Nathan Ake

That’s irrelevant. Few teams can buy Ake off us now as he’s a valued squad player.

Even fewer teams will be able to buy Ake from Chelsea when he’s on more money for longer.

Do you remember Wayne Bridge, Danny Mills, Emanuel Adebayor?

Yes I do but we did find clubs for both Adebayor and Bridge (although we loaned Bridge out)

At the end of their contracts, yes.

If you think Chelsea are buying Ake for £55m for 8 weeks of game time, then you need to be certified.

Any chance Pique could be a short term option?

Ray will tell you whether we’re looking at him to play 12 games next season.

Ake has to be replaced, other wise you are going into a season with one Centre back that doesn’t have injury issues. Stones and Laporte both have injury issues throughout a season. Plus the World Cup etc. you would then be relying on either Laporte or Stones being able to go a full season without an injury

Bridge we got nothing for but Spurs did pay money for Adebayor. As for Ake it would be for the season but after that they would be looking for better.

Lol. You need certifying.

OI!!

You seem to be clairvoyant on Chelsea, I guessed you might be for us too.

Good luck in finding one.
