Ake's decision?, what decision?City have the same policy for basically everyone... it’s not based on Peps liking of them. They are obviously ok with letting Bernardo going if he got the proper offer. City offered sterling a new deal which was ok:ed by Pep.
There is nothing that suggests pep want Ake gone. All akes decision
It was reported at the end of the season the club were happy for him to leave, and the biggest evidence was his appearances on the bench with a defensive injury crisis, again rumors he was carrying an injury, yet he played for his country days later.
A very ordinary signing for me, one I did not understand at the time and after two seasons of watching him one I still don't get, a possible 50m transfer is simply a get out of jail card.
Watching him for Bournemouth he always looked underwhelming, neat and tidy but any decent striker would love to play against him and more importantly for us, on the ball he is very ordinary.
If Pep wanted him to stay why would he be negotiating and agreeing personal terms with Chelsea?Zero issue with your take on Ake as a player and signing.
It is your claim Pep wants him out I don't agree with, but that's your opinion and thanks for clarifying what you base it on, which for me is tenuous at best. Can't agree on everything.
So, Pep wanted Ferran, Sterling, Jesus to leave too? Pep even sanctioned the extension for Sterling, but he still wanted him out? Make it make sense. Are you new with city current transfer policies?If Pep wanted him to stay why would he be negotiating and agreeing personal terms with Chelsea?
Why is anyone lying all those things can be true. Pep would like him to stay, he has no issues about staying, but he's interested in what Chelsea have to offer and if we can get a fee and replacement we'll try and accomodate him. All said he might decide to stay and that's good too.If Pep wanted him to stay why would he be negotiating and agreeing personal terms with Chelsea?
Ake already publicly stated he was looking forward to another season with us, so someone is lying!
The club and Pep were more than happy for Ferran to leave, big profit and little if any loss to the squad.So, Pep wanted Ferran, Sterling, Jesus to leave too? Pep even sanctioned the extension for Sterling, but he still wanted him out? Make it make sense. Are you new with city current transfer policies?
Also, you don’t see why Ake would move to Chelsea 6 month before a World Cup?

no one said he’d be guaranteed anything. The point was you going around saying Pep “wanted” these players out is just factually incorrect. It’s not harder than that. It’s your own assumption.The club and Pep were more than happy for Ferran to leave, big profit and little if any loss to the squad.
Sterling was never going to renew and the club were reluctant to make an offer he could not turn down, so from what I see we have got 50m and a huge wage off the books for someone however good was going to walk for free next June.
Ake would leave for almost guaranteed game time at Chelsea, if he did not play for us with no CB's at the end of last season, what makes you think he will get game time this coming season?
Because deals like this take months, all parties knew the situation, if we received a suitable offer he could leave,Why is anyone lying all those things can be true. Pep would like him to stay, he has no issues about staying, but he's interested in what Chelsea have to offer and if we can get a fee and replacement we'll try and accomodate him. All said he might decide to stay and that's good too.
So according to you Pep wants him to stay?no one said he’d be guaranteed anything. The point was you going around saying Pep “wanted” these players out is just factually incorrect. It’s not harder than that. It’s your own assumption.
You clearly are on some tantrum here. Ake even said a few weeks ago that he was staying and then Chelsea came along with better terms. It’s not rocket science. He himself could’ve stayed but there are better terms at Chelsea. It’s been widely reported that City want him to stay. You are going around saying Pep wants him out, which is just incorrect. Now chill.So according to you Pep wants him to stay?
again if so, why has Ake agreed terms with Chelsea?
Pep wants him to stay, Ake wants to stay, if that's true why are Chelsea in the picture>? Your theory does not make sense.
Tantrum? are you taking the proverbial?You clearly are on some tantrum here. Ake even said a few weeks ago that he was staying and then Chelsea came along with better terms. It’s not rocket science.

Now chill.
Sigh... you understand what personal preferences are? Is it really this hard to understand a situation where Ake would like both but prefers the opportunity to play more at his academy club?Tantrum? are you taking the proverbial?
Ake is under contract so if Pep/City want him to stay why is he negotiating with Chelsea?
You need to understand what negotiations and leaving on good term is about.
It’s just back to it’s not black and white stay or go.So according to you Pep wants him to stay?
again if so, why has Ake agreed terms with Chelsea?
Pep wants him to stay, Ake wants to stay, if that's true why are Chelsea in the picture>? Your theory does not make sense.
sterling and Torres wanted out and sterling in last year of his contract. Jesus wanted to leave for regular football. Ake didn’t ask to leave and has time in his contract. In fact a few weeks ago was saying he was happy and looking forward to a good season. But, we are happy for him to leave. If you can’t see the difference….
Rarely deals like this take months, they can take a few weeks but they can also be done in a few days if they want. A player can be happy at aclub, Ake is, yet still be tempted when a opportunity pops up. Doesn't mean hes unhappy or that anyone particulary wants him to go.Because deals like this take months, all parties knew the situation, if we received a suitable offer he could leave,
We are a superbly run club, we look after players even if we want them to leave, it helps long term.

I understand the reality of a player deemed not up to standard by a manager.Sigh... you understand what personal preferences are? Is it really this hard to understand a situation where Ake would like both but prefers the opportunity to play more at his academy club?
