    Think it is more likely a clause in the original transfer agreement rather than in Ake's contract .

    Don't push HIAG on legal stuff, it's not something he understands.

  6. Possibly.

    I don’t have any details. It was something I heard on TalkSport, driving into the office.

    No but I'm assuming it's a decent cricket average. I guess the key bit for all of us is "not out".

    Pointless anyway if City want him.

    It’s a buyback clause I believe, £40m

    Will he go straight in to the starting XI alongside Laporte? Is he good enough?

    Yeah, suppose. Not sure he is good enough to make the jump across to Liverpool. He's no Kompany!

    This ^

    I think Stones will be moved on this summer, if they can find a taker.

    Hope not. City are/were one of the clubs linked to Ben White. If they get Ake over the line and keep Stones that might rule them out of the chase for White.

    Brighton just signed another centre half yesterday (or so am led to believe) so hopefully White is available. I'm hoping he comes back to Leeds permanently. I'm worried Liverpool will come in and push the price up.

    Talksport were on about Stones coming to Leeds to work under Bielsa! We can't afford him but it's a scary thought! <doh>

    I think he'll improve in the Man City team, good player who was ready for that move.
    Ake and Laporte is a very good pairing.

    Screams Arsenal, they love a defender with concentration issues.
