De Bruyne?

Pedro is City's fall-back option if they can't get Kevin De Bruyne. Wolfsburg have still to reply to their £47m bid.

City will keep pursuing for De Bruyne, but will switch back to Pedro if they feel it is not going to happen.

De Bruyne does not look like he will agitate for the move, so City must decide if they will offer over £50m.

I like Pedro, but I'd rather go in to the season with what we already have in attack, maybe use the money somewhere else, like in midfield. Then again, those who make the decisions probably think we need more goal-scorers.

Rag.

Yeah, that joke isn't funny any more.

If we can't get kdb if rather go for Reus than pedro.

I don't think it has anything to do with £3m. I just think we've left it too late for Wolfsburg to bring in a more than adequate replacement. KDB is far & away their best player, losing him would be curtains for their season.

I think we'll get him for a lower fee next summer.

Then why are we still talking to Wolfsburg. If what you say is correct negotiation would have been terminated. Have a little patience.

True. But it's to their CL advantage to keep us dangling long enough until we don't have time to get a great alternative in.

Indeed.

I get the feeling the Pedro Rags thing is almost a done deal and we'd have to move quick to intervene. Reus, if it were possible, would be superb.

How unprofessional are wolfsburg coming over not even replying to an offer.

 

[Salfordian Blue]

Reus, if it were possible, would be superb.

100% agree... although I think landing him would be harder than both De Bruyne and Pedro combined.

I think people are underestimating Pedro. To be honest I think he was always underestimated under Guardiola, with the focus always on Messi and Villa, now Messi and Neymar.

He's not been in the best form recently, but remember this is they guy who benched Alexis Sanchez for so long he left Barcelona. If he gets a regular run in a team he will be right up there. I definitely don't want to see the rags get hold of him.

Nothing unprofessional about it. They are playing their own hand and doing it pretty well. It's annoying as shit but this is business not sport.
