You're bored?

Can never have too many good players but bearing in mind our success this season seems to be down to the fact that we have 2 wingers providing width which Silva has benefited from as he has more space to work his magic and bearing in mind that KDB is more of a No.10 than a winger, how exactly does he fit in to our current system? Unless we are just giving Sterling/Silva/De Bruyne free roles behind Aguero.
 
This is done people. Relax. There's far too many public people speaking about it. Nasri's comments on MOTD,Chappy on twitter, Sky's pundits openly commenting on it.

Enjoy tomorrow.

(and if you doubt me, head to the match day thread from yesterday. I predicted the exact minute we'd open the scoring ;-) )

I got your drift.

The moaning on here and the daggers that are thrown in Txikis direction is completely out of order. It's not easy convincing players to choose us over Bayern etc ......

But that's what he's facing. We are in a place now where a player, if given a choice, will stop and think about joining us, even if the other team was Real Madrid. I mean seriously, what an achievement.

Now we have made it into the ring, we have to win one of the fights because landing these players will help us win a champions league and when that happens we are no longer the 2 choice. We are 1st.

Getting there is going to take a monumental effort but we have the right people leading us and it will happen in the near future.

During the early stages the take over we bought incredibly well. Those players are now the spine of our team. That has allowed to win trophies domestically.

We now need to move to the next stage and your Pogbas and De Bruynes of this world are the ones who make that happen.

I'm rambling now. Just want this done.
 
It's my Birthday and any signs of movement on this would be very good start.

Would rather have griezman or bale, please go to bayern. I love seeing the pace out wide, think silva does too.

Bale definitely wouldn't happen in this window. Although I'd love for that to happen. With his buyout clause, I think Griezmann could be a possibility but he's very similar to Sterling in that he's more a winger and secondary striker. DeBruyne is an attacking mid you can shift to either flank allow to rove around the pitch much like Silva. Don't think there are too many player like him that are his age, as good and available.

Which is why I think City should have made an offer Wolfsburg couldn't refuse.

Bale would move if someone paid 100m sterling for him, he's not worth it though and even though as a Boyo he is one of my favourite non city players I am not sure he is the right player for City in terms of the way he plays, strikes me more as Chelsea style
 
Meaning no disrespect to LoveCity (whose twatter feed I have more or less permanently open in a browser window all year long) or anyone else, but I do not get on any level this notion of "oh he would surely rather go to Bayern if them or us."

Horsefeathers. ALREADY City are a bigger club in everything other than 'istree and "number of glory hunters in the Teutonic world."

That isn't Mr. Blue-tinted specs talking either. That's Forbes, Deloitte, whomever else that quantifies brand valuation. So many lists and maybe they are ahead of us on one or two but not for long going forward. I believe even the revenue generated already by City exceeds theirs.

The English Premier League is the PREMIER entity of world sport. It is now and will be even more so going forward. This game is played on so many levels - endorsements, image rights, every other damned thing. At City you have a worldwide organisation devoted to building you up as a global superstar. Backed by almost limitless resources. Bayern are big but they are never going to have that. End of.

If I'm De Bruyne's agent I know where the bread is to be buttered now. And next year. And the year after, And the year after that. Is it a coincidence that people like Aguero and Silva immediately rubbish the crap media talk of them going to play in Spain every year? Is it a coincidence that all of our players more or less happily re-up their contracts here so they can be a part of all of this? Well not Milner, but good riddance. Sorry Milner fans, but no fucking where near good enough and never was. Club already looks loads better without having to try to placate him with a start every other week or so. But I digress.

I don't personally know any of the people involved and maybe there is some personal appeal to De Bruyne of living in Bavaria. That I'd understand, as it really is a lovely place.

But as a business decision? Business I do know. So fuck no, fuckety fuck no, and fuck no a million times more. He isn't going there if that's the basis for decision.

Rant over. Enjoy the moment that you get the e-mail from City confirming his signing, all.

Agreed. But, if the goal is to ultimately move to a 4-3-3, Bale would certainly fit. Under our current system, I don't think he fits either. For me, the player that fits best as a DeBruyne alternative is Reus. Can play on the left or right and can certainly operate in the middle. Only problem is, I don't think he leaves Dortmund, ever. And the premier league might be too physical for him as he's a little injury prone

I like your style.
We have Aguero and Silva, two of the pre eminent footballers in the world loving and thriving playing for our club. Bollocks to boyhood dreams or any other crap our rivals spout. We're the real deal and top level footballers are realising that.
