Nathan Aké

If rambo and mvg are out, unleash the AKE!

Looks like Ake or some other midfielder will be getting some 1st team action . One mans back luck is anothers fortune , lets hope that somebody takes the chance by both hands ...Van.Ginkel hopefully because he is young comes back 100%

I thought Ake might at least make the bench against Swindon ,,,just can't see him getting a PL start

I'm not so sure, we still have four players for 2 positions.

Right....

I'd like to see more young talent given a run ,help their development and Ake looked at ease in the time he was given last season.

[The_Flash 1,144]

He looked good in the understanding game, fast, intelligent player, a real talent for the future.

[Korea 734]

Really dont understand why he doesnt get any run for CC games at least....

He played in europa and epl games last season. Also, he can actually run, not like the other 3.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Not sure what's happened to him to be honest. Looked impressive last season but seems to have stalled somewhat. Maybe they're targeting him for a loan in January but he seems to have fallen behind Kalas in the pecking order for defence.

i think he himself made it clear what we are doing with him. this is his 3rd year in CFC, so as to make him classify him as homegrown (cl-wise). also he has been doing great in the reserves and the CL-youth league. honestly i feel playing in youth-CL in 100 times better than playing in a championship side.

[Korea 734]

It be great if we had mobility in our CMs....

Something we dont besides Rambo.

[Korea 734]

Our 0 mobility cm strikes again!

[Tomo 21,681]

If our attacking mid's weren't so young, i would say playing him next to Rami would be worth a shot.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I honestly would like to see him be given a run of games in the pivot. He can't be bad as some of the other players that have been put in that position and everytime he has played for us I have been impress, even if it was just in cup games.

Of course since he is not a 30 year old he will not be considered because of his 'lack of experience' even if the supposedly experienced players are playing like crap in the pivot.

[ja1 1,166]

Mourinho may just not be a fan of him, like Rafa clearly was. Although I'm surprised he hasn't looked at utilising him, Swift or Baker as a 5th option in midfield now MVG's out for the season.

[Korea 734]

I think its more cause of his age.......

and his bromance with lampard..

[Korea 734]

Fresh legs from the youth would be useful in the pivot...
