Nathan Ake

I'd rather we keep him if he can be convinced to stay. We wont be able to buy better for whatever Chelsea pay in this market IMO, they wont qualify for home grown and Pep will have to start again with another CB teaching him the system. The end of last season proved 3 CBs is not enough for City(amount of games, style of play) and that the academy lads aren't quite ready to be relied upon in the PL yet.

The only way it makes sense, is if he really wants out and it doesn't sound like he does.
If Ake does want to leave and I have not read any reports that he does then I am sure that Pep and the club will not stand in his way if the right offer comes along. Ake impressed last season and I hope he stays.
 
Unless we have someone else coming in, I just don't see us selling Ake.

Even with Stones, Dias and Laporte we have seen that it's not enough over a 60 game season - hopefully!

I think any replacement for Ake would be a similar player I.e. not De Ligt because he would want to be first choice.

Unless Ake is looking for a move (possible due to the WC) I just don't see why would even entertain the idea.

You said it yourself, Ake will leave possibly because WC. He wants to assure his spot on National Team for upcoming WC.

The price we pay having a whole squad good enough to be an Internationals for their respective national team, for lot of them having a regular spot in National team is more important than being benched in successful team like our for Euro and WC.
 
Think Doyle has more experience in “real games” than Mbete I would like Pep to have a look at him in preseason..
Have a mate who supports Sunderland and he was very impressed with Doyle last season. Lot of potential and definitely worth keeping an eye on.
