Nathan Ake

Tkiki is in talks with Barcelona about a deal for Ferran Soriano .... fee believed to be 35m + 10m in add ons.

If it is Khaldoon Al Mubarak then we are seriously in the shit.

 

[jimharri]

As long as we don’t get our pants pulled down it might be a surprise success. We did want him before and although hisform is awful, the red shite have ruined the player.

Is Pep trying to coach the England team through City?

Did he mention a fee?

It was over the phone, and the reception wasn't brilliant, but it sounded like 70m (may have been 17, as I said, the reception was poor).

I hope it was a dodgy line at that price. Someone somewhere is laughing their ass off at that business. Just when you think Txiki has got his act together. Gotta be a joke.

Rather have bony back in defence.

Bajkowski has said about replacement. We don't need an expensive backup, why are people demanding the big names of a defender when we don't need that kind of player? Be creative, find someone cheap, versatile, but good as a backup. Why are we making the squad thinner than we don't need to? It makes zero sense.

Because if they are cheap, most likely they aren't good enough even as 4th choice.

I think Guehi at Palace. He is young , had a very good season last year. Already featured for England. Good statistically. He could be acquired for a similar fee to Ake.

 

[waspish]

I’d say £45M reflects that.

We don’t need to sell Ake had 3 year left we dictate what we think is the right fee and 45m ain’t that..

Exactly that.

 

[youngbob]

Would be fucking bonkers to get rid just when he's coming into his own.

Unless we've got a replacement lined up.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Would anyone think Guehi would be a good fit ?

I do. Impressive composed and decent on the ball. Don't want Ake to go though.

Guardiola has suggested Man City would regret selling Ake amid Chelsea reports

Nathan Ake has been linked with a Manchester City exit this summer, with his former club Chelsea the latest to be connected with the Dutch international - but the Blues would need a big offer to consider selling.

£35m bid from the chavs is derisory and insulting.

Yep because he is fourth choice they think they can low ball us well we hold all the cards even if we tell Ake he can go but only if we receive the fee we think is right!

American Chelsea has arrived.Roman would have splurged 120 on both players no problem.

 

[RayCTID]

In Chelsea's case with Abramovich he wouldn't of given Tuchel more control. The likes of Nathan Ake and Raheem Sterling wouldn't of been considered.

I don’t either but I think Guehi would be a good fit

 

[LongsightM13]

Pau Torres... Left sided as well

Too slow, too soft, too expensive, too important for Spain to play fourth choice here. Not a chance

 

[LongsightM13]

Would anyone think Guehi would be a good fit ?

Not anywhere near good enough on the ball for City. A half decent defender though

I think he could be as good as Ake on the ball.
He is in the high percentiles of passing stats among defenders. He could be available for around the same fee as Ake - he is only young and could easily be trained up to improve on the ball.

Totally agree.

 

[Tb1981]

We overplayed for him at the time.
If we can sell for a profit and re invest I wouldn’t be that arsed
I don’t think ake at Chelsea would worry me too much
