Nathan Ake

[Alan Harper's Tash]

My point is we overpaid for him at the time, did we really think that he would be sold at a real, not book, profit?

I have no idea, but probably not. We probably looked at it as a worthwhile investment over the timeframe of his contract.

Is this advanced or not?

It's imminently advanced.

Or is that advanced imminently?

Making it imminently imminent?

I think its difficult for Pau Torres or Kounde to accept being 4th choice CB when they start every week for their teams.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Agreed, plus £45m+ for Jesus and £50m for Torres in January too, aswell as the monies saved on wages with Dinho and Sterling being big earners. Then to get Haaland for only £51m - great business by the club!

Now just get a top left back in and i'll be well happy going into the season.

So what you’re saying is we have a good chance of beating Liverpool to the ‘net spend trophy’ ?

Not really, when you think shite like Maguire went for 80 million plus

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

If Ake goes & we do sign a 4th cb i hope that player comes with the attitude of fighting for a 1st team spot. Like the other 3. City need to buy as good as we have.

Games missed injury

Ake - 27 (Just at MCFC)
Torres - 8 (Career)
Kounde - 3 (Career)

Either is gonna be invaluable with that sort of record

Not in any way a point made in this, but I remember when Ake signed a people were raving about how he rarely gets injured (in comparison to Stones, at the time). The ironies of life.

Did Stones himself get injured this much at Everton? Didn't follow him closely enough to know, but I do wonder.
