Nathan Ake

[salfordbluetrue]

Signing Ake is a no for me he is a good footballer which Pep likes he is not fast enough to play the high back line but is intelligent enough to compensate for it he is not tall enough but that would not bother Pep either, the big problem is he plays on the left and we need a right sided CB to replace Kompany, and before anybody says Ottamendi can play RCB, no he can not every time he played there he was shit, which is why i would go for Salibla he will eventually be CT has match time and is going to be a good player

That would only be 20 million profit on a player who is interesting both us and spurs. Sounds unlikely.

Interesting that Chelsea have a buy back option which they couldn't use right now because of their ban though.

 

[Fame Monster]

Not good enough for us

40m is a piss (T)ake

£20 - £40m is the going rate for a decent Premier League player. There is a premium for being young and qualifying as Home Grown. So he is at the top end of the scale but it is not a crazy price in this market.

Yeah but Daz still think its 1972 and you can sign players for handful of crisp £1 notes and a few jars of lager. 40 million is entirely fair enough when they paid 20 million for him and is probably about what Chelsea's buy back clause amounts to anyway.

IMHO a better footballer than Maguire

I think the same, but I don't see where he fits in to our side. We really need a right sided player who could replace Stones when he gets injured/out of form.

Has there actually been any link to sake for us. Can’t say I’ve seen anything outside this thread.

 

[Bluescholar]

Just let's hope not, he's fuckin rubbish, in my opinion that is!

Fingers crossed this is total rubbish, this guy is average on a good day.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Telegraph reporting that we have some interest in Nathan Ake.

You’re overlooking the Pep effect

 

[richards30]

Ake back on the radar?

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Just because we have Pep doesn't mean we should be spending silly money on above average players. In my opinion the best solution would be to replace Otamendi with young foreign CB, rather than splash out on stupid money on player like Ake.

Bournemouth will want at least £40m, this late in the window probably £50m.

Ruben Dias would be a great choice for now and long term

Well with the scum splurging 85m on Maguire ake be 60m he aint worth it or good enough!

Said it before Mings for 26m is a bargain

Not sure Mings would be a bargain at £26 to be honest.
