cubaricho Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Pokerprince2004 said: Who would be a better signing between Ake and Botman? Another, why not both? type of question. Ake has proven PL ability, Botman doesn't but is only 21/22 so has a huge upside. Get both in (and Botman comes good) and we have our main CB pairing for the next few seasons at the very least. In the fantasy world where we get both, along with Digne, a back four of Trippier/Botman/Ake/Digne is the best back four outside of the what? top 6? 4? We'd be in great hands for the foreseeable future. Edited January 5, 2022 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Not a chance the sums being spoken about for De Jong would be spent on one player in this window given the league position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's willing to come, I don't see why not. Money is not going to be an issue for this club, we are richer than everyone else by tenfold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If Digne isn't interested, get Aarons from Norwich and play Trippier at LB. Sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people wanted to sign him after he hadn't played for 18 months with one of the most serious injuries you could get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
