Over ambitious target, with Chelsea's clause and interest from City.
Do wonder though if there's a way to lower the price by adding a player to the deal. Ironically Chambers might have been that player.Now I like Nathan Ake but not for that price, I think he’s a good player but I think there’s a lot of better options out there at a much lower price.
For me after all is said and done you’re probably looking at 70M for him.
I have a novel idea, how about we try... 40m+1.
I think because of de ligt and van dijk his chances are slimIs he good enough? I'm Dutch but hardly know anything about him really. Chelsea let him go easily.
Why would they be forced? And why couldn't Bournemouth entertain bids below £40m from other clubs that aren't Chelsea?Law seems to think that because of Chelsea's buy-back clause, other clubs may be able to get him for around £45 million.
The fact Chelsea can re-sign Ake for £40m means that Bournemouth may be forced to listen to bids of £45m from rival clubs.
How it all might work out in the end, of course, remains to be seen.
Any of them would be good, but I'd prefer Tah. Not because I think he has a higher ceiling, but because he brings experience, strength and height at a good age. Having said all that, it's that question of whether they would work out here? So at the end of the day I'll say 'sign the player who will be a success'.Who'd be AM's preferred option for CB anyways ?
Demiral, Upamecano, Ake or someone else ?
