Nathan Ake

[Kenya Cherrie]

He got a fair few games at city last year. Pep has a rotation policy so he’s never going to start every game. Laporte is ahead of him too.

Thought he may end up at Newcastle if anywhere.

Reported last week 50m

Can't see him returning to Chelsea myself although you never know.

Ohec reporting we are keen to bring Nathan back. As much as I would love this to happen, they can't be serious!

More chance of signing me than getting Ake back

Where do they get their information from? Anyway, we have Kelly, so don't need Ake unless we plan to sell Kelly.

Long gone are the days of the Echo sports desk having inside information. It's just about driving clicks on the website now.

Howe was interested not Chelsea

we have Kelly, so don't need Ake

Thats a bold statement

Sadly a non story , as much as we all love Ake .

There was at least one story that Chelsea were too. How accurate it was is anyone's guess.

He deserves a top 6 side, where he is needed a bit more than at City.

Thats a bold statement

Apologies. I meant that it is pretty unlikely that we would want to buy Ake as we have Kelly, and unless we sell him, we would not want to spend lots of money on either cover for Kelly or someone who would make our captain a cover player. It seems logical to say that this wouldn't be the best use of our money.

If anyone including the echo really thinks Ake is going to come back here with the likes of Chelsea favourite to sign him then in the words of Waz, quite frankly you are delusional.

Now Ohec reporting no truth in the rumour, that they reported 3 hours before.
Could be a way to fill the pages everyday, tomorrow we will be interested in resigning the wee turd, only to say it's wide of the mark 3 hours later.

TBF they said we were reportedly interested, so they we regurgitating someone else's news, now they have just updated to say there is no truth in the report as they understand. Not sure what they did wrong here

Shouldn’t journalism actually involve investigating whether there is any truth in something before simply copying and pasting what some random rumour website has claimed? What they have done wrong and continue to do wrong is copying and pasting random articles without doing any investigation into them.

Its football, so no big deal really.

Thats a bold statement

Especially after seeing Kelly come a poor last in the 1600 metres. I thought these Rolls Royce players were supposed to float over the turf

Only if they are an investigative journalist. I'd argue the ohec ones are not of that ilk. They report news, in this case they thought reporting on someone else's article was indeed news.
