The annoying thing is the club will sack him when results go pear shaped.
If we can't get a replacement for Ake, dont sell him in the first place, thats why Juve won't sell us Sandro and rightly so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They will only sack him if it's largely his fault. The transfer windows of 2010 and 2015 were NOT an excuse for Carlo and Jose's woeful managerial performance's that followed.
Also we did replace Ake, his name is Rudiger.

Matic wanted to leave or was surplus to requirements? Point being even if they want to leave why should the club just let them leave? Sanchez wants to leave, Arsenal will hold on to him, Koulibaly wanted to leave, Modric wanted to leave, Alex Sandro wants to leave... But their current employers had/have them tied down to a contract so why should we bend over backwards for players wanting to leave?
We sold Cech to Arsenal, Matic & Mata to United, Lukaku to Everton, I just can't grasp why our club doesn't realise the knock on effect this can have to our own ambitions of winning trophies, Matic to Utd makes them genuine title contenders.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that right? That must explain why none of those player's have won or even challenged for a title since leaving us while we have walked two, you have a strange definition of the meaning knock on affect.
And United aren't title contenders, season to soon.
I can understand the frustration. We do exactly the same thing every time we win the title.
The only difference in our case is that's once every 132 years!
We should sign Bale,Barkley and Ox plus one more striker such as Bony or Benteke.
Bale wouldn't come to us, Utd will be all over him like a rash.
Is Barkley any better than Baker? He'd cost in excess of £50m.
I'm on board with the Ox but that link appears to have faded away.
Wheres Bony even at these days?
No thanks to Benteke

I have never in my life called Matic matshiiit. He is world class.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wahly you've been caught rotten 😂😂😂
- Matic being sold to Utd of all teams.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Really not that big a deal. Bought in a younger player who suits the system more for the same money. As far as United goes, it gives them options but no guarantee he'll give them anything they don't already have. Unless Mourinho changes it up, all forcing Matic into the team week in week out will do is push Herreira (one of their stars last season) or Mata to the bench.
- Ake sold before we even brought in a replacement and now we are desperately trying to sign Sandro, Who wont come.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ake isn't a WB, he was CB cover which we've addressed by signing Rudiger - a more proven player.
- Chalobah for £5m was a joke but to then look to sign Drinkwater for 6 times the amount
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Money is moot, Drinkwater's a better player, it's an upgrade if it happens.
- Telling Costa, One of the best strikers in the league, He wasn't needed and now we'll sell him for pretty much what we bought him for even though in this market he's a £70m+ striker
-----------------------------------------------------------------
That I agree with. We should've cashed in last window when 80mil was on the table, my opinion. And while I initially didn't think it was a big deal that he was told he'd be surplus I'm slowly changing my mind given he hasn't moved. Hopefully a compromise can be reached (similar to Eto'o/Guardiola in 2008) and he stays on until January at least.
