He's almost tailor made for the LCB role and also provides good cover at CM imo. 

He's not physical enough, IMO. I would rather have him as a back-up to Marcos Alonso.

And if Marcos has been carrying an injury since he joined, then maybe Nathan is coming as a just in case.

Seems like the lad has matured a ton over the last year and a half. You can see it in his face that he's grown up too. I think he'll surprise a lot of folks and get into the squad on a regular basis. Sooner rather than later.

Alonso is now no longer in the comfort zone, he has competition and I do not think Antonio will be scared to switch it.

Conte assesses Ake following return to Chelsea

Conte assesses Ake following return to Chelsea

 

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed he has been looking closely at Nathan Ake playing as a centre-back in training this week.

Conte recently explained that his decision to recall Ake from a season-long loan at Bournemouth was partly based on the Dutch youngster’s versatility.

Ake, 21, can pay in the centre of defence or in midfield, and Conte is also keen to deploy him as a wing-back in training to see if he might also be an option in that role for the Blues.

For the time being, though, Conte has been looking at Ake as a centre-back.

“In these days I tried him as a central defender,” Conte explained.

“It’s important for me to have a bit of time with him to know him better and to try to find out the best position for him.

“He can play in different roles and it’s very important for us he is able to do that.

“He can play as a central defender, in the middle or on the left. He could also play as a wing-back. It’s important now to work with us.”

Conte also suggested that Ake’s return to the squad could save Chelsea having to spend on an alternative during this month’s transfer window.

“This makes me more calm in the January market,” said the Italian.

“He has good personality and he’s mature. It (coming back to Chelsea) is not a gift for him. Somebody must deserve to come back.

“In a year and a half he has improved a lot. This shows that it’s important for a young player to play on loan, and then, when they are ready, come back and play with us.”

Interesting hes back, I would hope he'd be back up LCB to Cahill, because still I think Cahill is a stronger player and also more dominant in the air as well as being taller. Azpi and Ake both as CBs would be a nightmare, Azpi isn't too tall and Im sure Ake isn't either.

Hes definitely playing tomorrow. Just dunno if its WB or CB  yet

‘He (Ake) has the possible of playing in different positions, as a central defender and a wing-back,’ the Blues boss explained.

‘Tomorrow is a good opportunity for him to show me he’s in our ideal of football and show his improvement to us.’

His rating and potential in the game is trash anyways. Chelsea won't use him in the game.

I think he will get a good xhunk of time. If hes noy a starter I'd think on at half time.

He will certainly get more game time in the rest of the season than RLC. Hopefully Chalobah will get some time too
