Football Nathan Ake

On his way?

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...nsfer-18547767

Defo says 'we need a left-footed centre back' imo.


Thoughts?

We could do with a right footed half decent one too... What's going on with Harry?

Anyway - could be a good signing. I'd keep Lindelof and send Bailly as far away as possible. Along with Jones.

I still think Smalling can do a job for us - even as a squad player.

He says something about bournemouth 'needing a bit of luck to bounce back' or something then tells him to keep going.

Nope.

He definitely says what the bloke claims he said. It's why Nathan Ake gave the reaction he did.

As a defender and a footballer he is hugely overrated. Decent bloke and character though.

Thought about this over lunch..

Harry is right footed, correct? Why does he play on the left hand side of defence (if lookint out from our goal). Surely he should be playing on the right hand side? It may be because we need a left footed CB and the other's are less comfortable than him playing there.

IF we signed Ake, I expect it would look like this:

Romero

AWB Maguire Ake Shaw ()

GK

RB CB CB LB
Thanks for the brackets and bolding of position, I'd have struggled understanding what you meant otherwise.

Maybe because he's less shit with his left foot than whoever he plays with- Lindelof or Bailly. Hence Ole saying that to Ake..

I watched that BT subtitles thing yesterday and they had Ole saying

"You need a bit of luck at centre back"

Which I found odd, but when you listen back, yeah he's definitely tapping him up there

Bit of Fergie about him

Not sure about Ake tbh. Decent enough.... but it's for Bournemouth. And all this 'knows the league stuff'..... hmmm, so do all the other back four. We've got plenty back there who fit that bill.

Bruno doesn't know the league. Hasn't stopped him though because he's class.

Someone better than Ake, please.

A defender from a team that's going down who have just conceded 9 goals in 2 games. Probably get him for around 60 million. Sounds like a goer.

Yep. The gulf is too much. He needs to move to top 10 PL team and then maybe he'd be ready.

Like Maguire, he needed that move from Hull to Leicester before moving to us.
