Not seen enough of him to know that. I like Ake but at left back. He’s reliable there, not good enough on the ball to be a centre half for us IMO.

Correct, and Araujo is too soft. Watch his performances against Bayern, he literally epitomises what Muller said about Barcelona. Don't want another Nastasic.
Stones was also 'soft' when he joined. It was one of his weaknesses, these things improve with experience and time. I'd even go far as saying most ball playing centre backs in the modern era are soft, there's only a few exceptions, re; Laporte who are equally aggressive and can switch up their game bodying opposition players. This is also why Dias came in so that there's someone a bit more traditional complementing Stones.Correct, and Araujo is too soft.

So if there's any argument, it's about whether we need him, or whether we get him if we lose Laporte in the summer. Just depends, I'm sure he won't be our only option if it comes to it.

I personally think Callum Doyle would trun out to be a better defender.
You may be right but unfortunately we cannot predict what's gonna happen with academy prospects, re; Tosin. Fwiw he's having a good loan spell is Callum. We also have Mbete who's consistently training with the first team squad. Will just have to wait and see.I personally think Callum Doyle would trun out to be a better defender.

Apologies for bumping this, but seeing lots of stuff infering this is going to happen. I assume it's agents manipulating again. Not as though we need a Centre Half.
