It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[samuelyeboah]

We'll be the same number wise I'd imagine. Out- Sterling, Jesus, Ake, Zinchenko?, In - Alvarez, Haaland, Phillips, Cucurella?

We must be getting a Chelsea player in return.

Having said that the press do have a tendency to exaggerate stories.

Looks like Jesus, Ake and Sterling are the 3 then

IF Ake leaves it smells of a replacement in defence for me, James would be brilliant but doubt Chelsea are going for that so maybe from further afield - rumours starting to circulate of interest in a CB elsewhere

Here we go :)

Fuck off , leave Ake alone

 

[argyle]

Didn't think we'd let Ake leave has he can play in two spots, CB and LB.

Especially as there are rumours Zinc might be leaving?

We’re having a Football Manager summer

 

[CityBluez]

No chance we are letting ake go. Zero. Nada.

Think you may have entered the wrong room, think you may need arguments which is next door.

It doesn't need to be an argument if everyone involved can remain calm when having opposing views.

Probably sees an opportunity to be higher up in the pecking order and starting LCB in a Chelsea back 3..


Getting someone in to be 4th CB is not easy though.

I remember in Ake's welcome interview him saying something along the lines of not drinking a sip of alchohol while he's still a player as he doesn't want any regrets. I'm sure it was killing him not playing as much as he'd ideally like this past season. I do fear Chelsea could turn his head as they've got opposite our current depth at CB currently.

Very disappointing with Ake going (especially with the squad depth) but if there were any players going our direction Reece James would be good swap; more than likely it would be cash only.

Who said he's going?
Some serious flapping going on.
Even if Chelsea are daft enough to throw 60m at Ake, Pau Torres release clause is about 10m less and he's a better player.
