Him and Ake are both fast, two assets we missed last season as every team that had fast players ripped us a new one.

Exactly mate.
We need pace at CB with the style of football we play, and perhaps more now with Rodri as our 6 rather than Dinho, to recover on counterattacks, which everyone knows is the primary way to defeat us.
To be fair, this was also why we wanted Koulibaly, who also has loads of pace as well.
Strength and arial ability are also important, along with technical prowess.
He fits the bill and has loads of potential.
I don't feel this is a panic buy, it's just the next best alternative and it could prove to be the better signing if it goes through.

I know its Garcia being a knob at the but for me its peps fault for dropping him.after playing well and clean sheet in December

You aren't far wrong
We have three solid CBs this season, Laporte, Ake and Garcia. And surely that's ok? Yes we lose Garcia in all likelihood next summer but thats a year away. We still have him this season and him and Laporte were a decent pairing. If we stick to a solid back four for most of the games and don't constantly make 2,3 or even 4 changes then we will be fine in defence
Still need a forward though[/quote
If we get legs in MF and a killer forward like say Kane the defence will have less to-do. Fact is we overplay lose it and first chance they score. Story of last season. With MF stuck on the halfway line.

We are demanding 25m, Barca only willing to pay I think 15m. Not exactly free.
This dude apparently is more rated than Carlos, top Spanish clubs are eyeing him up. They say 50m is a steal.

He's going to leave for free, IMO.
Nick: No, it's not the same in any way whatsoever mate.
Pep probably dropped Garcia because right after he started that game with the clean sheet he told us he won't sign a new contract and wants to go back to Barca.
Garcia has 1 year left on his contract.
Kounde is signed through 2024.
Koulibaly is signed through 2023
