Nathan Ake

I view Ake and Stones as job sharing one of the Centre Back roles. With both being homegrown there’s no point in selling either.

Not a bad way of looking at it tbf

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.

Can’t we sell them Ake…but send them Akanji?

Levy would never know…

Everton pushing like mad to get a deal done, no idea why we'd let him go another twist in this shambolic transfer window.

You'd only let him go if you're planning to replace him right now. The bigger picture, however, is that he doesn't form part of our long-term plans, so I suspect the club are happy to get any players off the books if their contract expires before 1st July 2027 and there are no plans to extend.

Would make zero sense to let him go bearing in mind we would only be able to replace him with a HG player and he can cover two positions (admittedly only when fit).

Fuck me, we really are skint ha

The problem was they were on a job share but for most of last season neither one of them was available.

Your a wumming rag

Provides cover on the left for both Josko and Ait Nouri and is good enough to push both of them out of the starting line up. Injury history is obviously a complication and his relative lack of pace would also be an issue if his positioning wasn't top drawer.

Would be a mistake to let him go

No, he isn't good enough to bench them, especially Gvardiol.

With Akanji having left, I doubt we can afford to let Ake go, though.

 

[lee_wsm]

Can he play right back

 

[jaiguruKun]

Can he play right back

Not the worst idea, at least he can defend unlike the other options we have there.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Nobody can doubt his commitment, he has cleared many times off the line, and scored a few from corners etc. Apparently popular in the dressing room. Keep him I say

But they were injured. Now they are fit.

But they were injured. Now they are fit.

For how long is the question.

Hope this didn't get done. 4.7m is a piss take (again)

£4.7m? For Ake? Where did you see that?

This is why Alanji was always the most expendable of the 3. They all had their qualities and weaknesses, but #s always supported the position he'd most likely be the one to leave

Was a headline off newsnow. Everton trying to get it done before DD.
