How did we nab this guy for £15m? Answers on a postcard to....

Akanji, Alvarez, Gomez and Ortega for less than £50m is outstanding from Txiki and co.

That's well over £100m worth of talent right there.

You would think looking at his performances so far he has been at City for years, looks very comfortable and looks a bargain at £15m

Except he wasn’t 15m. He was dragged here kicking and screaming like most players and we paid his agents and him 75m in brown paper bags from Abu Dhabi to persuade him to come to us…

For me this guy is way ahead of ake and with Laporte coming back we are strong in this area
No wonder we were winning to let Chelsea have ake for a decent fee

Shush. You don't want those lovable scouse gentlemen to know that, do you?

Not sure we'd have been in the market for another CB if it wasn't for the injuries over the backend of last season and the start of this. If it is the case that our hand was forced it appears Txiki has played a blinder.

going by peps recent decisions it looks like he’s won a starting place in the line up. Kudos to Akanji, many wrote off this transfer

Passes at 1:01, 1:55 and 2:18 are beauties

Just read on the post match thread that he was a liability.
I don’t want to live in this world anymore…
