His pace concerns me a tad but would still probably prefer him to VDV or Tapsoba....there's been nothing on this in weeks so presumably it's dead which is a shame. I think him and one on VDV / Tapsoba would've been sensible business.

You wouldn't sign Tapsoba and Laporte as neither is coming to sit on the bench. Tapsoba makes more sense as our top option and younger. If we can't get him and go for VdV then Laporte works well since VdV is more raw and maybe not ready to start yet. You could also maybe say Tosin if not VdV although age wise is OK he still seems a bit raw too. So Tapsoba or Laporte along with VdV or Tosin might make sense.

Probably in the minority but I dont want this guy.

Injury prone and how many players his age take a step down in Club and actually do well?

Yet another top player to City, how very boring. As for Laporte I'm OK with him but only if we fail on Tapsoba.

Let's be honest Laporte would be a huge coup. He's class.

I wonder whether he'll head back to Spain though

only reason I dont agree with this is because it is the thinking we as spurs fans have always had. When we start acting like a big club and having the quality this would give us on the bench and be able to implement some sort of rotation without a drop in quality is when things will have really changed
