I was just suggesting that if we have the extra 25-30mill to spend on someone, I'd rather see it go on a better CB... Laporte and Roma would be an awesome defensive pair capable of playing 10+ years at high level together...i agree laporte probably has a higher ceiling but his stats are virtually identical to musacchio. plus musacchio/de vrij are more experienced which is what we need right now. i think romagnoli needs a real leader next to him in order to shine as 2 young cbs may not work. also, i'd prefer to invest the extra 30m we'd save on laporte on filling another position. but don't get me wrong, if we signed him i'd be over the moon. it would show some forward planning for once!
