Nathan Ake

When was the last time we signed an older player that isnt a keeper, towards the end of their career for cover? Demichelis?
 
There was something a Brighton fan posted on here a few days ago that Bloom had once said and I thought it summed things up well. I can’t remember it exactly but it was something like…

There are only 3 or 4 clubs in the World who have a handful of players that are not for sale at any price.

I used this extreme example a few posts ago but say a club offered City £300 million for KDB and also offered to double his wages. Would both parties at least consider the offer? Would it mean anyone was unhappy? Would it mean City wanted KDB to leave or KDB was unhappy?

Players get offers from elsewhere all the time via their agents. It means a mutual parting might happen given certain circumstances but if they aren’t met everyone carries on as before.

If a club wants a player out they normally ask his agent to look for another club and tell him the player is unlikely to play again.

The two situations are very different.

Edit: Sorry I posted before I saw your big pencil.
No problem and I agree with what you say, but in the cases of Sterling and it looks like Ake, the partings are mutual and amicable.
 
De Ligt is the kind of player that would put immediate pressure on all three incumbents, but if that can’t happen, then I’d use Mbete and wait and see if Fofana at Leicester keeps progressing after his injury. He’s a little bit different from what we have.
