It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

I don't mean to be too direct here, but why is it that you have information that the Aouar deal is done, but Sam Lee, the journalist who writes for The Athletic doesn't?

Just curious, that's all.

Sam lee is a know nothing ****.

My friends here who’ve seen Ake home & away as Bournemouth fans see him having the same ceiling as Van Dijk. In as much as he’ll take our defence up another level. From my time at the Vitality his calm and class on the ball set him apart.

I think he can be good addition, but the problem he will be only back up CB playing in cup & whenever Laporte is injured.

Would love to believe that, he's a great addition to the squad but nowhere near Van dyke level, hope I am wrong.

Feels a daft way to think about it, I never understand it - why do you think this, because he’s left footed? He’s pretty sound on both.. nevertheless Pep likes to rotate and play people all over the shop. Ake will get his chance alongside Laporte and if he grabs it, they could easily become an established partnership.

But would you settle for Isco?

Maybe

He didn`t say he is, just that they think he could be.

I know, I don't think he will get anywhere near VanDyke.

Can they play together as 2 CBs ? or it has to be one left footed and one right ?
