It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

If Chelsea do want him then we should absolutely pull their pants down on the price.

He was a lot better last season and had some good games, but his injury record was horrific and when we really needed him he wasn’t available for the last few games.

We need to sign a top class centre half if he goes - think we were linked with Bastoni recently?

Can see us playing with three centre halves occasionally next season, so we do need another if Ake leaves.

I've got a form of adult adhd which is different for everyone but one of the things I struggle with are things that aren't backed by facts or logic. I'll appear accusatory at times but it's a genuine confusion or curiosity to find the truth. When something doesn't add up (for me, which I'm aware doesn't mean it actually doesn't add up, I just might not of put it all together from the words put forward) I need to ask questions and piece things together. I can get slightly obsessive and see words like a web of information that I'm able to see all at once but if the bigger picture doesn't make sense I'll ask why.

The end result could be that I have anticipated a picture that isn't what it seemed. But I then welcome being told I am wrong. We all should. There's no way of learning if we don't.

But the answers need to be based on logic and facts and they need to be lacking in a fear of your questions. If I question something then don't shut me down without an answer as that shows fear of the question which makes you look false. Don't thread ban me. Answer me. Don't ban me from asking questions. Answer them, shut me down, tell me I am wrong and explain why. Educate me and anyone who's reading. Don't silence anyone who disagrees with you.

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?

Ake is a big injury concern. Why the flapping? End of last season when we had no CB who played in defence? Where was our back up centre half?

The player has improved and he seems a decent sort but his role in the squad is to push the starters and be available when said players are injured.

His injuries last season won’t stop existing next season. Take the money and find a suitable replacement.

Laporte, stones and Dias stay then I would not be worried. It was a freak occurrence last season.
 
I think Chelsea/Boehly personally is getting a bit desperate, they need a defence ASAP.. Hes never done things like this before, its stressful in the footie world and all the people has gone (he sacked em..) and hes probably sitting a room with the head scout and the analysts with a list of targets from the old regime and sweating lol.

Man has appointed himself as interim Sports Director and discovering its a very tough job if you want to be at this level.

Ake never had one injury before he came to city lmao. Also pretty sure his injuries last season were contact injuries so can’t really be helped
 
Don't forget we are talking about our 4th choice CB, at some point we've got to trust our academy. Luke Mbete and Callum Doyle, the latter especially, could/should be given a chance if Ake goes.

I don’t care if he was injured or not before he joined although I do recall he was out at the end of Bournemouth’s season prior to city purchasing him.

Last season he was out when the squad needed him. He can’t be relied upon. Take the money and reinvest. Fans have fears about players leaving, I trust the boss to make the right call and also to recruit a decent replacement.

I am glad we are finally changing the squad. Some players need a fresh challenge.

Harwood-Bellis could be the 4th choice CB if Ake goes. He won’t be, but I see no reason why not.

Hes England u21 captain and now had 2 years of mans football at Anderlect, Stoke and Blackburn under his belt. Had couple years training under Pep already so knows the Pep style and what’s expected.

Wouldn’t be the worst option In my view.
 
Even with Mbete signing his contract it is bit risky with putting pressure him. Harwood-Bellis is not a bad option but again he could do with another loan.
