Could walker not provide CB cover, possible option if LB strengthened

As well as Rodders and Phillips, in an emergency.

That said, I still think trying to get an experienced pro in at twilight of career will be our plan, maybe have another go for Bonucci?

We certainly don't want to be pissed about by them. If they are serious about signing Ake , they should sort out the negotiation over the fee and commit to the deal.

If not we hopefully tell them to fuck off and get on with our own business deals, and Ake has to stay which is unfortunate for the player if he really wants the move.

Bonucci would be a disaster. Look how Dinho struggled, Bonucci same age same problem. We play a high line hes not suited to

All of those are "we've got no other viable option so this is what we will have to do" solutions not a "this guy can play 20-30 times a season for us at CB" option which is what 4th choice is.

Yet Ake has 25 starts in the Prem, 3 in the Champions league and 3 in cups (so 31 overall) in his TWO seasons here....not per season

Given Dias had a bad time with injuries this year, Laporte had a bad time last year and Stones has struggled in both....you'd argue that Ake would've played even less

so maybe Ake not their only option ?

I wouldn't mind anyway - happy if Ake stays

There's no pressure or reason to sell Ake...its just a matter of IF he wants a move to Chelsea how much do we ask for and who do we get to replace him...otherwise he stays and we're good at CB...now let's go and get Cucurella...

He has to leave (loan or perm) and go play proper mens football. Hes clearly too good for u23 level but he wont get any better without having to go and play and experience it.

Strikers just feel different to other positions. Its all instinct and fine margins. He wont properly learn what does or doesnt work or what he can do or needs to work on in training (despite how good our players are).

Midfielders or defenders can get by with minutes here and there and slow introductions. Strikers need goals and you only get goals with prolonged minutes.
 
Looking at the official Sterling announcement by Chelsea, impressive how his hair has grown a good 3 inches since his last photos in a Chelsea kit yesterday and the day before. For most people that would take a few months, but Raz manages it in less than 48 hours.
