Always nice to get a signing late in the day. Although being a negative Nigel it seems something may be going on with Ake or Laporte.

Still think we should sign a left back though. A real head scratcher that we did not go for lodi.

Gives us more options on the FB positions and, strangely, in midfield. Because we could play with 3 CBs and wing backs (Cancelo and Gomes), which would allow Pep to rotate in midfield if needed.

Gomez LB - Go bomb on
Akanji/Walker RB - Slot into a back 3

Cancelo RB - Go Bomb on
Ake LB - Slot into back 3

maybe? or slot into def. mid and go 325?

Gomez & Cancelo gotta be better than Walker in there next to Rodri.
 
Whoscored had him rated as the 15th best player who got mintues on BVB last season, and transfer market has him valued at $33m.
It seems like a decent value signing, for a player who has proven he has worth at a top club and won't be moaning to the manager when he isn't starting week in and week out.

He is equal good as Dias, and one step futher better then the rest of our CBs. Proven experience
