He's taller than both Eric Garcia and Fernandinho who will both be spending a fair bit of time in our backline next season. He's like Otamendi, not massive but a good jumper which makes up for it.

No, he’s not as bad as Mangala but equally not great.Good. Let the rags sign him. Btw, is Tah a good ball-playing CB? I haven't seen much of him.

Ha! I never understand what motivates people to post such obvious bollocks on here, as if no one else has seen Tah play.

I am surprised that Maguire doesn't agitate a bit more for a move after all he could end up playing with Smalling !
There in lies the conundrum pay over the odds for a proven CB, or pay over the odds for at best potential. I have no strong feelings about Ake either way but there is nothing that I can recall about his game that has ever made me sit up and consider him a future City player.
This would be the same Ake that has played in Bournemouth defence that has taken some almighty shallackings from teams including City over the last few tears.
The irony is that I actually agree with the naysayers who feel Mags is priced to high. However, increasingly the alternative options outside of Maguire are decreasing or don't appear to be favourable. If the season was to start tommorow I'd feel a lot more comfortable about City taking a hit on the price for Maguire than starting the season with Ake as one of are CB's.
Bottom line is Ake or not it does not seem that City can afford to go into next season with what we've got at the back. As preseason approaches though it's looking more and more likely that this may be the option given the dearth of available options out there, Alderweirld aside.

Think our board have walked away. Leicester seem firm on their ludicrous valuation.

To be fair it's only ludicrous if they are left with a player they want to sell. If they can get 80-90 mill good luck to them if they can't and he stays I expect they will be happy with that too.
