Honesty would take recently released Zagadou over ake. Guess what he is left footed as well

Is Kimpembe actually that much better or this another "Reguillon is better than Chilwell" moment.

I'll be disappointed if he's over 35m and/or our big defensive signing but he's certainly not as bad as being made out.

Rebuilding and chilly were both decent options

kimpembe and ake are both unterwhelming but at least the Frenchman is younger, more experienced at top level and on his best day looks like a really good defender. Ake is just at a consistently poor average. Bournemouth was his level at best, should have stayed there

Tbh i haven't really watched Ake since he's left us, but according to City fans he was really good last season and they want him to stay. So i'm just hoping he'll be able to surprise us. And if not that'll just mean more opportunities for Colwill. The price tag seems excessive though, considering the amount of football he has played in the last years.

In hindsight maybe but many (including me)  were totally against signing him and thought it was a Maguire esque mugoff.

This is the kind of thing that happens when you lose two CB's for free. Everyone knows they can bend you over and insert.

All the comments from City that wants to keep him are from the perspective of being 4th choice CB and backup LB. If we are signing him as a sub, okay whatever I am on board even though the money is a lot.

This. 

People want us to integrate Colwill and have him develop, yet at the same time want a players like Kimpembe or Gvardiol who would both start the majority of the matches. Ake is a good squad player to have and it will allow Colwill to easily displace him should Colwill fulfill his potential.

Don't worry you and many here that are in denial about him being shit will make a swift turn come September and November. Dude sucks and Tommy can't make miracles with him. Can't wait for his partner Kounde next week to join as well, amazing backline.

I never said he was brilliant or shite haha I just think this forum I going to explode when he signs lol

You haven’t missed anything. He is still exactly that same, extremely unremarkable player who left us. That’s the problem. 0 development in his entire senior career. If he was still 21 he would be a promising player but he is fkin 27 …

still the same inconsistent touch

still exactly as tiny

still almost never makes a successful tackle or interception

still decent but not special passing

still average in the air

scores the occasional tap in from a corner every 50 games 

probably the most boring  pl cb there is

FFS let him kick a ball for us first 😂

what is worse is selling Tomori and Guehi.

Ake as a starter? 😂

Over Sarr, yes. Granted Sarr is a low bar, but I will still be more than happy to take Ake given that choice.

[YorkshireBlue 3,126]

Thing is I trust TT and back him 100% if this is who he's asked for then fair enough, excited no but happy to see a manager get what he's asking for.

[Alabama 1,992]

No Marina to blame again...

No marina No party...

Tomori we sold for 28m now he is worth 50

guehi I am stilll undecided on but we have a buy back clause

Both comfortably better than ake tho
