What's new

Andreas Christensen

Still hoping he returns at the end of the season so Conte can work with him and he is one of our CB options going forward. Didn't catch any of the game last night but see BM were comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Barca and Christensen played. Anyone caught much of him lately?

 
According to news sources, he wants to make is move to borussia a permanent one.  Apparently the club are willing to make that happen if we get Bonucci . . Dafuq?

 
I won't be gutted if we sell to Gladbach tbh, never that impressed when I've seen him this year (same with Ake at CB). He's up there with John Stones for me, over hyped.

Harsh on Ake. He had a bad game against Liverpool at CB in terms of defensive performance. Today's game, scored but generally I would not he was specifically at fault for the goals. Arsenal and Stoke he was fantastic. Christensen would look better in a better team. For instance Barca he would shine and even under Conte, he would be a much better defender.

Maybe overly harsh on Ake, I thought his positioning could have been better for Southampton's 2nd. Don't get me wrong I think he'd be a good backup for Cahill in Conte's 3-4-3 but I just don't see him as a first team regular here. Christensen I think would be decent for Barcelona but I have my doubts if he'd make it in the Premier League, I'd be happy if we sold to Gladbach with a sell on clause or £30m+ to Barca, with van Dijk coming in hopefully.

it would be stupid not to extend ake's loan next season if bournemouth wants him, he's still a work in progress and a regular starter there, there's no point in hampering his development by making him a second string backup on our bench

You're talking as if Ake and Christensen are seasoned pro's, i mean they are both still under 22. They have bags of potential and I can easily see them being some of the PL's best defenders in the coming years
