Jamie Redknapp

And you can see every time he comes out of the pitch and, you know,

I hope he's over his injuries now because he's an important role for what City want to do for the rest of the season.

I don't want to be disrespectful to John Stones and Otamendi, but when Laporte plays, you can see...

The quality goes up massively.

Sometimes when John Stones and Otamendi play together, you don't know who the real leader is.

But when Laporte plays, you can see who the real leader is on the pitch.

how will he work that do you think would it be fernandinho and laporte or would fernandinho go back into midfield instead of rodri i just think fernandinho is a little bit more mobile than rodri i think he does a good job rodri but i think fernandinho does a better job in that midfield um ottomendi looks a lot more calm when he's with laporte and he's a center off yes you know fernandinho for as well as he's done

You know, he's a centre midfielder at the end of the day and Otamendi, you know, for his form up and down, I would still play him along with Laporte at the back.

Well, he's just, he's incredible.

He keeps raising the bar.

You said off air, Jamie, he's a modern-day Scalzi.

He passes it in.

He doesn't admire his pass.

He goes in.

He got a little bit lucky with a chop there.

I think Bernardo was meaning that for himself.

Gets a little bit lucky also with the deflection.

I think it's Cresswell there.

But when he's on the pitch, he's just, he's head and shoulders above any player on the pitch.

And I've played with David Silva, and I didn't think David Silva...
