I hope we sign KdB, even for a huge fee (not my money). But I also think we need to keep some perspective: he'd be our 4th/5th most important midfielder: behind Silva, Yaya, Sterling, and possibly Fern. I like KDB; he'd be a very capable orchestrator, along with the brilliant Silva and Yaya, creating opportunities for the attack. But he doesn't make the team.
In my view, KDB's real value to us is if / when Silva gets injured this season. Having De Bruyne in there along with the others would do a lot to keep the attack flowing. If we want to go deep into the Tourneys at home and in Europe, we really need redundancy at all key positions. My fingers are crossed -- Get it done!
