Pizy 18,909 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Amazing fee to pay for Ake and a great move for him. Definitely a Pep CB as well. Both Ake and Laporte play as left sided CB's so I wonder which of them will shift to the other side. killer1257 and Puliiszola 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giroud will have a field day King Kante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has struggled with injuries a lot the last 18 months and really hasnt made a good enough progression at City imo. Wouldn't touch him with a 12 ft barge pole if he was available. Barkley and Stones, 2 of the most average PL footballers about. Suppose would be comical if we did sign him... only 5 years too late or whatever when Jose could have moulded him into a better defender.

Pizy 18,909 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Damn, I remember Stones being the hottest property out there a couple years ago with us right on the verge of getting him. He was pretty damned good initially for City as well and I was pretty jealous of them. Now because of injuries and form I haven't even seen him in what feels like an eternity. Wonder if he can find his way back to Everton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep is going to start collecting short ass CB's, lol Garcia 1.82m (some sites say 1.83m but no way do I think he is the same height as me, he looks tiny on the pitch, like 1.80 or 1.81 max) Ake 1.80m (I think he is 1.78 or 1.79 without those locks, lolol) Alaba 1.80m Bayern will never sell him now but there were rumours he was interested in Lucas Hernández (1.82m) same for the now 29yo Iñigo Martínez (1.82m) OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valdo 583 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 @Vesper what happened to Belotti? I remember you being really positive about him a long time ago. I don't follow serie A, but I remember him having a great season and then I basically never heard his name again.

Next to an aerially dominant CB like Koulibaly I don't think he would be a liability. I'm not a big fan of him but he's better than Stones or Otamendi. He would be an excellent addition for them. As for Guardiola, you think he would have learned that you need tall and physical players in the PL especially after his first season's debacle. Leicester and Everton games come to mind.

With Dier it's more like he realized he's not gonna get better than Spurs anywhere else either so might as well sign? For quality players like Kane, Son etc. it's a different situation tho.

That team was the shortest I have ever seen. Valdes, Dani Alves, Mascherano, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Messi, Villa... 9 hours ago, Valdo said: @Vesper what happened to Belotti?

He just scored 7 games in a row including games against Lazio, Juve, Inter... 16 goals in Seria A this season, 22 in all comps... We do not need a striker but I do hope he moves to much bigger club than Torino. It is time for him... Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
