Aymeric Laporte

[OneMoSalah 8,837]

YEES YES YES YES. Left footed CB, young, athletic, great bringing the ball out from the back.... ideal for LCB.

How reliable is he?

Laporte buy-out clause is (£54.6m)

[Dahnald 256]

Basque CB partnership between Azpi and Laporte?

 

Yes please!

[LondonsFinest 692]

Do people really watch him? I've not seen much people praise him, in fact, quite the opposite.

Deschamps mustn't rated him he still wait on his 1st cap for France 

[It's too big 625]

One question - why? With Christensen returning is there need for him?

Don't mean this in a rude way, but ESPN is terrible source for anything soccer related.

He called him up for the recent world cup qualifying games in March I think or whenever they were but he didn't play no. The French NT has got a wealth of CB options. that shouldnt take anything away from Laporte or make anybody doubt his ability and potential. Plus hes looked into switching his national team to Spain to play for their NT after making a statement about if France rejected him for the 2016 EUROS before the tournament although obviously France called him up and he has put that on hold.

If I remember he was called up then got injured and had to pull out? Could be wrong though...

Same guy that refuses to call up Lacazette and Benzema and decides that Gignac and Giroud are better options.

Anyway, if we were to spend big on a CB, I'd be much happier with Laporte than Van Dijk.

Zouma didn't get calls either even when he was a regular and bossed at Chelsea.

Laporte > Van dijk

Although i dont see the defence as an area we need to improve on. This season the defence has been pretty good. Dave/Luiz/Cahill with Christensen/Zouma/Ake as cover takes care of all bases for me, even if one of the cover players (Zouma) heads out on loan.
