for me id have the following:

Ake
Koulibaly or plan B
Torres
Left Back - (Dont know much about Alt-Nouril at all)
Harvetz

then there is Ezzy with his claims - Almada would be great if it came off.

Steffan in for the GK second sport

For me that would be a very good summer

Then there is Auaor bu that seems to have gone very cold

Grelish however can do one - esp for the 80m being quoted -he is utd signing if I ever saw one.

Out:
Zincehcno
Otta
Sane
D.Silva
Garcia

Dream summer for me that pal. David leaving aside obviously.

I hope we get a proper, physical-defender cb sorted before everyone else joins the market & things get stupid.

Otherwise it will mean relying on John Stones then having to put Fernandinho there, again, next season.

Aké is an incredibly physical defender if you watch him and not just look at his height.

I'm actually more worried about him being overly aggressive than anything else.

I agree, but he's not a Kompany or Van Dick, doesn't dominate the air & he's left sided.

Dominant in the air is redundant in our side because the defensive midfielder is the one who contests long balls with the forward, Pep made that change after the massive Everton loss in 2017. The defensive mid challenges the striker, and the 2 CB's drop off to pick up any runners trying to pick up a flicked on header or knock down.

The number of incidents where a City CB has to actually challenge a CB in the air to stop a goal is miniscule. We almost never concede from corners, and Aké is actually like Otamendi, better than a lot of CB's 3 inches taller.
 
I never have a clue about Tolmie’s videos. If it’s any of Felix, Havertz or I can’t even see this as an option MBAppe the it would be one great window even without another defender coming in.
