We are a prem team we have ambitions not only to stay in the top flight but also to go on and better year after year! Fogging our best player is not going to help ! Every time I watch him I think thank goodness he plays for us, if he does go it will be an indication by the nature of his departure, if we fight to keep him then it shows we do still have an inkling to thrive in the prem
I'd hate to lose him, people talk about Cook, Brooks etc but Ake is the only one who could realistically start for a top 6 side now.
Not sure how we could keep him if Man Utd offered 50 mil and offered him 120k per week though, if we offered him 120k per week then Cook, Wilson, Fraser, King etc etc would all want 100k+.
