Backup plan
Tbh I felt exactly the same when I first saw links to us, I wondered how the fuck a player with his pass completion rate, would possibly fit in at City. But I've done a complete about turn on that & actually now think the opposite. Someone who does something different, is exactly what we need. He 'has a go' . Sometimes, as a team, we don't.
Re counter attacking, I think we will do a lot more of that this season, Chelsea being an example. But against the bus parkers in a possession game, DeBruyne may be the key which unlocks it.
This is a big one for City imo. Bigger than Pogba. We will be great without him, but with him, we could be something unstoppable.

He starts for Wolfsburg
It isn't flapping to say we should have a ceiling price for a player. 50 million represents a more than fair offer and a major increase on what they paid for him. I agree, time to walk away if this isn't enough.
if he gets injured Wolfsburg are screwedIf he gets injured ( and before you fukers jump on me :-) I hope he doesn't, I hope we have a quick plan B
Right City lets call their bluff, offer them £60m and see what happens,if they say they want £65m we'll know for sure they are playing us so that we'll pull out of the deal,
Nasri, MilnerI may be wrong, probably am but I can't remember seeing a player turn out for his club so close to a supposed transfer
And the next time we went after a good player, they will inflate the price even more because City paid £60m for KDB.Right City lets call their bluff, offer them £60m and see what happens,if they say they want £65m we'll know for sure they are playing us so that we'll pull out of the deal,
