Was it Harold Wilson or Mike Yarwood?Said it once, will say it again.
IF (and its a big IF) we decide he is definitely the one we want then we will get him AND at a price we dictate (within reason)
ADL won’t miss out on selling a 29 year old asset as his value will severely depreciate when he hits 30.
We are in control of this deal, not ADL.
I think the club are rightly very wary about such a big outlay on someone who may only have another couple of years at the top.

He has actually played an entire season in the Premier League at full back, when he was at Watford.
Ake is a strange case - he was a DM when he was at Chelsea (in the youth team, and in his very limited first team appearances), then a full back at Watford - and only started being played regularly at CB when at Bournemouth.
He was 21 by that stage, so had spent his entire development career to that point being played anywhere but CB.
Given how Pep asks his full backs to tuck into central positions when we're attacking up the pitch, Ake has all the attributes to fill that side of the role perfectly.
He definitely won't provide the attacking threat Mendy has in him, but against teams where we want a more solid defensive option, he'd actually be a very good choice at left back.
I will watch him closely against Barcelona on Saturday.
If he has a horrible game then its over. We move on.
Or he delivers a clean sheet managing the defence and scores two headers. Then De Laurentis will raise his price.
Don't worry about his age hes a machineSaid it once, will say it again.
