Cancelo, Garcia, Otamendi, Zinchenko or Angelino, or Mendy.
I'm wondering if that would be the worst defensive back 4, in the history of English top flight football.

Has anyone seen Ake play LB at the Nations League? How did he fair?

Still a loan, but this time with an obligation. Obviously need to wait to see what the final deal is, but as written in the following it's a pretty poor deal unless you're getting a huge sell on or something.
No more loan deals, if they want him they'll have to buy him they've got money from the Werner transfer

Average I reckon, could have done better for the Italian goal

Defensively better than anyone we've had in living memory imo, considering the Dutch defence was as badly organised as ours.
But he's basic going forward & personally, I think it's a bad idea having centre backs running up & down the wing, as they are not built for it or used to it.

Not too concerned about the finances here. The club will know how much they need to bring in. Might have made the calculation that it's worth keeping Leipzig onside for the future, they are something of a talent factory.

I hope that's a one-off cause I already have my hopes up on him
£28m for ollie watkins a player only proven in the championship, and yet we're negotiating to sell angelino, a champions league team of the year player for €20m. nah fuck off

Don’t know why people are finding negatives here - this is what the buy and loan system is all about. Players do well and we flip for a profit, which pays for the rest and every now and then we find a diamond for the first team. This lad wasn’t the diamond but €20m is bloody useful.
I think the negatives are that as fans WE can see we need a new partner for Laporte, a dominant player, a player who is not only good already, potentially great, but can get better, and we are selling RB Leipzig a defender they want, for a fee, when we could give them money and get a player WE need for one THEY need and seem like we know what we are doing, instead of looking like the amateurs we are at this Transfer lark....a player Leipzig will lose next summer anyway (Upamecano) when Bayern or United come calling and pay his release fee, that kicks in next summer.
