I think we also played a horrible formation/style to fit his strenghts.
No pressing, only 2 in midfield when he's not the quickest. He isn't able to dribble which hurts in a 2 man midfield.
I think he's a good player in a 3 man midfield in a team that presses so I actually think he'd be a...
No one ever thinks our defensive midfielders are defensive midfielders its bizarre. PEH, Skipp, Bissouma all of them I've seen people say we don't have a defensive midfielder.

I certainly agree on Laporte but let's be honest we were never going to get 2 high priced CBs.
I will say - if not Van De Ven then who would people prefer?
If Tapsoba is 60mil, I'm not sure who else the top CB prospects are that would be realistic for us.
The only one that maybe sticks out is Antonio Silva at Benfica but he'd probably be more expensive. Not many top CB prospects that...
What? They can't lie about that... it's not like Norwich just come to ask for what they think it is.
Also where has it been said they have a sell on clause?
I do agree we should have sold him several years ago but who cares that he started a Champions league final 4 years ago? He hasn't featured for England in like 3 years.

Give me Reguilon all day over Davies.
