If they bring in Ramos then that means Laporte is most likely leaving. He reportedly told City that he wants to go back to Spain and is unhappy with his current role at City.City attempting to buy ANOTHER CBso who they dropping then? Stones who has completely turned it around gets benched?

Nope, just a muppet like the rest of us.
Using feminine nouns or pronouns to deride or ridicule men has been a no-go in polite society for a while now.You're a bit touchy
Edit: I've been infracted for sexism??
Fair enough, really. Had he still been in or near his prime, I'd want them to swallow their pride, but he's 35 and has recently done his knee. Schweinsteiger soured me on picking up aging legends from other big clubs.
There's only one Iceman
Called him a queen. Hilarious stuff.
If so I’d honestly explore looking into signing Laporte as he was the best centre back in the league outside of Van Dijk until last season, left footed and approaching his prime so actually worth paying top money for.
It's this all over again, history repeating itself...
35 years old, won the lot, needs money (and alot of it) due to bad investments, used us to put pressure on Real on multiple occasions during contract negotiations. We should look elsewhere in my opinion.

Good. Even their mother was in on it. "Irreversible decision" my ass.
Yeah, feck Ramos
PSG are the only side i can see giving him whatever he wants. Perhaps he will go PSG, then Miami or something.
Much as its a shame, dont think we will see him play in the prem.

Avoid please. If this was like the Cavani situation were we needed a back up or a stop gap till Greenwood grows or more top strikers become available then I'd say we should consider it. But we dont need a stop gap or back up and there are some good CBs available for decent prices that are long term solutions.
Which would you choose if its between getting Ramos and a DM or getting Varane/Kounde/Torres and no DM
The first, certainly.
PSG, Inter or an Italian side, or United. Could also see Arsenal or Chelsea going for it
I'm sure this point has been covered, but do people really see him coming in to the team and not trying to be the "big man", he won't want to be led by Maguire, he'll want to be captain, take penalties etc. I just don't see him being a personality fit at all in a team that currently has a great balance in terms of different characters and team cohesion.
Plus it reeks of bringing in a player who will far exceed the types of wages we really want to pay.
He'll be off to PSG almost undoubtedly, should focus our efforts elsewhere on a longer term signing for that position.

he won’t be “the big man”’at PSG and certainly won’t be taking penalties.
Yeah same here despite his age and the obvious pace concerns
The first because IF Ramos stayed healthy and IF Cavani stayed healthy we may challenge. We won’t challenge without a DM regardless imo. The issue with that though is what if we lose out on our long term CB taking this approach?
We should buy him and United should go on to win the CL finals against Madrid
A lot on here would back this behaviour though seeing as many are butthurt themselves over it too!
Easily Ramos and midfielder like Locatelli. We could easily do a summer of Ramos, Locatelli, and Sancho.
I could totally live with this stance IF Varane was leaving too however convinced he is definitely staying now, despite what happened back then we should at least find out what his intentions are like we did with Edi before completely rejecting him
I don't think he speaks English as Ramos can barely speak proper Spanish with his andalucian accent (ala Kane).
He will try to secure the best financial option, not so much he is 'Big Man' but securing his playing time. Only City, PSG or China (if they still have money) are viable options.

A nice and very polite farewell, perfect to return to the club in a few years
Without belittling, I would rather see him in a "classic" club
Well yes, when everyone knows your agent, a bad sign, and everyone knows René. It will be strange to see him at PSG/City.

I think he earns 14 net. It will be difficult to find teams. In any case, Thiago Silva is two years older and is at another level
He is too proud and vain to be irrelevant. He will want to regain his position in Spain and show Madrid that they were wrong.
Again, it's highly unlikely he'd be cheaper than Pau Torres/Kounde actually, for next season at least
He’s played with Ronaldo so I’m sure he has no problem not being the “big man”
& not taking pens.
Virtually impossible unless Utd are willing to bury the hatchet with him and his agent brother over 2015
It depends on his wages. He's better than any centre back United have, so yes.
A player used a club to get a new contract. Who cares. Move on for the good of the team. Everyone uses United for a new contract, doesn't mean you cut them out altogether.
Completely agree with you but think Utd won't be willing to compromise their principles on this one
Great player with a great winning mentality. Definitely have talks and see what our medical team think after thorough examinations, then maybe a 1+1 deal.
Upgrade on Lindelof

A club like ours needs to have some self respect.
I would rather have him than varane.
It would save us to go big on a CDM and or a CF.
We can then spend time looking for our LCB.

He's slow, and Maguire is slow. Do you really think that's a good combination? He also has had a few injuries this season if I'm not mistaken so he's really getting on.
