Nathan Ake

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

He'd be the perfect replacement imo. Can cover CB and LB, young and very promising.

Also gonna be about 60m

Also gonna be about 60m

Yeah very costly.

Shame we can't get Vincent on loan from Burnley

Saw Calvin Bassey mentioned on twitter. He was the best player on the pitch in the EL final, granted that was the only match I've ever seen of his.

City and the new owners at Chelsea seem to have developed a professional relationship. I wonder a few Chelsea players would go the other way.

I'm not going to argue if we get a fair price but I do wonder why these deals are taking this long, when City have been more than reasonable with their valuations.

Sterling would be a bargain for £45m+ up to £10m addons, that should be out of the way by now, since I thought they had agreed terms with the player already.

What City want for Ake seems to have changed from £50m(which is very reasonable) to between £40-45m(it better be £41m+ which is break even for what we paid a relegated club, which would be seen as a favour to the player for me). Yet there are reports that the two clubs are "some way apart in their valuations". I seriously hope they don't think City should take a net loss on a player that has plenty of years left on his contract, who has improved since arriving at the club and City would be more than happy to keep. Hopefully that's just more of the typical press transfer BS.

Thiago Silva for a year as 4th choice?

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Looks like we are already looking for replacements for Ake. I’m expecting this deal to go through. Personal terms between Ake and Chelsea have been agreed , City are awaiting bid of around £40/45m.

Been a good player for us , rarely put a foot wrong. Hopefully we can replace him with someone of his calibre, let Txiki work his magic.

 

[Cityinmyheart]

Not a bad shout but I’m not sure if he’d want to come and be 4th choice when he’s playing every week.

Tosin is a local lad so can be closer to home. He will increase his wages and will have a better chance with the England team whilst being in our squad. Ake is regular for his NT despite being 4th choice for us. He will also improve as a player training with us and being coached by the greatest manager out there.

Chelsea are seemingly also quite serious about Raphinha and Ronaldo.

It's hard to see them buying those two and Sterling, so maybe they are leveraging the fact it's our last chance to get a fee for Sterling to lower the total package.

Please lord let Chelsea acquire Ronaldo.

That would be 2 of the “Big Six” he would ruin, and in consecutive years no less.
