Thought he deserved his own thread as he seems to be the only positive from our loanees at the moment.
All reports are that he’s smashing it at Burnley. Very heroic displays. He’s also captaining the England U21s.
Still only 20!
If Burnley do get promoted, I think another season loan there and hopefully if he does well he can come in to our first team and gradually work his way in. Stones with his injuries will be on his way out. Laporte may well want to go back to Spain at some point.
We could have a ready made replacement in the Vincent Kompany mould.
