Manuel Akanji | City close to £15m agreement, 5 year contract

[Chi-town blues]

1m 88cm according to wiki and transfermrkt. 6 2 ish.

never mind , i prefer 6 9

Checked his stats and he’s played decent number of games last 3/4 seasons, so certainly can’t be much in the way of injury problems.

Give it time lol, you know the drill with our CB's

Wonder if Haaland was asked about him?

‘Yes boss, he bullied me off the ball in training’

Txiki picks up the phone.

£15 million for an unknown is pretty scary . The £20 million we have paid has to be accounted for . Going out and blowing £30 million on Dortmunds fifth choice centre back is a gamble especially as the £40 million price tag could be used elsewhere .
But, ultimately,if Pep and Txiki think he’s worth £50 million then the £60 million price agreed is a bargain.

Love it!

I know its only Fuckyoutube but not bad at all.

Big unit and pacey, just how CB's should be

 

[Gumzy97]

Dortmund fans are actually happy that he is off

Yea because he wanted a very high wage to sign a new deal. Guys rapid for a centre back and strong. Still raw but Pep can get the best out of him

Surely Gelson mate

Try rhyme gelson with Akanji so

BVB fans seems mostly delighted with this deal. Apparently he was seen as a weak link and they were worried he'd see out his contract if inter didn't bid for him.

That said,I seem to remember him having a couple of good moments against us in the champions league (if I'm thinking of the right player) and he looked comfortable coming into midfield. Pep could well have a plan for him which involves Rodri cover to allow Phillips to press an duse his energy further up.

Pep decided after this weekend we're not nearly good enough defending set pieces.

I'll take the quotes I shared above from a pay media site over what I presume are randos on Twitter.

Genuine pace once he gets motoring. Something we sorely need.

With this signing we can move Stones to rb and move Kyle to rw or cm.
