Ake midfield type signing

Fantastic.

Aké is criminally underrated IMO. If not for Aké we don't win the league last year.

Nathan put in individual performances last year as good as, if not better, any of our other CBs did.
Most notably in the league away vs Arsenal, Leeds and Burnley as well as Atletico at home in the CL.

If Phillips can be a reliable back-up player, a positive dressing room influence and pull out a handful of worldy performances when needed (like Aké) then we've bought exactly the player we want.

I am a critic Of Raheem, but no way do I want him to fail miserably. His form lately suggests to me his time has run it’s course. I would gladly thank him for all he has given the club and to wish him the best in the future. That’s it, but it seems to be blasphemy to some.

Stone them!!!

I am delighted we have signed another DM as it was definitely an area we needed to reinforce.

i confess I’m a bit baffled why a full international would choose to come in as back up to Rodri.

I’m assuming they will share starting duties and occasionally we will start with both of them.

Now, get a left back signed.

Probably ends up getting a fair bit of playing time all said and done. And maybe the more obvious and possibly simpler answer is the club gets more attractive to play for by the year. Credit to them. Pull is getting stronger and stronger.

There’s no doubt about that. Our squad is starting to look scary good.

"a full international"

Scott Carson is a full international. So is Nathan Aké, so is Zinchenko, Steffen, Jesus etc. Eric García was a full international when he was here. So were Aro Murić and Bersant Celina.

In fact the only players in the current squad who aren't full internationals are Cole Palmer and Kayky, who are both youth internationals.

For everyone that says they would rather watch city than England well it’s soon becoming the same thing just one has a decent manager

Welcome!! I have always liked him. Hopefully he proves a few on here wrong!

Southgate must be loving it. It's gonna be like the womens international team soon.

Walker, Stones, Phillips, Grealish and Foden (and Stirling) all playing and training together every week.

Then he will ignore all the decent football they play, and play only two of them in a shit system

Ake midfield type signing

If he turns out as good and dependable as Ake is then I will be very happy
