#6 | Nathan Aké - 2021/22 Performances

[M16 citeh]

Never had an injury before joining us and now constantly injured. Needs to get back on the inhalers!!

 

[kaz7]

He’s never fit. That’s an issue. Few decent games and injured again and never seem to be from incidents in games

He twisted his ankle whilst coming down from jumping up for a header , could happen to anyone

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

He twisted his ankle whilst coming down from jumping up for a header , could happen to anyone

not me. I don't go up for headers.

That’s this injury but he’s been injured regularly since joining

Having never been injured at all at Bournemouth. Not much use being a backup if you can't be relied upon, sadly. We bought him because we didn't trust Laporte's fitness but as it turns out Aymeric has thankfully been fit nearly all season while Nathan has really struggled

Shame because Aké has been excellent when called upon this season

 

[WallyA]

No not you, you go down for your headers.

He had the long injury last season , that is it i think , they all get niggles when they return from a long injury , doesnt make him injury prone

You did also say never from incidents in the game , this current injury was a bad landing during a game..

 

[Blu1]

Let’s not forget Ake. Brilliant season

 

[The Pandorica Opened]

Unsung hero of the season.

Granite when needed.

 

[jaiguruKun]

He's an excellent player. I hope the speculation about him leaving is just that.

 

[Shaffer92]

Was bossing Lukaku before he went off. I wonder if a bid comes in for him.

 

[RayCTID]

I hope not he is still a useful player to have in the squad

 

[Shaffer92]

I hope not he is still a useful player to have in the squad

I agree but I imagine he wants consistent minutes.

 

[RayCTID]

I agree but I imagine he wants consistent minutes.

That is the only issue but I doubt we will let him go this summer. Especially with the injuries to both Laporte and Dias. Give him until the January transfer window

 

[penalty spot]

Could see him reunited with Howe at Newcastle.

 

[richards30]

£60m minimum fee if he wants to go

 

[JDV]

£60m minimum fee if he wants to go

Agree. We paid £40m + £20m for the experience gained working with Pep.

 

[flook]

With rumours of the possible departure of Laporte and ongoing Johnny Boulders injury problems it seems ludicrous to consider letting Ake leave unless he is adamant he wants to go. Top player with lots of premiership experience and convinced most doubters at the end of last season, give him a new contract and some playing time Pep

 

[Keeper!]

The situation with Ake is a strange one.

Sat on the bench when we had serious CB/FB issues at the end of the season, rumours that he was carrying an injury, yet within 10 days of the end of the season is playing for his country.

A falling out/ lack of trust with Pep?

Ake certainly impressed last season when he played. Very good back up, but with our injury record in central defence and the number of games spread across all competitions, if he stays he will start plenty of matches. I hope he stays.
