The fee is a lot but I don't see why people are such against it. He is an experienced PL defender. Good on the ball and in a back 3 I think will really surprise people. Like I say, City forked out money for him for a reason and not a case that he has been awful for them. Just been behind in the pecking order. I mean don't get me wrong if we got Ake as our only defender, I would bricking it but alongside Koulibaly, I am fine with that.

Ake Silva Koulibaly with Colwill Ampadu Trevoh as backups seems to be the plan. Colwill rotates with Ake, Koulibaly switches between the centre and RCB since Silva will be rotated.

Mount K2 is also one of the highest mountains in the world.

Dont believe that for one minute

40m E's on a five year contract for a 31yo and then 50m E's for the five years.

Nobody would be stupid enough to offer that...yes! even CFC

In pounds it is around £33.7m and £162K PW 

The salary is fine, but

I would have thought it would be £25.3m to £29.5m trans fee (30m to 35m euros) plus 3 years max on the contract, with a possible club-triggered-only option for a 4th.

He has 3 good seasons left I wager, anything beyond that is dicey, hardly anyone is a Thiago

What can we say...we are The Pensioners 🤕

 

Don't like this transfer, but me not liking will not change anything that our beloved club does. So just gonna get on with it and support him. Hope we finish 4th next year.

I'd rather Kimpembe personally. 

Yes, Kimpembe over Áke all day, BUT, I think the club is convinced Áke is also our new backup LB.

I have always said my first choice for WC veteran CB was Marquinhos (pipe dream), then Škriniar, then (after I flung myself off the Bastoni train) De Ligt, then KK (whose price was low enough to buy Škiniar as well if we were not going to buy any of Osimhen or Bellingham or Rice now (all are next summer options is how I looked at it)

Youth: Gvardiol and Schotterbeck 

Bremer was in the mix as well, but I just got tired of defending him, and I went back and watched some more in game Vida (not highlights) and can admit he is not exactly Beckenbauer on the ball. Demiral, well ZERO links.

In terms of this window:

Gvardiol is for next summer, RB will not sell now unless we tossed £80m, £90m, even maybe £100m, at them, which is madness (we should do a precontract in January)

Sooooooooooo.....

 

IF (as is very likely) Škriniar goes to PSG (I think we are fools to not jump on him), and De Ligt goes to the Bavarian cowpig farmers, that leaves KK as only WC target left who is actually available.

Or save the cash. We no longer have limitless money. Will need to have funds for 2023 when Rice, Bellingham etc might be available.

How Aké got everyone convinced he is even adequate as LB when he is already a parlous  CB is beyond me. He is basically a left footed Azpi at best on the ball.
