De Bruyne?

We're trying to become a CL winning team. If you think we can get there with a 32 year old Yaya, Fernandinho, a pretty average player in Fernando and Fabian Delph then we're going to strongly disagree

We have 4 senior centre midfielders too which just isn't enough for the season ahead.

There is definitely a gap in our centre midfield.

It would be suicidal to play Pogba and Yaya together so Fernandinho has to play.

Yaya is not going to be benched and pogba will demand to play every week as well. These players do not accept rotating, and cost too much to be on the bench anyway. KDB arriving rules out 433.

There is no space in our midfield for another starter. At best we could buy a back up for Yaya who has enough promise to maybe replace him one day.

Also look at barca's midfield. Their back ups are sergi roberto and Rafinha. That did not stop them winning the CL.

All well and good, but we still wouldn't get Pogba for £35m and Nasri.

I doubt we could get him at all at this stage. More so now we're in their group.

Balls if I can think of many alternatives in a similar quality bracket though. Verratti, perhaps, but PSG wouldn't sell.

Can we possibly get pogba before the window closes ....

70M Euros = roughly 50.8M GBP.

6M less without addons than anyone thought. Good deal.

Txixi out, right?

 

[Salfordian Blue]

He is clearly the best passing player in the world

He might not even be the best passing player in our team. Little Dave is ungodly good at picking out his man.
That we have both is unreal.

Has it struck anyone that the club read this forum, know full well that we were spying on De Bruyne so have sent a van as a decoy to the hospital and in reality Kevin is currently at the academy getting a pre-match tour? Not saying that is what is happening mind..

That's £6m less than they wanted.

He also got Sterling for £6m less than Liverpool wanted.

He's essentially just saved us the cost of Fernando by this fucking about

£1m really
