Ake seems to be short, tbh

[Superblue 6,372]

Reports from France suggesting we've now made a contract offer to Dembele. Of course this could be more agent spinning from his camp, but from what it appears over the past few days we've shown interest to him this whole time without putting our cards on the table. It's not left us in a bidding war with other clubs and in particular Barca which it seems is what Dembele's camp were expecting to drive his demands up more.

It looks like this has backfired spectacularly if reports from Barca's end are correct with regards to the offer they've made him. If we did manage to get him, I'd expect it to be a far more reasonable and manageable contract position now. If he decides to take the pay cut and stay at Barca then we move on.

city wants included reece james in negotiations 

fuck off

[Pizy 18,877]

Oh, wow. The City fans on Bluemoon are adamant that Aké should stay. Apparently he came into their side last season and was extremely good? Must admit I didn’t watch them at all when he was in the team.

Koundé for sure. Much higher ceiling I think. Aké is perhaps less of a risk since he both knows the league and knows the club but I don’t think he’s got world class potential like Koundé does.

Apparently we're interested in Zinchenko too.

I guess if you can't beat them, buy them.

[Mário César 1,249]

Zinchenko

Kounde

Sterling

That's my preference.

Where would we use Zinchenko? LWB? CM?

 

Especially strange if we get both him and Aké.

I’d assume as a rotation option behind Chilly. But in that case I’m not sure why he’d want to come here and be in the same role he’s at with City. He surely thinks it’s time for him to go somewhere and be a starter. He’d be in the bench just as often here as he was at City.

Anyway, in regards to potentially signing both Sterling & Dembele, I just wonder how that would work with the formation we play. It leaves our player of the season Mason Mount the odd man out. That’s something we haven’t really thought about. And if we switch formations to a 4-3-3 to fit him into the team we screw up the CB situation. Playing in a back 3 has been the primary reason Silva has been so comfortable even at age 37/38.

LWB. He's technically gifted and can play CM. That's where he plays for Ukraine now

LWB for sure

would rather buy David Raum or Borna Sosa
