Nathan Ake

[Rodri’s ACL]

This guy seemingly knows a lot spurs-wise

 

[cleavers]

Tell them to fuck off.

£80m and he’s theirs

£115 Mill for Sav and Nath? Seems to have a fantastic ring to it!

He'll know that Levy and co are total cunts and to be avoided when it suits them then.

 

[Skrastins]

Mixed feelings rn with him going

Good player, has been here for along time, is home grown

dude is injury prone, last season missed half the season

if we sell Akanji and Ake, then we will have 4 CB for this season, well knowing Stones we have 3,5 CBs for this season

 

[Whether or not]

Ake is a cracking player when fit. Stones is a cracking player when fit. But both are very injury prone, and not getting younger. Having both in a squad is dangerous, if as last year, they each miss half the season. It would be sensible to move one of them on, and that is most likely to be Ake.

All very true, but moving Ake on and not replacing him would make things even more precarious. Neither he nor Stones can be considered to be reliable, so losing one just puts pressure on the other.

If we moved him and Akanji on, we’d have to recall Reis or sign someone. Wouldn’t be averse to it but the smart decision is probably to keep him for another season.

I'd be down for selling if we can sign another.

Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol & John Glass could leave us short

i think if we move Akanji, we sign a RB

Rather bring Bah home, Reis looks very very raw, Bah looks an absolute beast.

Not sure if Bah has a return clause tho.

 

[richards30]

Is Ake leaving then?

I agree entirely, and my comment is in the context of Pep wanting a small squad. So, if one has to go, it is probably best it’s Ake. Personally, given the demands and games, I wouldn’t be letting anyone go, and I’d be recruiting further. But that’s not what Pep wants.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Unless we're signing the Palace lad, moving Akanji and Aki on could be suicidal

 

[King Jay]

Pep will be the first one to cry when everyone is injured again and that there are too many games. Loaning out Reis was the right decision though. He needs to play all games needed. Doesn’t matter if Girona concedes 2 per game. All experience in Europe.

Agreed a big risk with both Stones and Dias's injury record.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Has been a good player for us, but he looked like he was running in treacle on Saturday.

His association trained status is a complication, but if moving him on improves the financial scope to bring in a top class right back, then it’s probably the right thing to do.

Unless we could bring Bah back?

We can’t
