Strange, we won the title with three top CB's and three subs the past two years. Or has the hyperbole reached the levels of "Ake is a top CB"?

Even crazier if they followed last season when barely 4 cbs were enough... :sAnd how many points would we have got if he had to play lots because of injury. I also don't remember a World Cup in the middle of the season when Mangala was here. I'm actually astonished that some think just 3 top CB's is enough for the coming season.

In fairness to Ray, he is not alone in making that claim. They all astonish me equally.
Not replacing Sterling, while I disagree, I can understand the logic to an extent.
Consciously wanting to go with 3 CBs, with the multitude injuries 2 of them have had, space in the squad, money to spend and over 50 days in the window left, sorry, that I just can't get.
Good luck in finding one who would be happy with the current circumstances and would accept that role in the team and one who has similar qualities to our current ones. It would be more easier if there is a place in the team for the new shiny CB signing.In fairness to Ray, he is not alone in making that claim. They all astonish me equally.

Ake is a very capable CB, who was playing well before the injury. We need to replace with at least the same quality if he leaves, I imagine the 3 top CB's is enough lot will feel a little different if we pick up a couple of injuries, and are shoehorning midfielder's into CB for big games.Strange, we won the title with three top CB's and three subs the past two years.
