[01cravend]

Been given the goal

 

[Irishblue93]

What a signing he's been

 

[dave_blue12]

What a signing he's been

A right fucking bargain

 

[Blue Llama]

What a signing he's been

Bargain of the year, after Haaland

 

[dronefromsector7G]

He just gets better and better

 

[wattle]

What a night to get your first goal! What a signing

 

[oldius]

He is getting better and better. What a bargain and what a player.

 

[MarsLlama]

Astonishing that nobody else wanted him.

 

[Revolver]

I remember reading earlier on in the season that Dortmund fans were apparently not sorry to see him go!!!

Well he’s been fantastic for City. What a bargain.

 

[yankblue]

Deserved that goal and happy it's been awarded to him

Akanji has been fantastic this year, he really has.

Not many players thrive in their first year under Pep but he's exceeded all expectations. And he's done it playing across the entire backline

 

[Project]

Rolls Royce

 

[US47Blue]

Echoing what everyone else has already said. Can’t remember the last time he’s had a poor game to be honest.

Not saying he’s as talented, but when you see some of the asking prices for these CB/LB today (Gvardiol), you start to realize what an absolute robbery this transfer was.

 

[MarsLlama]

I know he had a shaky few weeks in the middle of the season but I've come to really like and respect the guy. Been brilliant for 90% of his matches and seems a great personality. Give me him over a Cancelo any day.

Also, that mental maths thing he can do is absolutely crazy.

I'd love us to make more signings like him. Gamble a bit on talented players who haven't had the best luck but come to us cheaply.

I think the best way to praise him is that if Laporte left in the summer and Dias or Stones did their ACL in August, I'd trust Manu to come in and partner the other and we'd still win the league.

Outstanding in a team full of outstanding performances .

 

[footballmanager]

I remember reading earlier on in the season that Dortmund fans were apparently not sorry to see him go!!!

Well he’s been fantastic for City. What a bargain.

yeah, i dont know what it is but he wasnt nearly as good for dortmund. If he was we wouldnt have bough him so cheap, chelsea wouldve probably got him amidst their spending spree

 

[FantasyIreland]

MOTM contender again......this lad has blown me away with his reliability and his versatility.

Genuinely one of football's best ever bargains.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

That’ll do pig!

Yet another solid performance, capped off by a cornrow tickle into the net!!

Keep up the great work!!!

 

[MCFCFanTX]

One of our most shrewd signings. Can provide cover and perform in any defensive position.

 

[shemnel]

wow another good performance, he has grown very very well this last 4 months.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

First club goal. Touch of the Nigel de Jong about him. So happy that he scored. From where I was in the East stand, it looked like an own goal.

Our very own Swiss Army Knife.
