Manuel Akanji | City close to £15m agreement, 5 year contract

[1Basti]

We have Spurs at home in 2 weeks, lets say Dias picks up an injury and we're left with Stones & Mbete.

That's a lot to ask of a young kid with no experience. Akanji has plenty of experience, is a physical presence and Mbete gets a good loan to the Championship, like Doyle, McAtee and Delap got, all of whom are highly rated.

same could be said about Lavia...I would trust Mbete...if he makes a mistake than so be it...our team is strong enough to compensate errors...but it doesn´t matter...Pep would rather play KP,Walker as a CB...same goes to this guy..

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Maguire rarely gets injured?

You've not seen the X-Rays of his head have you ?? ;)

Did we play 3 at the back in our comeback against palace? Maybe Pep really liked what he saw so now we sign Akanji to play that formation.

He did I believe around the 61st minute. I think the team looked great- and all of the last 3 goals cam after. I really think this is what Pep is doing. It solidifies the D- enables him to utilize fullback sin a more attaching role as well as tinkering with other players in wing back positions.

What a wife he’s got, his groin strain’s are probably picked up indoors

Mine was and I was only ‘looking’ at a picture of her ;)

Me neither but my lad says he's fast :-)

The Hubble 'space' telescope could work.

Nope. His head would cause a blockage in the Large Hadron Collider.
