Are we still worried that Bayern will offer Dante plus money to KDB to stay one more season in Wolfsburg?
If so I noticed that on the weekend Benatia left Bayerns game in Hoffenheim with an injury, and Boateng got the red card. Javi Martinez is still injured as far as I understand, so that leaves Dante as the only available CB for Bayerns next game. Sounds a bit unrealistic to send him to Wolfsburg perhaps?

If Pogba is a no go, we could do a lot worse than Barkley. Excellent young player.
I like Barkley a lot but I think I'd let him stew at Everton for a year or so before going in for him. He could be the new Yaya in years to come but there's not much room for him in the starting XI right now. I just don't know where he'd play at the moment.

Don't be silly this is Guardiola we're talking about, Muller and Lewandowski at full back, Lahm and Thiago at centre half, Dante up front and Neuer in midfield alongside Rafinha. Problem solved.
Yaya is unique, we won't see a new Yaya for some time.I like Barkley a lot but I think I'd let him stew at Everton for a year or so before going in for him.

If we don't get KdB I don't really think we should go for anyone else, we're technically fine as is and the only other targets that can improve us we won't get this late in the window or they won't move as they're at a better club already. De Bruyne is a transfer that should be able to push us an extra mile in CL, but we can still win PL without him.
People moaning about De Bruyne should come out to push the move, aguero never said a word stayed loyal to his club and was linked to every top club in Europe, then he signed for us..
Errm not true he released a statement on his website weeks before he joined us to say he wanted to leave!
To be fair didn't Aguero release a statement that summer saying he wouldn't return to Atletico and then stayed in Argentina instead of going back to training while discussing a move to us?People moaning about De Bruyne should come out to push the move, aguero never said a word stayed loyal to his club and was linked to every top club in Europe, then he signed for us..
I'm now beggining to doubt the wisdom of this signing and where he will fit into the side under the current set up.
I think the long term plan will be for him to replace Silva's spot in the team, lets face it that wont be for another three years at least as Silva is untouchable in my eyes. The problem then is that he will have to play as we are spending £50m + to land him , he wont be sat on the bench in any of the big games. The only spot that is open is to replace Navas on the right.
There are a couple of issues with this
1. He doesn't work as hard as Navas , he will show a similar amount of tracking back that Silva and Nasri display, which is basically a token effort in most cases.
2. He is not a right winger so will have a tendency to cut inside into the space that Silva is operating in, simlar to how Silva and Nasri interact when they are both on the pitch.
The current set up is so balanced , we are just a bit hamstrung with the fact that Navas doesn't really offer a goal threat and couldn't finish his dinner.
I would prefer us to go out and get the best orthadox right winger we can , which could be the reason we were looking at Pedro.
