Couldn't watch the game yesterday and the highlights on bbc showed nothing. How was he yesterday?

pretty decent, it was comfortable for him. he was dynamic, crunched into some tackles. looks a better player than alonso, but I don't expect him to be replaced for a while

So according to Twitter, Bournemouth have bid £18m. Would be great business if we removed the context of needing back-up players. Conte wouldn't be crying for back-up, to settle for recalling Ake, to then sell him. I'm sure the board will agree that £18m isn't much to us, so we can pass on it.

But it'd be exciting to take.

Not on the bench. Worrying sign IMO.

We'd be mad to let him go, think he could be as good as a left centre back as Azpilicueta is at right CB. A good season or two at Bournemouth and they'd probably want £40m+

[Special Juan 28,134]

Won't be going.

Final confirmation if needed..asked Ake as he boards coach - 'not going to #afcbournemouth then?' His reply was an emphatic 'no'.#cfc

• Nathan Ake has broken through at Chelsea and is determined to keep his place

Lol what.. One cup game and he has "broken through"? Like Bertrand broke through?  He didn't even make the bench against pool. If past evidence is anything to go by then by next season he'll be loaned out again, sold or far behind in the pecking order. He is obviously a stop-gap between January and summer because we couldn't sign anybody. His positions will be strengthened by imports and he will soon be forgotten at this club, that's my prediction. All this hype around him is unnecessary at the moment, he hasn't proven anything and if this keeps up then his head will be turned by the hype like countless other former future superstars.

Only thing to complain about after the win is this. 

It seems like waste to bring him back from the loan if he can't make the bench. 

[BoyBlue96 990]

Much criticism from Bournemouth's head director and also here from Holland. And I agree with them.

Why the hell did Conte bring him back? He tells him that he is pleased with Aké's development and then continues to not even have him in the squad at match days.

Nathan needs to leave Chelsea for the good of his career. Same goes for Van Ginkel. Both have no future here.

Ake might do, but Van Ginkel's chance went the moment he got injured.
