Seriously though, who had honestly ever heard of Akanji?

I have seen quite a bit of him and he is prone to errors or at least concentration lapses. Thankfully we've not seen any of that so far, but I do think it's still in him. He was 4th choice at Dortmund for a reason.

Judge a player after a season rather than a few games.
If you have seen quite a bit of him, he must have played a fair amount of games for a 4th choice CB, no?
Last 4 seasons in Dortmund he played 25, 29, 28 and 26 games, again a solid amount of game time for a 4th choice CB.

In the champs league, he played 5,6,7 and 6.

Dropped because he would not sign a new contract and was now in his last year.
 
He, along with Gomez, already look like they've been playing with us for years.

He wasn't 4th choice last year played more than any other CB but went in to his last year of his contract but said we wanted to leave hence they replaced him for this season ! 13 months ago he was valued at 30m plus which is more like a proper price for his talents !

Indeed.
