you implying that you may still sign Koulibaly or that you think Ake is the answer?

Yep. Just amended my post. We are in for one of three quality CB's.
Ake is not the answer by far. A squad player for sure.

City are in a different world financially, I know theyre the only team that can stop the RS but still....

We will recoup the £40m fee by selling John Stones for similar. It's a straight trade.

I've never understood the hype with Ake. Looked every inch a Bournemouth level player.

I wish we could spunk £41 mill on a squad player.....oh, ignore me, we signed gylfi for more money, as you were.

Well if Pep thinks Ake is the key to City defense problems Liverpool will be sweeping the league again.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Bit surprised by City, tbh. Doesn't help the general market when they sign a plsyer from a relegated team for that much.

£40m for Ake! It's a laugh innit?

Surely there's better options, he's home grown isn't it? But i don't know why you don't stick with stones. Already spent a stupid amount on him, i believe they're at the same level and both fill HG quota. You must be confident of selling stones.

Bournemouth will have received £65m+ for ake and mings. A team renowned for having woeful defences throughout their time in the prem.

I think the bigger laugh is the £1m add on

 

[EFCccc]

I actually think Ake is a very good player. And if Maguire is worth £80m, and Stones is worth £50m then they have got themselves a bargain.

Ake will be a great signing for City

Would love to have him here

I put the blame on Howe's tactics more than his ability as a defender

 

[Yarrgh]

Watch this space....
Guardiola goes for a right footed and a left footed centre half partnership as they split the pitch in two.
I think it's highly doubtful that we will start a game with with two left footed centre halves next season, unless there are injury problems and he's forced into doing so.

Ake is a squad purchase who will be rotating with Laporte. The job now is to find a suitable
partner for Laporte. I would think it will one of Koulibaly, Diego Carlos, or Martin Skriniar.

Wowzers! The real jaw dropping thing about this, is that I don't think that this is outlandish at all.

I think that would sort out every team's defence in the league, including the rs and the 'imperious' Dirgil Dan Vijk.

Yeah, I agree that he's quality.

There'll just be those handful of games where him and Laporte get ragged by an Ashley Barnes or Billy Sharp.
