.

Benny, Laporte is the French Stones. He has however done it over multiple seasons, improving in each. He is very very composed has good height, he's fast, very good on the ball and very good defensively. He's also left footed so the perfect foil for Stones, thus my previous post!

Laporte would be a good edition.is he ready for the hassle of the PL???
We at least have built a relationship up with bilbao over the Harera deal

Calm down, that's not taken from Metro is it?

Pedro's going nowhere, it's Dani Alves part 2, and why would we want him? He has great stats, but if he feels he's taking a step down then it's going to be like us signing di Maria all over again. There's plenty of young players who'll bust their balls to get into the side and now they have a manager who's willing to give them a chance.

The answer to the is he ready question; probably, in the sane way Ramos is probably ready for the EPL. He's a very good player at a very young age with the potential to be a great player. Personally, that's good enough for me.

Rewz he'll do for me too. Don't get all the fellow united fans clamouring for woody to close the deal on Pedro, like we won't have other options. I for one wouldn't be dissapointed if ed went on a plane flew back from Spain with laporte in this instance.

Laporte would be a sensational signing no two ways about it! I really hope it comes off! He'd be in the back 4 for the next 10 years!
He's a thought, how about swapping De Gea for Varane?
If that happened, I'd be drooling perfusely!
