Yes, but that's the point I'm making, imo Pellegrini wants a full squad if he can get it & even went to the length of keeping Boyata on for another year just to make up the numbers. Denayer is now linked with a move because Otamendi is coming in, imo, Lopes & Zuculini's rumoured loans/transfers, indicate a player coming in.Wasn't Boyata kept because he could go in the squad as club trained. Where Zucculini would take up a squad place somebody else could use,, bit confused about the U21 , B squad stuff though.
I didn't say we didn't have some value on him, but the point stands, squad number or not, he won't be priority over anyone currently in the squad, and de Bruyne will make him surplus to requirements, whether we move him out or not.Clearly City have some value on him & he has an official squad number, thus taking up a place in the 17.
He wants it.You are not helping yourself are you? I could do the merciful thing and ban you from this thread but one part of me thinks that you deserve all the stick you are getting
You can't discount Bayern and, even though some people scoffed at their supposed interest, it is real. That's presumably why even though Wolfsburg have verbally accepted our offer, they're delaying over the weekend to see what Bayern's offer is.
Just think we're too far down the line with this to let it slip though. I doubt Bayern can match our offer, to either De Bruyne or Wolfsburg, and the player is said to favour a move to Manchester.

Zuculini went out on loan last year and failed to impress, he's come back to City because he's under contract with us, nothing more nothing less, he played OK in a couple of friendlies, for which I assume he needed a (squad) number.
I'll be very surprised if he's part of any squad we submit to either the PL or UEFA come September.
Anyway back on topic, he has his own thread(s).
But he isn't "making way", de Bruyne has nothing to do with Zuculini, they are completely separate issues. One is a top footballer playing in a top team in a top league, while Zuculini is none of the above.That's the exact point why i mentioned him in this thread the first place. That he's making way for DeBruyne.
He didn't say anything resembling that.So you saying De Bruyne cant make his mind up or he is told where he has to go?
