Nathan Ake

Aken if we get him could be a very good bit of business (if he settles and if he can understand Peps philosophy)

the swap and 20m ?

I guess you could label that into the category I was referring to. Not for me.

Fair enough.
The transfer went down as a £60m+ signing in the media and you were talking about how the club didn't want the image of 2 £60m signings, which is exactly what we got.

Not exactly. There is a pretty big difference between spending the money outright and trading an asset to cover two thirds of the fee.

Did you not read what I just said?

We got the IMAGE of 2 £60m+ signings, as that's how it was reported in the press.

My bad, it didn't click.

Reading it back I probably could have phrased it more clearly. Sorry about that.

Not at all, it made perfect sense.

I fucking hope not. 60 goals against for the last 3 seasons is a bit shit. A quality defender would put a hole in that figure.

By the same logic, Stones and Ota are world class defenders who hold us together.

Maybe they ate in a team that doesn't defend on the half way line
