Aké I'd be 100% convinced is a money laundering product if it were any other clubs that bought him. Complete turd of a defender but you know Howe loves overpaying for dogshit while Pep can't help himself when he sees a dodgy centre half he convulses and throws 50m in their direction. Only other good transfer I can think of is Dajuma who's a really good player and left for Villarreal and somehow 20m (!) for Wilson.
They got fleeced 40m for Ibe Solanke some Aussie and a loan for that Welsh winger. 11m for Begovic who was retired by then and let go for free shortly after. They seemed to have toned it down a notch in recent windows though, still dreadful record.
