This would be a great piece of business. However, how likely would a move actually be? You would assume that, now that Terry has left, that Ake will be quite far up the pecking order at Chelsea(?) Depends if they go for Virgil Van Dyke

He does have a point though! He is a manic depressive, Can't wait for the season to start so I can start slashing my wrists. Might dye my noose red and white as well.

Would be a decent signing, particularly if Sparky goes with 3 at the back for next season. He was immense for Bournemouth against us last season (he scored their winner as well I think) and he can play both in the middle as well as offer competition to Erik at left back.

Much rather have him as a Whelan replacement.

Ake is a centre half end of and any talk of other positions to me is just wrong

Signing this lad would change my whole opinion of the football club right now

He really isn't a left back. He was excellent at left back for Watford though. Can't he play in midfield as well? His preferred position is defensive midfield apparently.

I'm not too sure about this, he would be a massive downgrade compared to Martins Indi! I would rather us go for someone like Jeison Murrilo or Diego Llorente who we have also been linked with!

As stated above, it's his preferred position so that doesn't really make him converted. Unlike some, I'm a great believer in playing folk in their correct positions! He could obviously play in a back three as he'd have that freedom to break out but I really don't want us to go down that route.

He's a young player still learning and maybe it will be his best position. He was good against us anyway so I would sign him if possible. Not that being good against us is a clincher!

Centre back for me.
Be good to sign him and Bruno. 3 solid centre backs competing for two positions. Plus provides excellent cover for Ryan's glass back.

Sun claim he's going to Bournemouth for £20m+! £20M sounds way too steep in my opinion! Around £12 sounds more right, but I know Bmouth bid £17M in the last window!

Shame he'd be perfect. Seems like even the smaller clubs like Bournmouth and Huddersfield are prepared to spend big.
