Nathan Ake

[Plain Speaking]

Do you believe that you believe in the fairies!

Not sure what you think is so hard to believe? Can you be more specific? There were rumours Pep may extend, hopefully they are true. It's all crystal ball gazing but perhaps I can explain further?

I think we will move stones and Zinchenko on but will have to keep hold of otamendi until his contract runs out unfortunately, Ake can then be back up for Mendy. We will have plenty of cover at CB then and Laporte has played LB for us and didn’t disappoint if my memory is correct

It is a myth that players are good in multiple positions,defenders are right or left footed,seldom both

Ake can play left back or left centre back though, has played both positions. Plus if we get Koulibaly he is two footed.

The thought of us losing Laporte if Pep goes.

This is generally true, but Pep does like players who can play multiple positions because of the shear amount of games, rest, rotation and injuries. So we see Dinho playing CB and in midfield. Cancelo on the left or right. Laporte has played LB and Phil all over the place. Even though it may not be their best position it's sometimes needed.

Think the fact we are linked first to Alaba, now Ake it sounds like we want a player to cover both centre back and left back, we know Pep likes intelligent players and it’s usually the intelligent ones that understand whats required in different positions.
