Nathan Ake

[Scottyboi]

A red shite who's certainly got far more insight into the club than most of our supposed 'ITK's on here.

Ah yeah called loads of stuff bang on hasn't he.

 

[Gray]

Am I the only one who has a problem with his height: 180 cm?

He seem strong in the air but would never win a duel against Van Dijk I’m afraid.

Faster than Van Dijk who is a bit of a plodder.

 

[willipp]

You can't really compare because most of the aerial battles our defenders are in are in space. they punt up a long ball, our defenders have time and space to attack the ball.

With Bournemouth a lot more of it is back foot defending from standstill.

Yeah true, and in reality im not sure how many of the goals we concede are from crosses, not that many. What sticks in my head is that we concede goals on the break and against pace, so if he is quick then that will really help.

He is a red **** who pretends he is in the know.

Supporting United has nothing to do with it and what he posted there is not bollocks, it's pretty obvious information to anyone who has been following along.

Whatever your opinion on Sam, you picked a weird tweet to criticise.

 

[OliMCFC]

Considering the majority of City reporters have said we want two CBs, Sam pointing out Ake doesn't affect Koulibaly (or another CB coming in) isn't ridiculous. Everyone and his dog can see we want two cbs. One left footed backup with versatility in other positions, one right footed starting partner for Laporte

Has pace. That's a huge positive considering we play such a high line.

It's the fact he makes out he knows our shopping lists ect he doesn't just piggy backs information off everyone else online it's not hard to do.

Exactly we have been so slow at the back this season and it has cost us.

 

[blueparrot]

He doesn't know any of that it's just pure bollocks.

Don't know if he knows or not but makes complete sense.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Not sure he's what we need, but lets see -- good luck to the lad.

We need 2-3 80 million pound players, not 5 or 6 40 million players.

 

[FCBarca]

Why would you want to ship out Garcia?

Hard to see why Eric would want to stay

 

[Scottyboi]

I think he will be more suited to La Liga than the prem.

Why would an 80m player be a guarantee to succeed?

I think it's pretty naive to assume that after years working as a Manchester City correspondent the guy would have the exact same connections as the average bloke on bluemoon.

Laporte , Koulibaly , Garcia , Ake

No. reason NOT TO STAY

Hopefully , extends soon

if he can kick a ball on his left foot its what city need at the back hahahahaha

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I can think of a few. Whether or not he will is another question.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

They are not, but they are that next level above that we need - to compete on all fronts.

Well he's left footed so can play instead of Laporte or at left back. We need a right sided centre half though.
