OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Overall he has been poor. Made a good couple tackles but has been caught out defensively way too much. I actually think he fouled Ozil but play continued before Sanchez scored. He may have got a little touch but could have easily been called for a penalty and would have been a red. He also was skinned by Bellerin for the third goal, Decent start but overall has been poor tbh. Exploited way too much. He is not a natural LB tbh.A song I've been singing for a long time. Of the three positions Nathan offers, LB is clearly his worst. Reddish-Blue, BlueLion. and DYC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 A song I've been singing for a long time. Of the there positions Nathan offers, LB is clearly his worst.Agreed, something abundantly clear from his short stint in the PL. It isn't a "natural" position for him - but experience in any position is preferable to a place on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a bit shaky but it looks like he is getting better and better, Watford fans were pleased with his performances. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter 3,088 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I do not know in depth the FA rules for Premier League. That's why I have a question about Nathan Aké.Could Aké come back with us in the January transfer market breaking his loan with Watford?.I see practically almost every game of Watford and Nathan Aké is performing really well as left-back and IMO he might be a good addition to our squad in the January transfer market.And, if Aké return with us, maybe might be a good choice to send Patrick Bamford on loan to Watford for the second part of the season and so he can start having minutes in Premier League.Thanks in advance. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie paying Watford a tidy sum of money for their permission. supporter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccg 1,528 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Play him at his best position and all the years i've watched him , it aint lb! Ake,Ruben,Baker will have some fun hopefully in the next lot of years. Great planning again by Cfc, go out and buy a 17m+ lb who looks weak for the prem imho and hardly has kicked a ball. Where is the next lb coming through the youth? Since A.Cole we aint had a natural decent lb and we probly need somebody 6ft if Jose needs met,Luke Shaw would have fitted perfect but signed for the scum for the silly sum .

And free.It will not make a difference. He will not displace Deeney or Ighalo from the team. Then look at their other strikers. Diamaniti, Ibarbo and Oulare who are all more experienced and probably better than Bamford too. That loan would be a no go. I think we have to accept the reality is he is not going to get into a PL side. He might get a start against Palace in the cup game but then it will be back to square one. supporter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supporter 3,088 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I know it's hard to say now when we are in a dramatic moment in the table, with our poor performance / results, but perhaps giving Nathan Aké on loan to Watford It has been the best option for us looking at our future.Aké is a potential TOP player for left-back for our future but he was not going to have minutes with Jose. What he needs is to play regularly to show to everyone what kind of player he is. However Aké is playing with Watford regularly and when he finishes the season Aké will have played more than 30 matches between Premier League, FA Cup and League, which is perfect to complete his professional development before returning with us next season.IMO Nathan Aké is going to be a similar case like Courtois was two years ago.
