Other Clubs Summer Transfer Window 2020

[Tubey]

Stones is such an Arsenal signing.

Ake is an odd one. It honestly seems like people randomly just assume he's good, because if they watched him actually play he's the most bang average defender you'll ever see in your life.

 

[Nymzee]

Stones, Mustafi, Sokratis & David Luiz

Bottom half options there.

Mad about Ake and Stones' transfers. Both are mid-table Premier League centre backs. I'd have Holgate over the pair of them. Actually surprising that neither side is interested in our Mason. Happy though!

Would be an impact sub in his first season in my opinion. Very talented and capable of pretty regular moments of brilliance, but I don't think he'd be reliable enough for Pep until he'd coached him for a while.

I don't really see him as someone who is at the level to play regularly for them yet either.

Holgate can be sloppy on the ball so I get why City would avoid that. I actually rate Ake but when City have the money to buy literally anyone it is a weird one.

Chelsea's attack is going to amazing, adding ziyech and havertz to what they already have

Setting up and organising the defence is not exactly Pep's strong point.
It's been a problem since he joined us. However, I guess the trophy count
absolves him of any blame domestically - but once you meet the top European
teams its a different deal altogether. I would love the defence & attack of Mancini's team
and the midfield of Pep. Now that would be something.

Stones, Mustafi, Sokratis & David Luiz

Bottom half options there.

The money as well, two of those have gone for £50m fees and one has gone for £35m. Sokratis nearly £20m too, they're all centre backs who are admittedly good on their day, but never more than five times a season.

Why not just get Koulibaly? Unless you're getting him and ake?

To be fair I was only digging Arsenal there. They have Saliba, Holding, Chambers too who I rate.

I think that is the plan - if it comes off?
Koulibaly & Laporte would be immense with Ake as a squad player to rotate.
I'm happy with Ake as he is a proper defender. We don't have many of them at the
moment. So a pragmatic signing which signals that the defensive issues we have
are being addressed. If we can get circa £25m for Stones then overall a decent
piece of business.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Ake is a great defender

Would be a top signing for them that

Eddie Howe's best ever act as Bournemouth manager was to bring him in

 

[Milk]

Times going with Chelsea swopping Batshuayi and Barkley for Rice.

So well done to anyone posting that Barkley would end up at WHam

 

[Goat]

Ake is a strange 1, you can get almost any CB in world footballer, you dont pick Ake.

 

[KaiserEFC]

The gossip mill saying Chelsea are prepared to offer Dean Henderson £170,000 pw, obviously not true but I must say I wasn’t remotely impressed with him when we played them. Looks a bit like Pickford 2.0
