De Bruyne Alternative?

[Ray78]

You can't turn down a bid if it meets the release clause. The only way we wouldn't get him if we paid his release clause is if he didn't want to come.

He is staying in Madrid.

I think Bale would consider if City went in given his treatment from Madrid fans.

I think 7 days is laughable amount of time left if we got ideas of going in for Bale without any groundwork. If it were possible though, I think Bale would be a much better option than KDB. He's got pace and power and a shot on him, he's also got more of a presence and could see us challenge in the champs league much more realistically.

i know i posted this in the de bruyne post but i'll copy it over:

All right I think that I'm going to be unpopular here but I really don't want De Bruyne to come here. Why? I don't know where he will fit into the team without affecting the balance of the team. I don't think we will spend over £50 million on someone to play in his unnatural position which means that Silva is most likely to be asked to play on the left or right. Silva has stated publicly for spain that he hates playing on the right which means that he will have to play him on the left like last season. The problem with this is that we will have to move sterling over to the right, yes he can play well here but his best position is on the left and as we have seen early on the season he has a good relationship with kolorov.

I'd be much happier with

Navas Silva Sterling

Aguero

than

sterling de bruyne silva

aguero

because it the second option gets rid of the width.

If I were to get one "realistic" bundesliga player then it would have to be aubameyang from dortmund. I know he signed a new contract but i read somehwere that dortmund would be willing to let him go for £35 million and we all know that contracts don't mean anything in football, especially these days. This would solve another issue because he can also play up front if needed. This means that no balance will be lost because he can just come in on the right hand side instead of navas, who has been brilliant this season i must add.

This would leave us with around £25 million to spend which I would buy krychowiak from sevilla. For me he is the best defensive midfielder in the world after busquets and is a huge upgrade from fernando. Another advantage from this is that we would steal him from arsenal, the clowns .

I apologise if my imagination is getting the better of me but I really don't want de bruyne to come here because a) he is expensive and b) i think he would ruin the balance of the team.

It doesn't need groundwork. I don't understand all this preparing bid stuff, Chelsea can get a deal done in a day. This de bruyne deal has taken the piss. Put 80 million in for bale and offer him 300k a week.

Januzaj? Home grown as well.

 

[yayas trusty right foot]

If we are interested in Bale, we will have already done the groundwork..

 

[King-Kun]

Bale, Isco or Griezmann. In fact, I'd go for one of those (any one would do) in addition to De Bruyne.
