De Bruyne?

[Smithy_]

to be honest we were battered in all those Barca L16 games, and could easily have shipped 5 or 6 per game if it wasn't for some woeful finishing and great stops from Hart

That's what i mean we weren't at our best and only lost both games by one goal. Imagine this year if Kompany and zaba have sorted their form, Mangala has a year's experience with the team under his belt and we complete the signing of KDB we'll have a tasty attacking threat. That will mean a front Four of Aguero, Sterling, Silva and KDB allowing Yaya to control midfield rather than going forward and failing to track back. Would certaintly be a different result and performance to last years

It's 27.55 with Denayer's correct DOB put in.

Whoops.....that's what you get for rushing it when you are supposed to be working and not trawling through bluemoon

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I suggst that anyone who thinks watching Aguero, Silva Sterling etc is a waste of time, should flog their season ticket now.

And he joined in 2004. I frequently wonder what's become of some of our supporters.

or 28.0 if you look it up here.... http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-city/startseite/verein/281 though players are slightly different. Its our 2nd and 3rd choice keepers that hike the age up. Remove/replace those two and it comes down a lot.

Take out Richard Wright who's unlikely to play, then it comes down a lot for the match day squad

 

[dancity19]

I wonder why this hasn't been done yet.

Ric's info a couple of weeks back seemed to suggest it would be done relatively soon. Add to that the noises both Wolfsburg and KDB have made - they will sell if it's a good price and he wants to go. He has intimated he would go, from what he has said.

Issue of foreign space has gone with Jovetic going.

Convinced it will get done, but a bit strange it isn't complete yet, I think.

Probably won't be taken seriously! But is there any actual news re the subject of this thread?

Seriously? No. At least not yet.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Much more promising according to Daily Mail article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...tml?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

Its about time he started making noises like this and is what I believe we were waiting for. He might need to get a little more "Sterling" though but better Kevin, better!

 

[George Hannah]

Gone off this lad since I found out he was a cow killer.

 

[Calv_from_the_frog]

Here's my best guess at what the current situation is concerning KDB:


1 - We're waiting for Dzeko to be sold, so that we have an extra foreign spot to put him into.

2 - There IS a disagreement with Wolfsburg at the moment, namely down to the fact that they are insisting on being paid in GBP rather than EUR.

3 - This is why the story came out the other day regarding 'I will go if someone offers £50m' (fed by Wolfsburg) and was countered with a story concerning interest for Isco (fed by City). Posturing on behalf of both clubs.

4 - The deal will get done at a price between £45-£50m (as per the most recent story in the mail, either fed by Wolfsburg to indicate flexibility, or by City to indicate what we're prepared to spend on him).

N.b. This is all guesswork as indicated in the first sentence.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

So what would be your line-up?

There is no single line-up. We will put out different squads for different games.

City getting the price down and removing the tag of football's biggest mugs. I dont know why people can't see this.

I reckon as soon as the Dzeko deal goes through a bid will go in. Roma probably known all along what we wanted to do and have held this deal up

With 3 forwards, can you play Silva and Toure - more or less automatic starters for the last 4 seasons?

Direct quote from KDB : Kevin De Bruyne has added fuel to transfer speculation linking him with a move to Manchester City after admitting 'I am not the one telling the people I am definitely going to stay'.

Don't think the issue of foreign space has gone until Dzeko goes as well.

 

[Smithy_]

If we fail to get KDB we should go for Gotze, he's come out saying he's had a troublesome two years at Munich, he'd be another great addition to the team. Rumours also juve are interested in him and if they was to sign him perhaps they'd fund the signing by the sale of Pogba?

I think he sounds as bored of this saga as a lot on here are.

In other words the clubs telling the media that he's going to stay but he personally wants out?

 

[HelloCity]

His agent....

@gustav_tornby: - "There is interest from other clubs. Don't have to mention the names, everybody knows it's PSG and Bayern Munich - big clubs"
