Nathan Ake

I wanna wear a rasta wig in south stand so I'm all up for it ;-)

Fully aware my opinion counts for absolutely nothing but my preferred options for “3rd choice” centre back would be:

1. Keep Otamendi
2. Aké £40m
3. Maguire not for anything over £60m though

No. 3 is a no go. Leicester just rejected rags 70m bid.

I know, was just including him to indicate he’d be my last resort...

I don't see why we can't keep Otamendi AND buy Ake.

It would allow us to cope with inevitable injuries as well as allow us to go 3 atb more often.

Think he’d be a great signing for us. Much better value for money than Maguire.

Not sure how true they are but there have been a few reports suggesting Otamendi would look to leave if we brought in another centre back due to lack of playing time.

Fair point - I’m also against shoehorning players into positions that aren’t their favoured position so I guess with 4 CBs we’d be less likely to see Dinho or Rodri (if he signs...) there and they would be allowed to stick to what we pay them for

Be funny as fuck if we announced Maguire and got him for 60m.

He'd be better value than Maguire. Not as good a player, yet. But it'd be interesting to see what Fraudiola could make if him.
