I'm surprised we are seemingly not interested in Ake.

Brilliant centre half that lad.

Christiansen is he home grown been at chelsea a while?

Any truth that we intend to play gundogan and rodri at dm and fern as a 3rd cb when needed tolm?

Think it depends if tolm fancies playing a back three or a back four, we will just after wait and see.

Ha ha appologies it was a daft question.

Definitely think that Otamendi will leave if we sign another CB.

It makes sense that it happens as well, as long as we have a decent 3rd choice. Fernandinho/Garcia is more than enough cover for the 4th spot - we don't need a £30m option for 15 games a season.

I personally agree with you but I think Pep does not have 1st 2nd choice etc. He expects everyone to be at the same level and play to his standards when called on. If they fail they are replaced.

With.

Interesting. Then I could see us buying expensive first team ready player (not de Ligt or Maguire) or more likely someone like Ake if the reported buyback clause could be sidestepped.

Foreign players are:

1. Ederson
2. Bravo
3. Mendy
4. Zinchenko
5. Otamendi
6. Laporte
7. Danilo/Cancelo
8. Fernandinho
9. Rodri (hopefully)
10. Gundogan (hopefully)
11. Silva
12. KDB
13. Bernardo
14. Mahrez
15. Sané (maybe)
16. Aguero
17. Jesus

So our centre back needs to be homegrown. The only way we buy a foreign centre back is if Otamendi leaves.

You know it’s going to be Jonny Fucking
