Nathan Ake

[Gumzy97]

Probably won't happen but if we got 50 or 55 million for Ake, Koundes release clause is 65 million pounds. Can play as an orthodox right back and centre back wants to leave Sevilla as well

 

[I'm Blue]

Shame if he's off but at least by the sounds of it we've put a deadline on it.
Chelsea would drag this out as long as possible to delay us getting our replacement in (see Raz)
I know it's a long transfer window but the sooner replacements join up with the squad and get playing time the better.

Shame he was just starting to be “Pep” player last season! Think 50m+ is a fair fee he did have some injury problems when we needed him the most!!

 

[Kippaxpete]

even their first names are almost identical, Josko is a variation on Joseph.

Ha, I hadn't spotted that!

The club have known Sterling was leaving long back, Chelsea gave him his medical on Friday(?) and already apparently agreed personal terms. That's hardly dragging it out, there's getting on for 2 months left in the window.

Come on PSG

Just 100m and he is yours!

I didn't know that about Kounde. He'd be the one for me. Rapid and has the leap of a salmon, reminiscent of a young Micah.

Doubt he'll come though given competition for places.

As per reports, Tuchel prefers Koulibaly to Kounde

Barca ia always there, but don't know if they can get him, so he may not have that many takers

 

[Rammy Blue]

Yep, think he's gone. We have given Chelsea a deadline to come up with an acceptable fee or have told them to forget it.

They are running out of options and we need to make our own moves.

Would not be surprised if this is our biggest ever sale, certainly this summer.

Not even announced Raz though yet! What is the hold up on that one do you think?

 

[RayCTID]

Kounde would be good but I am not sure what assurances he has with Deschamps.
