    Morning mate, who's pissed you off bro? I've noticed a few venomous posts from you recently.

    You all good?

    changed your tune from he’s won **** all to he’s won plenty but but but <laugh>

    Toress left you and won 3 trophies within 2 years
    Coutinho left you and won 3 titles
    Suarez left you and won 4 league titles

    anyone else who’s left you to watch their career plummet? <laugh>

    Without him leaving you don’t get Van Dijk and Alisson and you don’t win the league. You should be thankful he ****ed off.

    He was vastly overrated and whilst talented & a potential match winner, in the majority of games he was fairly anonymous. Then he’d bang one in from 25 yards and be lauded as Wuuuurrrlld class again.

    Oh and @FosseFilberto he’s been hawked around all over the shop by his agent, including us.

    Would be a very expensive Kevin Mirallas for us pal. Can't see him as part of the plans Carlo has, think if he is going for that type, it will be the James lad from Madrid

    I agree, he’s not what we need at all, and I can’t see him being what we actually want. I could see him at Arsenal if they can offload Ozil lol.

    Not sure about ake. I think he's solid but not a world beater and at 41m I'm not a fan

    He’s a good footballer, but I’m not convinced he’s a top notch defender.

    The block he got in against Vardy that injured him was exceptional ... he'd no right to get there ... he's also deceptively strong in the air ... he could play as a defensive midfielder for sure mind.

    Pairing him with Laporte or in a 3 with Laporte and Walker would be pretty good for me ...

    don't fully get why he is so highly rated tbh . He is decent to good CB but that seems about it to me however he does seem to be rated better than that inside football from what we can see .
    Mind you Pep hasn't got a great record with the defenders he signs at City so might not even be the best move for Ake .

    Oh in hindsight of course I'm happy he went, but I still can still take a little satisfaction from the way its gone for him so far.

  20. Apparently, his contract has a clause that obliges Bournemouth to offer him to you for the same price.
