Who by?
He was around the first team squad at the start of last season and looked out of his depth to me.

Whatever, the next age group down won the league as well, so decks need to be cleaned and choices need to be made. You can’t keep every young player at the club, sadly.

I think he's 'ok'. Might go on and develop in his 20s. BUT he's not ready to be a first teamer yet.
It's only fair we let these players leave so they can find their level and allow the next group to see if they are good enough.
Honestly I think that's how we sell the academy to these kids and the parents.
'Come and learn here, in the best environment. If you're good enough you'll get your chance. If not we'll help you find the right club and won't ask for a stupid fee. We'll likely have a sell-on clause etc... and could bring you back.
Now it's up to you to show you're good enough.'

Pep called him “incredible”. He scored 3/3 in pre-season and was chosen to train with the first team. Not sure what else would be classed as highly rated.

Maybe he didn't kick on the way the coaching staff had hoped?
Maybe the lad in his position in the age group below him is considered a better prospect?

If everyone here finally gets to realise that, it will be a great day
Twas ever the same really - when we were crap, so were the youngsters. Now we have good youngsters the first team is stellar!
The youngsters are an important part of the financial business. Not too many Fodens about though

Most of the time at least one of our CB's is crocked (Usually Stones)
Last seson even Fern slotted in, so selling Ake would leave us vulnerable at CB, and I don't see anyone else ready to step up

Ake has said he’s looking forward to coming back and challenging for the first team more this season. Just paper talk with him.
