This guy replaces Laporte and Cancelo. With the way we play now and Stones doubling as a deep mid why in the world would we get rid of Ake? There would only be 6 guys on the squad playing in that modified back 3, Dias, Walker, Ake, Akanji, Stones, and Gvardiol. Rico is not for that role and neither is Gomez.

Tbf the quote from Soriano, repeated again this weekend, is ‘no decisions on Monday’ rather than deals

Yep, the same as not buying a car built on Friday.

It might sound a bit harsh after their contributions last season but if you take our CL final team (including Foden and Walker as subs) the two players who are a little weaker than the rest are Akanji and Ake.

If Gvardiol is as good as some are saying he'll strengthen an already extraordinary team.

Yes that sounds extremely harsh.

I’m sorry but if this is true- what even is the point. They have made it clear what they want. They’ve already raised 150m euros in transfer sales so far this summer. They don’t need to sell him. I get we have our valuations and I have no issue with that I just don’t see the point in bidding under other clubs sale figures continually and then walking away when it was always obvious what would need to be paid to get it done

Is there a danger of a Croatian clique in our dressing room, thought it's been something we've looked to avoid. Especially as Kovačić said in his interview he doesn't know any of our players which seems a little unusual.

Give it a week and Erling will programme in a Croatian accent to go with the Yorkshire one it's all part of his AI data base upgrade for languages .
