I just looked back at your recent posts and nearly all of them are negative and critical: flaky, poor, possession based crab football, erratic, mid-table at best. I hope you are okay. We are all blues here, and this seems to be a very pessimistic set of posts.

You didn’t need to look back on my posts i would have told you how poor I think he is . We are looking to be the best team in the world and you think that arkanji will fit in that team . Can I not I not be critical of a player that clearly don’t rate ?
 
that non-homegrown quota isn't looking amazing, and if we're playing actual fullbacks next year there will be a lot less minutes for the CB's. (Even if Stones is going: Dias, Gvardiol, Akanji, Ake, Khusanov, reis for 2 spots is too many.)

4 probably what you want. Reis loaned and Reckon Pep might opt to keep one of the midfield vets and sell a non home grown CB instead. Akanji the obvious option, was very poor last season.

That wasn't the point I was making. I was asking you if you were okay because of the continued negative slant of your posts. You can feel what you feel about players, of course, but I can also reach out and ask if you are alright. I should have done it by PM actually, so I apologise for that.

No one was happy with last season. Not Pep, not the players, not the owners, and certainly not the fans

New players, new DoF, new coaches, new era. Clean slate. Let’s fucking do it
 
Pep should tell him to go and have a holiday. I know he played with an injury, but for me, he shouldn't have because he was scared of putting the effort in! He had his operation, then had what was it, six weeks’ rest! So him not having that hunger to play now tells me he will be better not going to the club World Cup.

Just seen him moaning about the Club World Cup, first player I’ve seen doing it. He missed a lot of the season through injury the lazy fucker.

He's played more football than most in the last 18 months and played through injury for most of the season because his peers at his position couldn't stay fit. If anyone is allowed a moan, it's Akanji.

Nah, fuck him. Khaldoon said the other day everyone is well up for the CWC as they should be. Akanji is pretty much tapping out of it. If I were Pep I would be leaving him at home. We’ve got enough cover anyway. I’d rather Khusanov and Reis have his minutes.

Yep! Pep, Hugo and Khaldoon are not going to be happy reading that! Tell him he can have time off with that attitude!
 
The club need to have a word with him it is not the right message to be giving out particularly as the Chairman had said something very different. To be honest I thought he was smarter than this so perhaps he thinks it is time to move on & wants to keep his fee low

The chairman didn’t have to play for months through injury or have surgery this season though, did he?

We all had a big “I told you so” about the amount of football being played when Rodri went down, but we’re gonna crucify Akanji for it?

what next, Bobb complaining of the CWC?

What's the logic of comparing a kid who's been injured all season and probably begging for any minutes to get some match fitness to a guy who's been playing all season through injury after a quarterfinal finish at the Euros?

Time to move on methinks. Nothing to do with the CWC comments, more the fact he’s lost at least a yard since the treble season and is generally weak as piss.

Hes never been good enough IMO. Yep played a part in the treble and as you say , weak as piss.
Pep likes him and in a way that means everything, but ive always felt hes one of peps blind spots.

As part of the rebuild id like to see him go
