De Bruyne?

[TFC]

De Bruyne would represent a smart move as we look to replace our first generation of success; as someone rightly pointed out, Silva wasn't a top level player when we signed him, but he had the potential to be. Our next wave of signings have to be of that age/potential profile.

There's no point in making knee-jerk moves for this summer's Di Marias and Falcaos. Taking in the likes of Schneiderlin, De Bruyne, Sterling and Ramsey and allowing them to develop to the next level gradually will be far more beneficial in the medium-long term for us. We need to build a well-balanced team to supplement the genius of Silva and ego of Aguero, not stifle it.

Couldnt agree more. There arent many (any) finished articles at 23 years old, we need to be taking the next crop of promising young talent and making them into world class players by playing with and being around the likes of Silva and Aguero.

I think de bruyne would be a steal for 20, and if we could swap dzeko and cash for maybe de bruyne and rodriguez that would be incredible

What gives you the impression that he will be available for that pitiful amount?

The original post was a quote saying we were lining up for a £20 swoop for de bruyne...

Didn't Wolfsburg pay £19million for him?

We have players that can play in his position, and good ones: Nasri and Jovetic. We have other areas to cover in our team, mainly a LB, CM and a left footed winger. Some would compare de Bruyne with Silva - he is not even near Silva s level when he joined us. The 27m pounds(or so) that we payed for Silva was a robbery as Valencia had financially problems and were forced to sell. We sell Nasri, that has proven himself countless times, for 15m and pay 40m (I imagine this is what is going to cost us) for a player who missed the opportunity to prove himself in England but had a good season in Bundesliga. Is nonsense.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

The £50m man?? Surely not?

Impossible. He would then be the 70 million Euro man and that is insane.

 

[Sergi0 Na5r1]

If I had to guess I would say between 30m-40 m pounds is what Wolfsburg will demand with the lower euro. But they are a rich club, more likely to make an exchange deal for someone than just money, such as Dzeko+cash.

Jose wouldn't have sold him if he was any good.
