Chelsea's clause expired a few months agoThe Sun (I know) are saying united and Chelsea are interested in Ake. I wonder do Chelsea still have a buyback clause?

If they buy Harvetz in addition to the Ajax winger and the German striker, I am not sure they buy will be spender over £35m on a fullback.
Maybe raise cash by selling Kante (?)
They're definitely getting a LB, seems like Telles, Tagliafico and Robin Gosens are the ones they're being linked with. I don't know how much they'll cost though.
I think they'll sell Jorginho, Lampard dropped him for the Scottish kid until he got injured.

Fair enough, forgot about him. Clearly not wanted.

Ake is a decent enough defender. The problem that he will have is that people will (rightly or wrongly) compare him to Kompany. But given time, playing/training alongside better players and under Pep's direction, he will undoubtedly improve as a player. So on that basis, I think he will represent good business if he comes to City?
Fortunately the City management team don't react with the same knee jerk reaction that fans do. They would have known months ago what profile player that needed moving out and the type of replacement needed. That is the same reason why fans on a board doesn't work as there are many facets to running a successful club.I wonder if we'll have second thoughts after tonight defensive performance about who we'll sign

We have to shift some of the dross out that we have before we buy any more dross that we wont be able to move in 2 years time. We need a top class central defender not a player who is a stand in, I'd rather keep Stones than spend good money after bad bringing in a bench warmer.
