It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[samuelyeboah]

We'll be the same number wise I'd imagine. Out- Sterling, Jesus, Ake, Zinchenko?, In - Alvarez, Haaland, Phillips, Cucurella?

We must be getting a Chelsea player in return.

Having said that the press do have a tendency to exaggerate stories.

 

[blue oli]

Looks like Jesus, Ake and Sterling are the 3 then

IF Ake leaves it smells of a replacement in defence for me, James would be brilliant but doubt Chelsea are going for that so maybe from further afield - rumours starting to circulate of interest in a CB elsewhere

 

[Gumzy97]

Here we go :)

Fuck off , leave Ake alone

 

[argyle]

Didn't think we'd let Ake leave has he can play in two spots, CB and LB.

Especially as there are rumours Zinc might be leaving?

 

[Don Corleone]

We’re having a Football Manager summer

 

[CityBluez]

No chance we are letting ake go. Zero. Nada.

Think you may have entered the wrong room, think you may need arguments which is next door.

It doesn't need to be an argument if everyone involved can remain calm when having opposing views.

 

[Shaffer92]

Probably sees an opportunity to be higher up in the pecking order and starting LCB in a Chelsea back 3..


Getting someone in to be 4th CB is not easy though.

I remember in Ake's welcome interview him saying something along the lines of not drinking a sip of alchohol while he's still a player as he doesn't want any regrets. I'm sure it was killing him not playing as much as he'd ideally like this past season. I do fear Chelsea could turn his head as they've got opposite our current depth at CB currently.

Very disappointing with Ake going (especially with the squad depth) but if there were any players going our direction Reece James would be good swap; more than likely it would be cash only.

Who said he's going?
Some serious flapping going on.
Even if Chelsea are daft enough to throw 60m at Ake, Pau Torres release clause is about 10m less and he's a better player.

There was rumours of us interested in De ligt

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Here we go :)

Ake is in a very different situation to Sterling with three years left on his contract.

There’s no need to sell this summer.

But as ever - if he asks to leave, we won’t force him to stay.

 

[CityBluez]

Ake 55M + sterling 60M. Chelsea are going to pay us around 100M for our substitutes. Either Chelsea has become a dumb club or It's horseshit info

Ake is our 4th choice CB after Dias, Laporte & Stones

& our 3rd choice LB after Cancelo & Zinchenko

So getting the 40 Million we already paid back is not a bad thing to do

Rodri can be our 4th choice CB and Kalvin can fill the DM

 

[samuelyeboah]

All 4 of de ligt, dias, stones and laporte are far too good to be 4th choice

I am not flapping but I am not dismissing rumours either(even if he had stated he was staying). We could hold on to Ake a bit longer but if he really wants to go then their is no point in stopping him (providing they do meet our valuation)

Nah chelsea should pay way over the odds here. new owners, american tax. he's homegrown for them so that counts for a lot, plus they are desperate. 60m.

Newcastle evaluation for ake was 50 mil. For Chelsea its more like 55-60
