De Bruyne Alternative?

Marcos Lopes will do fine.

No point wasting money on inferior alternatives when we have talented homegrown youth that could probably do a similar job anyway.
 
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.
Chelsea got pedro deal done rapid, maybe we could do the same if bale was open to the move. That seems to be the key to deals happening. Not sure how much kdb wants to come to city.

Pedro had a buy out clause, no real haggling to be done with the club makes it much quicker.
 
If not KDB then nobody imo, we should only be looking for a winger if the right player is on the market, and neither Bale, Griezmann, Reus or Isco are available or want to move. Any winger that's available other than De Bruyne wouldn't take us to the next level, guys like Draxler, Montero and Oxlade would be squad players rotating with Navas and Nasri, in which case I'd just prefer we use Lopes instead.
 
Bale any day over KDB
I have a sneaking suspicion that this could be an option. I think part of the reason for the delay on KDB isn't entirely Wolfsburg making.

There is no way that KDB is worth almost £60m , which is seemingly what they want for him now.

I have always thought that the main target was Pogba this summer , with De Bruyne only coming to the fore once that became a non starter, now KDB looks to have gone west due to the fee, we move to the next target.

Bale would be worth the €100m Real would want for him, he is exactly what we need as well, which also counts against De Bruyne


A front four of Aguero , Sterling , Bale and Silva is as good as anything on the planet
