De Bruyne?

Injury prone.

Get out City while you still can! Crock! He's a crock!!!

(I'm all giddy again, I hope Pogba get's a bruised foot aswell!)
 
Please let this be a sign that a deal is imminent. I want Pogba as much as anyone but if we can get De Bruyne in I really won't be too.bothered if we miss out on Pog.

I agree BluePhil8....if we can get De Bruyne done, it will take a bit of the pressure off...both are important to our long term plans but I see a team with De Bruyne, Sterling and Delph in the starting line-up, a big improvement and more than capable of getting the prem back this season...this week should be interesting!;)

I agree, KDB would be enough to win the league. His goals+assists would take the attacking pressure off Yaya, so I don't think he would need to get forward so much and leave us vulnerable defensively. Add in Delph as a much better 3rd choice in midfield which means we should be able to rest Yaya like the 32 year old he is instead of playing him for 90minutes 2x a week.

We'd see Yaya at his best much more often - That on it's own would be enough to win the league back. Pogba would elevate the club to the next level, but brings some serious selection dilemmas as well, and balancing that squad will be difficult.
 
I too feel that De Bruyne is the key signing. His creativity is exactly what we need and long term he can help cover Silva. With Delph added to the squad we have a lot of energy in midfield with him and Fernandinho and if we played a midfield three then Yaya would have more freedom to do what he does best and we wouldn't need to rely on him coverind defensively. Long term, Pogba would be a fantastic signing but for the season ahead adding De Bruyne would be more than enough to challenge on all fronts and Yaya could be utilised in a much better way than we saw last season.

That'd be my only concern if we get Pogba aswell. It would seem like Pogba and Yaya would be fighting for a place alongside Fernandinho or Delph who would be doing the same. Putting the two in alongside one another would be tactical suicide.

Don't get me wrong there will be a hell of a lot of games to be played so they'd inevitably get more than enough minutes but who's no.1 in the biggest matches? Would we spend £70m on a lad and then have him as Yaya's backup, or do it the other way around, buy lots of cake and hope for the best?
