LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Curious no-one sees him as a CB. Think he's been great for them there, benefit of Ake is he can virtually play anywhere across the back 6, so even more interesting people don't think he has a future here..

Dave outstanding Centre back when the ball played along the ground he's not great in the air which was showing last nite and teams will see that has a weakest I would push dave on left wing-back position and get Zouma or Ake in one them centre back positions  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz can hoof it upfield and is much calmer on the ball now but he needs someone back with him to pass to to take it upfield instead of just giving it to a WB. But yes Dave as LWB would work I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 His time has finally come. Let's hope Conte gives him a proper chance because he has deserved it. Whether it's LWB, LCB or CDM/CM, he can deliver. I honestly think he can replace Alonso or even Matic in the starting XI. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,909 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 You have to think he's going straight into the XI or at least considered a serious option if Conte wants him back. Otherwise it would be a waste for him to just be another RLC who just sits on the bench every week. I'd prefer him as a CB than a wingback.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Not a big fan of this. Clubs should honor such loan agreements when the loan is working out, even if there is a clause. Reciprocity is the key if we want teams to give our loanees serious game time in future agreements. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Francis Coquelin springs to mind. We can really use Ake versatility I think especially in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Azpi was exploited aerially at Spurs and now people want another short defender in the defence? If that isn't suicidal, I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 This. If Ake is to be utilized, it should be in midfield, where he did well previously under Benitez. 7 minutes ago, Blue Colored Sky said: Francis Coquelin springs to mind.

I do hear you and on principal its all well and good but turn it aropund. Do we let all the ones that are't being used just stay where they are achieving nothing either for the loaned to club, the player himself or us in bringing his rep higher or to use ourselves. 3 minutes ago, Jason said: This. If Ake is to be utilized, it should be in midfield, where he did well previously under Benitez.  Do we settle for bringing in a player that did well or should we set our sites higher and buy real talent (if available of course) I cant remember him setting the \Bridge on fire. Think he only started what 2 or 3 and subbed another 2 oe 3/ But hes obviously got much better since then with regular playing. I know his preferred position is MF but do we shove Nate aside for him? I'm not sure I'm only wondering. If we think its the best option then I'm all for it. Its just these CBs/ WBs are doing my head in not knowing what our best path to take is.

This window makes it hard to buy and we lost Oscar, Mikel and likely Loftus-Cheek will go too. Its just about making up numbers for me Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 He might be a good option for wing back as Alonso is starting to drop in form. Not just that but as mentioned he can play in other key positions. I'm all for it just as long Conted uses him and not stuck him in the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
