My hunch is we've got a chunk we can spend, but waiting on things to play out to see if we can get a Kubo/Fofana type.
All else fails, we agree a fee for Dibling*
* Spurs wade in and we pay double what Moyes turned his nose up at for Tom...
We started with James Garner at left back. Yet some are moaning about us targeting a Netherlands international who has won the treble, while our starting left back is as average as they come. Never change Blues.

When you look at the prospect of having either James Garner at LB or Michael Keane at CB for a prolonged period of time, it's hard to turn your nose up at a deal for Ake.
If it's Ake + Dibling + no.6 + RB then awesome.

I’ve nothing against the Ake interest. Think it’s a sensible move at the right price.
But we seem to be prioritising everthing else apart from the 2 positions we don’t have any players for.
