It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Well we repeatedly said Ake doesn’t leave until we have someone lined up. So, expect we will
be announcing someone soon. :)

Just hope they don’t ignore the lb question to focus on the cb-issue

Reported when Spurs and Chelsea were interested early in the window.

And @Mr-Mertle

Just fyi, the only link I had previously seen had 43m. I have no idea what is or isn't the asking price or how far away a guess is, just pointing out what was in my mind when responding and where the difference comes from.

I get it, but that release clause wouldn't be active this summer anyway so it solves nothing.

Ah. Thank God for that. We did it Blues. Another off season nearly completed. Friendlies start a week on Wednesday then its community shield & off we go again. Will be good to get back to watching games rather than half of us on here killing each other.

I doubt this is a real quote but hilarious if so. In retrospect it was a little fishy how easily we let him go.

It’s apparently true. He’s reliable for Barca reports

I don't think it will happen but I don't see the problem in bringing in a top centre half to replace Ake if he leaves.
May mean that either laporte or stones drops to 4th choice and wants out next summer but so be it. That's the way to improve a squad. Let them go and bring in another top centre half and repeat.

City will probably use 3 at the back more often next season too. It won’t be hard to convince a top cb to come in. City have Pep and the top level team that anyone would love to play for.

Example, Pau, Spanish, would probably love to play under Pep and with his national team partner, Laporte.

Only reason I would say no to Kounde as an Ake replacement is that he can be a bit of a hot head.
