6 | Nathan Ake - 2022/23

[WestGorton]

A very good defender and our most consistent.

 

[FantasyIreland]

When Pep returned Ake back to the left Saka didnt get a kick , that's twice in a couple of weeks he has had an excellent right winger in his back pocket, proper defender.

Exactly

The back 4 also gave the rest of the team proper foundation.

 

[wolviedinho]

Deserves the recognition and praise. He can be relied upon. Excellent player.

 

[Dialog]

If that bogus penalty wasn't given.. he had a goal line clearance there!

I think since his been at City he has cleared 3 or 4 goals. The kid is solid, one of our best!
Definitely the best 41M spent!

Mr reliable , should stay lb

 

[LongsightM13]

I wonder if Chelsea now regret not paying our asking price in the summer, given their subsequent splurge

 

[Brad mcfc]

Very reliable, comes across as a nice lad too, great to see him get recognition.

 

[Bill Walker]

He's not a LB, but he's a superb LB... 10/10 Nathan

 

[Withnail]

Another masterclass performance in defending from Ake last night. Saka didn't get a look in once Nathan switched to lb.

I like reading opp forums when we sign players from other PL clubs.

Reading Bournemouths they all loved him, wished him well and expected him to succeed.

Always a good sign

They signed Cucerella instead for £68m , we definitely dodged a bullet there.

I always do the exact same. Ever since I read the Leicester forum when they were giggling about somehow getting £80m off United for Maguire while Jonny Evans, who United flogged in 2015, was their best CB.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Ake has been far and away our best and most consistent defender this season , and should be the first on the team sheet defensively , Ake and three others until the end of the season , and consolidate the back four.

 

[Silva2021]

New contract being offered!!

Well deserved, let’s hope he signs.

Boy
We’ve got Nathan Aké
Nathan Aké
A long time

 

[FantasyIreland]

Stones and Laporte out tomorrow.

Him or Akanji or both to play.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He’s a bloody good LB. Not perfect, but we’ve had years of make-do LBs and he’s as good as any we have had.

Delph - Hard-working. Safe. Bit dodgy defending.
Zin - Great in possession. Susceptible to the ball in behind.
Ake - Average in possession. Hard-working and very solid defensively out wide.

I think he is a much better LB than CB.

 

[Double R]

I want to see him play left back every game for the rest of the season. No more pissing about, chopping and changing.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Top class again. Great signing.
