And these are ones we’ve spent 35mil on not even from the academy loll It really is a dilemma, a lot can go wrong by January, or right (sitting on the fence) Wes is old, Evans getting on and injury prone, Benko injury prone and Soyuncu a little reckless, I’ve always been a glass half empty type of person and would sooner we bring in a first choice CB as we should have ££ to spend, Benko and Soyuncu should still get plenty of chances even if we do sign a replacement for Harry.
TheSomersetFox Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Everything I see written about Ake by Bournemouth fans on Twitter tells me he really has to be our first choice. Seen a few saying he's the best player they've ever had play for them. Dunk and Tarkowski would probably be cheaper but I'd so much rather us go for him
Shane Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Schar linked to AC Milan. He is defensively better than Maguire and is also comfortable with the ball at his feet. The Swiss Jonny Evans

Whenever I've seen Bournemouth play he's impressed me. Pretty much holds that defence together by himself. Be good to have a left footed CB too. He is quite short though (like Tarkowski) which means we'd have a serious lack of height across the back four.

Has their been any links or news about him and us though or is it just us fans wishful thinking thats making all the noise?

Ake was the first name put to BR when he was interviewed last night as one of the rumoured replacements, the other 2 being Tarkowski and Dunk.

Happy Fox Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Just now, Suzie the Fox said: :O i didnt see the interview, what was his reply? He didn't deny it, but said another 10 names in addition to them.

John Percy mentioned that we've been looking at him as a potential replacement for Maguire. He also mentioned Dunk and Tarkowski. He's usually very reliable.
Max Power Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Is having an absolute giant at the back really necessary? What massive target men are knocking about these days? I’d go Ake from the names linked but I think he’s also be the most expensive. Probably give Soyuncu and Benkovic a chance to prove themselves and reassess in January.
FoxinNotts Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Tarkowski is worth about £25m. We’re gonna have to pay £45m. Ridiculous. Stick with Soyuncu, Benkovic and Morgan to partner Evans. Promote Pascanu into the first team squad
urban.spaceman Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 I think we’ll be solid with Soyuncu and Evans, with Benkovic and Wes as cover. Seeing as the media will be desperate for us to sign a big money replacement I think we should either not buy anyone or bring in someone on loan, Dragovic style. Then we should buy a promising young CB next summer.
AC660 Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Would be really interessting to read what you guys said about Maguire before he joined us from Hull... I guess pretty much the same as what we said about Huth, and now DUNK... bitch please.
UniFox21 Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 This has been posted in the Tarkowski thread, but feel it should go in here too. Out of the two, I think Ake suits our style and what we want to do better. But we also have Soyuncu and Benkovic in our ranks to consider. I'd rather start with them and recruit later than not giving either a chance to prove themselves

Feck off!! https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/795975/Leicester-Celtic-raid-Man-Utd-Harry-Maguire-transfer-latest-Kristoffer-Ajer I’m not advocating you guys signing him, just now anyway, for the reasons posted on the Ajer thread. However, purely from a financial view point he’s far better value than Dunk or Tarkowski at close to the £50m fees being speculated.
AC660 Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 To quote Brendan. "Ajer is the potential long term replacement for Harry." Should we trust the man who have been he's boss or...?
Dahnsouff Posted 4 August 2019 Author Posted 4 August 2019 Only way to get value is to shop outside the PL Just get Vogt for God’s sake, he looks a near perfect replacement.
