Norwich set asking price at £12m, apparently.

Would be happy with this. Would love for him to make the grade with us & the Blackburn move did him the world of good. So are we going to effectively swap him out with Rodriguez in the squad?

Would be nice. I was thinking earlier about the Højbjerg signing. Remember that one? We got a quote from his agent on the Sunday, and he was signed on the Monday. Not many are done like that these days.

Hearing it from multiple sources confirms it's the worst kept secrets What I want to know is the price... £25m would be a terrible price.

Agreed. Been reading up on him. Sounds like a talented kid. Also thought Mariano Diaz at Madrid looked a talent, but apparently off to Lyon.

Great coaching from Howe & an unbelievable run from King helped with that. Every Cherries fan I know is desperate to get Ake back.

I'd rather have Eric Black than Tony Adams.

Alan Nixon saying Watford are in for Robertson at Hull.

- They went to pot when Ake left. - Begovic is an instant upgrade to Boruc. There's not really much of an argument to make against it.

"Come & join us, Ryan. Here's a massive pay rise and a lovely recaro seat on our bench."

http://thesun.uk/60168WA3E They will be so much stronger with Ake & Begovic onboard.

Indeed. The original link to city came about because they were quoted £40m for Mendy so preferred Bertrand as he'd be cheaper. There's no way he should be worth half of Kyle Walker.

Just seen a price of £25m mentioned. Ridiculous.

From sam Wallace article in the telegraph: LOL.

Welcome Mauricio. If he beats San Pellegrino Lemon as my favourite Pellegrino, he'd have done a great job.

Has anyone reputable over here backed up that story?

Hope it's true just to see the Merseyside Meltdown

Sometimes...

Chelsea stockpile so much talent, we could probably pick a player from every position.

Can we make it £50m+ Ake? They've probably got a fair few players I'd be happy to take off their hands, to be honest.
