Welcome Manuel Akanji | Signs 5-year deal

[oakiecokie]

Wow,does any other club have our depth of ability at centre back?

We have effectively 5 first choices now,and a glut of very talented kids banging at the door.

I think this signing has settled a few nervous heads and doubters.

I prefer to use the word "flappers".

Someone will be leaving after this season at CB surely, can't keep them all happy.

Pardon my laziness but with ins and outs, what does our numbers finish like for the window?

If this guy came in for 15 we are about 55 mill up. Kerching!

I don't,they had a point.Defending our title while trying to achieve the Golden Goose,which is the CL Trophy,would have been a mighty ask without reinforcement.

I can't see Laporte being here for his entire career. I'm not sure that anyone could afford him but I wouldn't be surprised if he left within the next two years.

Only a hunch.

Hopefully he can also play upfront as a striker to supplement the crap we have at the moment.

hi stuart Pearce

158 appearances for Dortmund must count for a lot, sensible signing and another talent in the squad.

Superb summer business by the club, great work from Txiki and Co.

May be more as Edozie is going to Southampton for around 10 million

Get them all hit and healthy first, that will be an achievement.
