Let's face it, Jose and the board messed this one up completely. The signing of Luis not only halted his development but took him a couple of years back.

There are no excuses for this one, if Ake was at Arsenal or even united he'd most likely be a regular in the first team.

What were u expecting? :)

Nathan Aké on playing LB in recent games - "It's a little different than CB or DM but if you get a chance as LB in Chelsea First Team you shouldn't whine" (via FOX) good attitude that.

Amblève.
Amblève.

Bow down to the almighty Egalitarian.

Is Ake good enough to be our back up left back though? I don't know.

Can't really blame the club when he was injured quite a bit this season and Jose never gave him much opportunity. You can't put that on the club tbh.

He did very well for us when he played and in the championship last season he blew everyone away. Definitely good enough to be given a chance.

Jose is the main person to blame but the board as well for deciding to sign a back up LB when we already had Ake and not a back up RB when we had no backup there except for Azpi who was already starting at LB.

He didn't play extensively at LB though, he was more impressive in midfield in the Championship.

And again, can't blame the board. We've already got a back up Arab (essentially Azpi) but Jose chose not to play him there.

But I think as a left-back Aké usually plays misplaced and With unnatural movements. I think that he could lead to adapt to the position of left-back because Aké
is a player very disciplined tactically With a spectacular and tactical sense. Maybe he could adapt, but Ake (IMO) feels more comfortable in midfield.

I think he would have had many more opportunities with us in the last two years. This has been a mistake because Aké is not the typical player who shines in summaries in youtube, Ake is a player with a mindset and tactical sense of a mature player with ability to lead a team in midfield, as he showed With his loan at Reading.

But now he needs to play every week to not interrupt their progress. And this one year in Boro loan is the best option for him. Within a year we will be looking forward to start the 2016-2017 season to see Ake with us again. I trust Aké.

By the way. 1000 posts! WOW! thank you all for these six great months with all of you.

:blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: Thanks for everything :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Regards.

Actually he only played the first game at Reading in midfield (half of it actually IIRC) but the remaining 3 games he played at LB.

And no need to get racist about it and talk about 'back up Arab' whatever that means! :P
