Aymeric Laporte

[Barcaman]

I, for one, applaud Athletic. They only play with Basques and it's only natural for them to be protective of their interest.
They are unique example in top football and I can only wish them the best.

 

[Learo]

Money for what? As Alarcon said, they don't need it for players.

They do need it for wages though.

But Basque country is the richest region of Spain. Its a fairly rich club. Thats why its hard to buy their players. I think Atletico Madrid and Bilbao are the two biggest clubs in Spain together with Barcelona and RM by quite a big margin. Buying players from big clubs is always difficult as they can demand extortionate sums of money.

 

[Deco 20]

Valencia are just as big. But they're having difficulties now.

 

[Metaphysical]

best Frenchman since Lilian Thuram.

Barça not signing him is a complete and utter moral failure.

 

[La Furia]

best Frenchman since Lilian Thuram.

That's because he's Basque, the only thing comparable to French-Africans in awesomeness.

Too bad Athletic are actually rich as hell.

if Deschamps picked a team full of Africans, Muslims & Basques I'm 100% certain they would win the World Cup.

 

[Myrmecophile]

I've watched every match Laporte has played and he strikes me as an athletic but tactically naive player.

I'll have to say pass.

Varane ?

 

[Tomchin]

Varane ?

Pogba?

 

[Metaphysical]

Varane ?

Varane is not worthy.

Baudelaire, Cantona, Thuram, Laporte.

the four greatest Frenchmen of all-time.

 

[Metaphysical]

Pogba?

Pogba would easily make the top 4 and top 5, but he's a filthy merc in the thrall of Mino Raiola so he's disqualified.

 

[La Furia]

Varane is not worthy.

Baudelaire, Cantona, Thuram, Laporte.

You forgot Boris Diaw.

 

[Frejsgodes]

You forgot Boris Diaw.

More like forgot Ronny Turiaf.

 

[Myrmecophile]

Turiaf is kind of human garbage.

 

[Frejsgodes]

But he's prettier than Joakim Noah.
