Atlest Tuchel worked with Kimpembe....why not him....my original choice Gvardiol can't move this window... Is Kimpembe actually that much better or this another "Reguillon is better than Chilwell" moment. 5 minutes ago, MoroccanBlue said: Ake isn't a fantastic signing but if it means we will see less of Sarr, I am for it. People are so quick to discredit him as a player but when the club that has run away with domestic titles in the past 5 seasons are gutted to see him leave, we aren't exactly picking up scraps here. He'll provide us experience in age and in the league. Not to worst thing in the world. Little risk here. However, only one person to point at if this somehow fails. Tuchel. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t improve, it was other factors and less responsibility improved. No way. Rüdiger before Tuchel was just a constant cascade of individual errors, a complete liability. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Yes... Kimpembe is million miles ahead and better than Ake...Ake signing has fukc all written all over it... Time for Tuchel to shoulder the blame in case this transfer becomes a bust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Honesty would take recently released Zagadou over ake. Guess what he is left footed as well 5 minutes ago, Tomo said: Is Kimpembe actually that much better or this another "Reguillon is better than Chilwell" moment.

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 bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artandur 939 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) 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.

Clockwork 1,794 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 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. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The price tag seems excessive though, considering the amount of football he has played in the last years. 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 bigbluewillie and Blue Armour 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
