Chelsea make £20m, we save £15m. That's the kind of shithousery I want to see from my club. Pretty common practice in Europe too! Link to post Share on other sites

Although, in the event that Ake would prefer a move to us, and Chelsea made a bid of £40m, we could just bid slightly more than that so that Bournemouth accept it. Link to post Share on other sites

There's another window between now and Chelsea's ban being lifted. Would have thought Bournemouth will sell at that point (assuming they're not in trouble). Link to post Share on other sites

Because I'm imagining a hypothetical situation where no other club is in for him so £60m is his market value as that is what we might be willing to pay. It's all just theory though, don't take what I'm saying too seriously. Link to post Share on other sites

Analysethis 251 Posted 9 August 2019 Report Share Posted 9 August 2019 Im not that bothered about Ake to be honest. Whenever I have seen him I thought he was decent but makes quite a few errors. Anyway we lose Maguire and gain Benkovic and Caglar who might have been here last season but hardly played as he had difficulty in settling. Amartey plays CB for Ghana and even Fuchs can play in that position in addition to looking at the u23 squad at players like Pașcanu. We will be just fine. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the rule is a player can't register with 3 clubs but when Chelsea sign him they wouldn't necessarily have to register him, like how we didn't register King last season. A player can belong to the club but not be registered so I think it would be possible. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Oxlong 7,858 Posted 9 August 2019 Report Share Posted 9 August 2019 (edited) Wish we’d signed him Cheap printing option for the shirt It would’ve been between Nathan (had he signed) and Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha Edited 9 August 2019 by Mike Oxlong 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If Football Manager's anything to go by, you can buy a player who's already played for 2 clubs in the season, but then you can't pick them until the next season. The number of times I bought a player in January, only to find out he wouldn't be eligible... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
