Nathan Aké

And he's doing well too, I'm certain he will take the place of Ivanovic in the squad next season

No one will ever displace Ivanovic.

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.

Tbh the whole Watford team crumbled after Arsenal scored. Feel sorry for them, the first 60 minutes merited them at least a draw.

Very fair assessment. Got in well a few times but it's hard to overlook that tackle on Ozil (likely would have been a penalty if not for the goal immediately after) and then Bellerin...for the third goal he beat Ake like he stole something.

Hopefully he steps up and improves because he's a good player.

A song I've been singing for a long time. Of the three 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.

Starting as a LB today. (Stoke-Watford)

We should have just kept him instead of buying Baba for 20 million.

He is pretty good. He was a starter LB at Reading and he is a regular at Watford now. He has the speed and stamina.

If you watched, was he any good?

I didn't watch him yesterday as Chelsea were playing too but I've seen him against Bournemouth and Arsenal. He was a bit shaky but it looks like he is getting better and better, Watford fans were pleased with his performances.

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.

I think there is a penalty but yes a contract can be broken if both parties agree if there is no break clause. Ie paying Watford a tidy sum of money for their permission.

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 .
