De Bruyne?

Sounds possible, but it would be very demanding on the midfield 2. Toure wasn't doing any work off the ball last season.

I'm not going to go on about it, but it bothers me a bit. We have come to be very reliant on him over the last few years

Very true. I also think if there is an inkling we can get Pogba the De Bruyne chase will become redundant. It would be a waste having a player like Pogba and him playing in a holding two.

Maybe if we an shift Navas, Fernando, Jovetic. Otherwise we are struggling for places in the squad.

So, as a City fan, have you got any good news?

Sterling this week. I think that's good news. He gives us something we don't have and his best years are ahead of him. And obviously I thought Delph was a go-er but then so did most.

I have nothing else but I'm sure we do have other plans. I'd focus on the full back positions to be honest. If we want to persist with our style of play, we won't win the CL until all 11 starters are very comfortable with the ball. Which probably means curtains for Kolarov and Sagna. Maybe even Zab (as a regular) in the next 12-18 months. I'm not slagging then off because I love Zab and Kolarov, but for our style, we probably need pacier and more technically gifted full backs.

Sorry mate but that's a load of bollocks. Just because I don't think we are signing Pogba nor do I think we are signing De Bruyne.

To me a wum is someone who constantly gets the forum into fits of excitement with vague YouTube videos. Sticking your neck on the line without really sticking your neck on the line or being really vague about this week being a good week. That's a wum to me.

All I have done is shared some info. I'm sorry I wasn't more vague with it.

It means zero to me mate, though I'd suggest thinking before commenting in that manner, there's a good chap.....

He is not a holding player though is he

If we are not getting both pogba or Kdb who do you think we are getting then as I am very interested to hear.

Our chairman has promised we will be a lot stronger and he is no clown. If these two don't come off I am sure there will be other strong candidates.

No idea. I'm sure we will bring some quality in though. There's a lot of quality developing in Germany and France and we have one of the best scouting networks around.

I think Reus would be a good alternative to KDB. Wijnaldum who has just gone to Newcastle would have been a good option. He offers a lot of goals from centre mid. Think he got about 15 last season.

I commented in the same manner in which you have been commenting on my posts. Sorry if that offends you.

No that is the point he isn't. Pogba would take one of the more offensive positions alongside Silva and Sterling meaning De Bruyne at 40 million would be an expensive addition to provide rotation for those three.

If we did not get Pogba a three of De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling is more likely.

Well,this thread has certainly taken a swerve.......
