Potential? He was one of the best cbs at the most recent World Cup mate. That’s a hell of a lot more than potentialDoes mean diddly squat. Gvardiol is still potential only at the minute.
Fuck knows. Ask agent RayCTIDHim forcing a move out?
He didn’t outpace him, he out dribbled him. Which you’ll find Messi has done to the best cbs of his generationHis lack of pace is a concern,36 year old Messi out paced him at the World Cup. We need pace in the team
Who did in that World Cup? Going by your logic we should sign Romero or Otamendi as they’re the only ones who didn’t get embarrassed by MessiDidn't look too clever vs Argentina. RB Lepzig will hold out for another season. If he was stupid to sign a contract with a release clause that doesn't kick in until 2024 then that is his problem.
Overrated. Isn't any better than what we have got.Who did in that World Cup? Going by your logic we should sign Romero or Otamendi as they’re the only ones who didn’t get embarrassed by Messi
I thought he looked slow against City too, certainly off the mark anyway.He

You're telling me he isn't better than Akanji and more reliable than Stones?Overrated. Isn't any better than what we have got.
I am geniune. He isn't worth breaking the bank for. If he was he would have moved last season. As I said in another thread we probably bring a defender in but not necessarily Gvardiol (no one really predicted the Akjani signing)You're telling me he isn't better than Akanji and more reliable than Stones?
I luv Ake but he's primarily a left sided CH so i think we should be buying a couple of fullbacks/wingbacks for next season.The issue is stones is made of glass and pep likes a left footed cb. Also pep persisting with the 3 at the back so its not enough just to have 4. Maybe hes coming in instead of a left back and ake is now the full time left back?
I agree we need fullbacks. I might just be sceptical around us actually going and getting them. Especially with this new formation.I luv Ake but he's primarily a left sided CH so i think we should be buying a couple of fullbacks/wingbacks for next season.
We need a pair that are going to overlap, be legimate threats going forward and be able to put the ball in the box.
We also have our own young CH's - Doyle, Mbete, Harwood-Bellis, who could be given a chance and used for cover also.
Be surprised if we pull the trigger this Summer. Reckon we’ll wait for the 2024 release clause to kick in and go against the other interested clubs. Like Haaland. (Avoided 2021 bidding war to get in 2022)
chelsea? they were already interested. not sure he would choose us when his release clause kicks in. he strikes me like a madrid player. could be ramos successor.115m is an insane valuation and I can't imagine us (or anyone paying that)
