Nathan Aké

[LAM09 6,804]

Looks like he's getting recalled. Will be a good option for a few positions.

[Pizy 18,439]

I'm seeing that Eddie Howe essentially confirmed it.

I actually feel sorry for him and Bournemouth fans. 

[Fernando 6,488]

Finally putting that loan army to work. 

It's situation like this that it makes it worthwhile. As January is very tough to do business. Clubs won't sell as easily like in the summer. 

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

DELIGHTED he's coming back. I've been hoping he'd get a shot in the squad for the longest time.

Eddie Howe on Nathan Ake's imminent return to Chelsea: "It looks like that will be the case, it's not 100% finalised yet."

[Pizy 18,439]

Ake now & Cristenson in the summer. We may not even need to buy another defender after all.

If we can also now get a midfielder this month we'll have all we need for the rest of this season.

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. 

I really think we should recall Baba Rahman if we won't sign anyone there in January. 

Ake should be only emergency option at LWB.

 

[Adnane 1,101]

If he can get experience and work hard enough, he is tailor made for that LCB role.

The question is, are they good enough for us? They aren't bad players but fans always overhype and overrate players from our academy (myself included at times) and yet, nothing good has come to fruition.

Not a big fan of this. 

Why?? Clubs always break their loan agreement when they send players back to their parent club if Bournemouth paid the loan fee we wouldn't have the option to recall him back 

[LondonsFinest 692]

Find it surprising people are saying he should make the LCB role his. We'd die on set pieces with him and Azpi. He's taylor made for LWB. Defensive stability, passing, technique, crossing ability, mobile. Ideal choice if we can't buy any top notch LB/LWB.

We can't recall Baba cause Schalke 04 paid a loan fee in the loan out agreement 

[Yeboii 1,844]

When a loan isn't working out = "meh just keep him there"
When a loan is going great = "Take him back to us!"

I think they're both good enough to at least be in contention for a place. RLC is the one I think many of our fans overrate and overhype. I have my doubts as to whether he'll ever be good enough for us.

Leave him there, he shouldn't be coming back here..The lad is doing great, he will not start here and his development will stagnate on the bench.

If we'd really like to, we can recall any player currently on loan. After all Chelsea own these players. Probably would need to pay penalty fee but that's it.

Maybe conte wants him to start?...

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

I think he'll get more game-time than some think. I doubt Conte would bring him back from what has turned out, from a very rocky start, to be a very successful loan spell for him to just rot on the bench indefinitely.

He's the perfect 'jack of many trades' that the team could do with, providing cover in the back three, the left wing back slot, hell he can even slot in as a DM.

Obviously this could all be thrown back in my face if he does indeed just come back to make up the numbers, I just have a feeling Conte will have more for him.

If that's the case why did chelsea struggle to get Christensen back?? When we were struggling to buy Centre Back before we resign Luiz
