He's (Ake) is not close to as bad as people are making out (as City's delight with staying shows) but yeah £50m was far too much and I'm glad we've walked at that price.

Agreed. When the rumors first started, I thought he'd go for £30-35M considering City themselves had paid £40M for him and it's not like he's shown anything in the last two seasons to make his value go up from that.

For a cut-price deal I think he'd have been a good rotational option with plenty of PL experience but no way is he worth +50M. Happy the club have decided to walk away when City's demands turned out too high.

I think that is better try to sign kounde the fast we can

Gnabry officially off the table and extending at Bayern. Another attacker off the table.

Unfortunately, it’s looking more and more likely that Sterling will be our only attacking signing this summer unless something totally unexpected falls into our lap.

I don't think Raphinha is off the table to be honest. Brokealona where meant to complete that one this week but they cannot as they need to get FDJ to agree to leave an waive his £17mil. 

Could see that one returning as Barca are just bs'ing everyone at the moment. 

As for CB, not sold on Kounde or Kimpembe. Rather just roll with Colwill and have James slot in as a RCB when needed. 

[Artandur 939]

TT also confirmed he wants 3 CBs if Azpi leaves

Silva, Koulibaly, Chalobah and Colwill is way too light on depth to continue with the back-3. Sure James can cover RCB if absolutely needed but any minutes he plays away from RWB immediately leaves a massive problem on another position.

I haven't paid enough attention to Kounde or Kimpembe to say which would be better but surely one of them will come. 

Koulibaly-Silva-Kounde with Trev and Colwill in rotation would be good.

Or alternatively Kimpembe-Silva-Koulibaly with the same backups.

[Mário César 1,250]

 

Koulibaly + One Center Back + One more defender to back up reece james 

koulibaly, thiago, CB, chalobah and dude from academy and that's OK

not bad

plenty of time to chalobah and other dude to improve!

Just get kimpembe and kounde and be done with defence...

De jong for midfield and rafa leo for the fwd line

We can contend for the title if everyone magically click (wishful thinking...lol)

Yeah total around €390m - €400m with Sterling, Slonina, and Koulibaly also included.

Kounde shirt no longer for sale in sevilla

[Mário César 1,250]

well lets buy kounde 

I think would be a logical choice 

and now try to improve at least or our midfielder or our attack 

[MoroccanBlue 5,380]

Should really be Kounde if Tuchel wants that CB to drive forward with the ball (ala Rudiger). 

Kounde Silva Koulibaly

Chalobah Koulibaly Colwill

or Gvardiol who is a left-footed.

It appears we’re doing with Koulibaly what we did with Sterling. Deal done and signed but no announcement for days because we want some cool reveal photos in Vegas.
