UpTheLeagueFox Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 Leicester fans accusing the "the big boys" of arrogance when it comes to pinching players and with the same straight face saying established PL talents are "not good enough for us" as if we should be signing Van Dijk and those of his ilk.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 Ake is a good player but personally I'd prefer Tarks, with raiding wing backs and screening DM I think more solid and stay at home CHs will fit better.

Psstt... Geoff. That's how we establish which are the fans we have with working brains in our ranks, and those that are clearly targeted by tabloid journalism.
StriderHiryu Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 Of the three big money defenders we are linked with in Tarkowski, Dunk and Ake, Ake is for me the best player by a country mile. The other two are good, but would seem like overpriced signings. Ake I could realistically have seen go to Man City this window for 60m! He's good enough to play in the Champions League IMO. Whenever I've seen Bournemouth play, either against us or on the TV, he's always stood out in terms of quality. I doubt we'd be able to get him, but then again the Tielemans signing has genuinely made me believe anything is possible. They have always shown a big interest in Gray so that could even be a potential bargaining chip to get Ake.

Disagree, Ake is younger, more mobile, and win possession without diving in... they are both good replacements though, feel we need one rather than going with Wes, Soyunchu and benkovic ...
Dahnsouff Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 Clearly Ake would be a good signing. Why would he come? And the price would be eye watering.

That's the beauty of football, opinions differ and nobody is wrong! It will be interesting how this unfolds, in which route the club takes, I'm sure.

Ric Flair Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 Ake is very good, I loathe to stunt Soyuncu and Benkovic's progress here but if we could get him for £50m I'd do the deal.
ronnup Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 Gray could be a big factor in this. He's probably worth 25 at least in the current market and we know they like him.

I agree - I've lliked him since I first saw him when he was on loan and he has got better each season. He was very impressive last season whenever I saw him. I think he is worth a fair old wedge, he could become a really top player in my opinion.
car1os Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 If we go for Ake and use a player as part of a real, I’d rather we try to punt Ghezzal the other way than Gray. Would be interesting to see if Gray will respond and improve with Rodgers’ input and coaching.

kingfox Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 @StriderHiryu hit the nail on the head. On his day Ake is one of the best CB's in the League, I'd rather pay in the region of £50 million for Ake rather than Tarkowski or Dunk.
Bert Posted 4 August 2019 Posted 4 August 2019 18 minutes ago, Dahnsouff said: Clearly Ake would be a good signing. Why would he come? And the price would be eye watering. Because we are a bigger club than Bournemouth, we have a brand new training ground coming along, we have a bigger and better stadium, we are going to have a better season than Bournemouth and will likely pay better wages.
