Let’s leave it there. That makes no sense and we’re going round in circles as you aren’t clairvoyant, however much you want to be.You can as well.
If you were, you‘d be a very well paid director of football somewhere.
Same for both us at the end of the day. It is still a discussion board. You have the same amount of knowledge as me. Not any better not any worse.Let’s leave it there. That makes no sense and we’re going round in circles as you aren’t clairvoyant, however much you want to be.

It is, but it needs to be based on some form of rationale.Same for both us at the end of the day. It still a discussion board.
Knowing how Chelsea will think in 2025, when their owner has only been in place about a month seems a bizarre hill to die on.

Some good shouts in Hermoso and Martinez. I didn't know Martinez was in his last year. They'd both be decent if they wanted to come. Weirdly Spain's NT has more left sided CB's than right. Laporte and Torres would probably be in before these 2. If anything it could enhance their chances esp. Hermoso.I linked two this list a couple of days ago.. in the It's Quiet thread, left footed CBs
Transfermarkt - Advanced player search
See if you can find some gems there.. most of them are starting to go though lol.
Some suggestions I read earlier on like L Hernandez, Gvardiol here is realistically like 70, 80m.. except for Hermoso that Atletico wants to shift.
One suggestion I have for a kinda stop gap for a few years, like 2, is Inigo Martinez, a very good CB from Bilbao that has a contract that runs out next year. Has always rated him highly.
Chelsea are an ambitious club and as useful as Ake is he isn't quite good enough for being a regular is my point that I am sticking to. Chelsea may not recoup what they have paid us but they can still move him on for a good fee after a couple of seasons (I don't think Chelsea are not to be paying him silly wages) is my second point.It is, but it needs to be based on some form of rationale.

If that is the case, they won’t fork out £55m on him.Chelsea are ambitious club but as useful as Ake is he isn't quite good enough for being a regular is my point that I am sticking to.

Ake is a personable guy looks like pleasant to be around, but maybe his biggest problem is his biggest asset, he's just too nice.
Keep him or let him go I am easy either way.
