Great signing - really good player. He will make a real difference.

I think this is a really good signing and willl Be a big step forward for our defence . Still could do with another centre half aswell but it’s been a good week

Saw a stat that said he wasn’t responsible for any goal conceded by Bournemouth. Given that clubs relegation, that’s some record (Stones and Otamendi chalked 13 between them - same stats) could be a really top signing

great signing, cant wait to see a solid defender that has a presence. Been the signing I wanted to see.

Welcome Ake, we do things different here !

Welcome to the club Nathan..

Is Stones left footed?

I'd say he was first rotation for Laporte myself, then again I could be wrong.

You know he’s not! But that’s not the point.

Everyone believed Stones would be Laportes partner in the future. He’s right, Laporte left. Both same age. But clearly he hasn’t lived up to what was expected of him. For me it’s clear as day Nathan Aké is John Stones replacement, given the homegrown quota.

Koulibaly/Carlos/Skriniar/Dias will replace Otamendi.

I have a good feeling about this signing.

 

[Akpowell]

Welcome Nath, ive always wanted him to play for City

 

[flook]

finally, excellent signing, been wanting this since Vinny went

Bournemouth fans absolutely love him and I think we will too.
