A literal ITK God (get it?) weighing in on it.
He's played in all the friendlies.......
I'd take that but i can't see why Laporte would join us. Any CL club would take him and he's probably on massive wages which we won't match.
Agree we are probably worse now than we were back then.
Pure BS indeed
He was probably ONLY offered the 6 year deal. He likely had 2 options sign it or not have a new contract. Let's be serious here, if he hadn't signed that contract in 2018 he would have been sold then. The 6 years benefits us and only us.
On this logic a player would always serve the contract then leave for free. Transfer fees would be irrelevant. Maybe this should happen. But then players who aren't playing regularly wouldn't be able to leave to get football elsewhere.
That's literally what I just said so I have no idea why you seem to be disputing it.
Laporte is reportedly only on around 80 grand a week plus bonuses.
He probably doesn't want to come here but we could definitely afford his wages.
That isn't credible at all.
I will be shocked if he's not on a lot more than that. But if we can get him i'd definitely take him. Him and Romero would be a nice new CB partnership.
All speculative for now though of course.
Players employ agents to negotiate on his behalf.
The deal was 6 years contract gave the maximum wages, so that's why his agent (brother Charlie ?) probably thought that was the best deal.
Anyway, the contract stands whatever you may think.
And as I say if ManCity wanted to put in a stonking offer DL would have to consider it. But the issue is ManCity clearly do not want to do that - they're prepared to offer £100m for Grealish but not bid for Kane.
Hence Kane stays.
I ask again what is dificult to understand ?
Could have a Spanish left side with him, Reggie and Gil.
Surely you see the difference between random tabloid gossip and a player not turning up for training on the day he is due back?
Either all reporters have the info wrong and Spurs have given him extra holiday in which case this is a non story or he has simply not showed up for training.
If it is the former I struggle to understand why this wouldn't have filtered down to the likes of Gold and they could have put this story to bed very easily.
If it's the latter then Spurs need to come out with a strong stance on this.
So if you don;t turn up for work one day, do you expect a notice be put up around your work place saying you didn't turn up for work without permisssion ?
What advantage do you think Spurs get from commenting ?
They don't have to do it directly.
Like I said, if they gave him extra time off or he was feeling "ill" they could easily get this out via the likes of Gold and there is no story.
The advantage for Spurs would be less potentially unsettling coverage around the club and less of an amateurish appearance.
Laporte is only on 120k a week until 2025. He's the only player from City I'd really want to come and fills a massive need.
Laporte would be the best player we could get from City but there's pretty much no reason he'd be motivated to come. None of their top players will be.
You probably have to look to the second string (Jesus, Ferran Torres) for those that would be keen on the move.
