City are all over the place defensively.
Nothing new there - Laporte still to get back to fitness but Ake was never the answer to their defensive problems.
I thought it pretty odd his value didn't decrease after last season's dreadful performance. For whatever reason I watched a lot of Bournemouth last season - and despite his good presence on the pitch (something pundits talk up about CBs), he looked a shell of the player he was the previous season. Paying that much for the CB of a relegated team that went down because of their defense makes no sense.
