Nathan Ake

Let's see if he pushes on when he's managed by the best in the business.

I have one Bournemouth fan in my phone book, asked his view and his words were “He’s quality, best player we’ve ever had”. Doesn’t usually hold back either, he’s not particularly fond of City.

Even better than Jordon Ibe?

 

[Jumanji]

Fucking hell he sounds shit

Nah he’s adequate for the squad. It’s just a weakness he has.

 

[The Pandorica Opened]

Err no, he's great in the air. Don't just follow stats

There's misleading stats, and then there's being in the bottom 25 in Europe at aerial duels. It's okay, all players have weaknesses - as I said, play him against teams who don't pose that much of a threat in the air and he'll be fandabbydozy.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Would this be a cover LB signing as well?

Hopefully not IMO. We need proper LB competition, so id like City to sign LB. Sell Angelino and Zinchenko.

Yep and Koulibaly* Rodri and Laporte are still big boys defending corner kicks.

Wait wait, we sold Sané for £45m and gonna spend £35m on this guy?

Wait wait, Sane didn’t want to play for us anymore and “this guy” does. So give me this guy every day.

 

[Coatigan]

if the papers are saying £35m, then that will be the rounded up figure that gets pulled when we are involved, probably including all bonuses.

Either way, good value for a young homegrown CB when 50m is the new 30m.

Wait wait, we sold Sané for £45m and gonna spend £35m on this guy?

Yep, and given the circumstances I think we have done well on both deals.
