Nathan Ake

We have no interest in Ake.

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Is it only me then who thinks Ake is actually a great player? Playing in a decent team every week will see him flourish.

We have no interest in Ake.

How do you know that for sure? Close to someone at the club, or guesswork?

Stop hounding the guy! He isn't some post-2012 title City fan!

He’s a confirmed ITK on two threads though ;)

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

id rather have maguire. i think he would be a better fit and is more talented

 

[BimboBob]

Prefer Ake to Maguire. Especially at 30-40 million. Younger, quicker, good with the ball.

No brainer.

Pep himself pointed to the lack of height in our team as a weakness and that was before Kompany left.

Sterling is shit in the air as well, he doesn’t score headers ever. I guess we need to replace him with a big unit too eh.

Far more correlation than Maguire and the amount of goals he would potentially prevent just by being a big ćunt.

A good player that PEP will make better and save us 40 MILLION sounds like good business

 

[St.Pauli support]

Phew, I don't really get this line-up but looks really interesting!
Which one is Eddie though?

Being big generally means you are dominant in the air. A trait that will actually prevent a lot of goals.

Your attempt to make that fact seem irrelevant by saying Sterling doesn't score headers and should be replaced makes absolutely no sense and has nothing to do with our side requiring a bit of height in defence.

There really isn't any correlation. The way we choose to attack with 2 #8's acting as #10's to find space for wingers to provide crosses on the ground for tap ins. Opposed to how other teams will attack us with high crosses in the air.

Left wing.

Not really. A lot of big fuckers can't jump. Remember Tim Cahill?

don't panic I've heard were in for sponge bob he's got a massive head so should be okay

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Just out of interest, how many goals did we concede last season due to lack of height in our defence?

Think it was 7 at the near post ???

Tim Cahill was a monster at attacking set pieces. Doesn't make him dominant in the air, play him upfront vs Vinny and pump 100 balls up to him how many do you think he's winning? Vinny would win at least 90.

Look at the stats of CBs winning the most aerial duels by % bet there are none in the top 20 6ft or under. It'll be the likes of Vinny, Maguire, Van Dijk, Boly and Dunk.

No. Looks like there’s 5 of you.
