Nathan Ake

Maybe if we keep Zinchenko and buy Marc Cucurella we won’t buy another centre back if we sell Ake!?

He's got to fund that new fucking yacht......

He’s brilliant defensively but on the ball, he slowed us right down and wasn’t the quality needed. Really useful 4th choice centre back but if somebody offers £50m for somebody that far down your pecking order, you have to accept it.

No doubt he’ll be replaced too IMO given we can’t rely on Stones or Laporte to stay fit for a season. Interesting to see who comes in.

Ben Mee. On a free.

One step forward, two steps backwards. This transfer window doesn't look good.

It’s open for another 2 months…

I like this sale tbh. It’s clear we’ll only entertain it for over £50m, and I’d suggest that any club in the world that has a 4th choice CB worth that much should sell them immediately. It’s wasted funds really. Get a cheaper player who’s happy to not play so often and add the difference to the budget for the next big, key signing. It just makes far more sense than keeping him.

And give him the number 3.

Agree.
