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

[Rammy Blue]

Not quite sure why we need 5 centre halves

Because at least 2 seem to always be injured?

 

[chaddblue]

As it allows Ake to play LB when needed and the other 3 CBs are injury prone.

Maybe.. or maybe the new lad can play full back as well?

 

[better dead than red]

What Vinnie Jones?

Could be worse, he could be similar to Phil Jones.

Not quite sure why we need 5 centre halves

Injuries to Laporte and Ake must not be confidently to be resolved before the WC especially as both will 100% want to be in their WC squads so won't want to come back until certain to be fit.

Deal also to be had now as could sign on a free elsewhere if we waited leaving us with less options.

Top speed last season :

Akanji: 34.38 (km/h)
Gvardiol: 34.57 (km/h)

Gnabry: 34.76 (km/h) not bad.

seems quick for a CB at least, decent pass stats and def. stats etc

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Seen him play around a dozen times, quality with the ball at his feet, has some pace for a CB, has played RB.

Good signing.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

is he any good?

City seem to think so..... Good enough for me.
