De Bruyne would be a big upgrade, I think he's brilliant. Mourinho dropped a clanger selling him.
After they way De Bruyne was treated by Mou and the way he left I don't think it will be like Matic....

If he comes to City, and we continue playing 4-4-2 I don't thing that he will be the some good.

Away at Inter, his first half was exactly the player we need & would be a huge improvement, his 2nd half was as bad as Nasri at the Camp Nou & would be an absolute liability.

The £50m man?? Surely not?

He might give the ball away a lot, but he'd bring the directness that we need. I'm sure we'll be in for him this summer.

Another B lister in my opinion.
If he is a B lister, then more seasons like this and a bigger platform will make him an A lister. He is probably of similar status to what David Silva was at the same age, playing for a decent side and trailed by some of the big guns.
Who are the better alternatives for us, who are actually available? Reus isn't available, Isco isn't available, Bale isn't available as far as we know.
We need new/more attacking midfielders and he'll probably be the best on the market, along possibly with Sterling. His corners and crosses are also good which could make him extra useful to us.

Pretty sure Courtois was banging his bird aswell and I don't see him leaving Chelsea any time soon.
After looking at her, Thibaut probably did him a favour
De Bruyne would represent a smart move as we look to replace our first generation of success; as someone rightly pointed out, Silva wasn't a top level player when we signed him, but he had the potential to be. Our next wave of signings have to be of that age/potential profile.
There's no point in making knee-jerk moves for this summer's Di Marias and Falcaos. Taking in the likes of Schneiderlin, De Bruyne, Sterling and Ramsey and allowing them to develop to the next level gradually will be far more beneficial in the medium-long term for us. We need to build a well-balanced team to supplement the genius of Silva and ego of Aguero, not stifle it.

Couldnt agree more. There arent many (any) finished articles at 23 years old, we need to be taking the next crop of promising young talent and making them into world class players by playing with and being around the likes of Silva and Aguero.

I think de bruyne would be a steal for 20, and if we could swap dzeko and cash for maybe de bruyne and rodriguez that would be incredible

The original post was a quote saying we were lining up for a £20 swoop for de bruyne...

Didn't Wolfsburg pay £19million for him?

We have players that can play in his position, and good ones: Nasri and Jovetic. We have other areas to cover in our team, mainly a LB, CM and a left footed winger. Some would compare de Bruyne with Silva - he is not even near Silva s level when he joined us. The 27m pounds(or so) that we payed for Silva was a robbery as Valencia had financially problems and were forced to sell. We sell Nasri, that has proven himself countless times, for 15m and pay 40m (I imagine this is what is going to cost us) for a player who missed the opportunity to prove himself in England but had a good season in Bundesliga. Is nonsense.

Impossible. He would then be the 70 million Euro man and that is insane.

If I had to guess I would say between 30m-40 m pounds is what Wolfsburg will demand with the lower euro. But they are a rich club, more likely to make an exchange deal for someone than just money, such as Dzeko+cash.

Jose wouldn't have sold him if he was any good.
