Farewell interview

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

As a matter of interest is he able to play in the champions league this season?

No, he can’t. He’s injured anyway at the moment. Did his groin blocking a certain goal a few weeks back.

Great signing this, I think he'll be wonderful in our team. Very very good defender and decent in the air too, just what we needed.

I think he will be a great signing. I know Bournemouth aren't a nice team to watch against us but they do try to keep possession and I think Howe has done an unbelievable job there.

I came across this link by a Chelsea fan who compares Ake to Laporte, Koulibaly, Ramos and another well known defender and he rates Ake highly...

He will be a great signing for us and in 6 months he will be seen as a bargain, just as Laporte was!

Some even suggested best ever, which is pushing it as Jordan Ibe has played for them too.

Couldn't help but LOL on reading this AHT.Those scouse comments are still comedy gold!

Interested to see if pep puts him in defensive midfield now and again

He always wanted to do that with Stones but it ultimately didn't work out (the loss at home to Palace in 18/19...) so he may give it a go eventually.

Nice signing, great to see our transfer department doing wonders again!

 

[ChicagoBlue]

I’m wondering if we are looking to play some more 3/5 at the back next season?

I think we just found a nice LB option, too, if needed in a pinch.
