De Bruyne?

[cleavers]

Whats the point of waiting until the end of the window? Will the price be cheaper? No. Are we in desperate need of a player like De Bruyne? Yep......why wait? Its sad actually as without saying like for like he is literally begging us to buy him!

Read this thread, it might give you a clue in answer to "why wait".

No, why would that make any difference ?

Thought that was the reason before Jovetic were shipped?

 

[Ray78]

So we can't deal with two parties at a time? The way this shit is panning out, I don't think we will make any addition to first team squad.

Both Wolfsburg and AS Roma are out to dry bum the club then it would take maximum effort from stopping them doing that and have to deal with them at different times

This forum is a bit like my kids, no sweets on Saturday and they get all mard, not got the patience to realise they might be getting sweets on Sunday

It's amazing how he's went from a Chelsea reject valued at £20,000,000 to a world class assist machine worth £50,000,000 in 9 month.

Good job Delph wasn't brought in to score goals.

Anchoring the midfield can let Yaya go forward though can't it.

Not sure you thought that through.

Tell you what, that **** Hart has scored fuck all except the odd penalty. Sell him.

Come on mate, I said quite clearly:

They're different players of course, with different strengths and weaknesses, but I don't understand why you'd have you denigrate Lampard to elevate Delph.

Worth pointing out though that Delph wasn't Villa's anchorman De Jong type, he was their do it all centre mid. And that goal return is poor whichever way you look at it.

My point though was simply that it's a debatable point whether or not Delph for Lampard represents a strengthening of the squad. Especially since Yaya's a year older for example.

I'd argue that it is though, given Yaya's proven himself a reliable goal scorer, and like you said, bringing in Delph could see us pushing Yaya forward for example - if need be.

Plus, the pursuit of De Bruyne is far from dead yet. Horses for courses.

I just took exception to you undermining Lampard's contributions last season.

KDB and Pogba by next week. ..
It's ridiculous the amount of bad mouthing of the board. This is the middle of a fantastic window and the impatience is staggering.

Completely agree, although been known to have egg of my face from time to time

If we willing to pay "Sterling fee" and that meets Wolfsburg valuation....surely things should start moving soon?

So we are willing to do a deal at what Wolfsburg want for him, KDB has said he wants to come yet we still haven't bid yet.

What are you talking about? lampard's legs have gone. He got a few goals last season but most games passed him by. we did well to squeeze some contribution from him, but he's finished as a top level player. Delph is 25 and a very good midfielder and for that reason represents an enormous upgrade on Lampard. It's ridiculous to suggest anything else.

WOW!

Thanks for the updates, mate!

Was thinking the very same thing mate......;)

You're not following me mate.

Their discussion was about a disagreement on whether or they considered the squad to be strengthened.

I'm not arguing we should have kept Lampard, he's past it, and a year older. I'm arguing that his contribution last year was pretty reasonable, that's all. SWP was more or less writing it off entirely.

I also think his influence around the dressing room was a good one as well, Zabaleta commented on his professionalism and how inspiring it was to see a player of his age, who'd achieved so much, still working so hard in training. But that's another discussion.

WOW!

Any 24 hour tattoo parlours about ?

Would love KDB in our line up Monday come on City.

Don`t read too much in to what the media is claiming.They know jack shit like everyone else.There could be legitimate reasons for the hold up and not all to do with City !!

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Qatar would disagree with that, which is why they own most of London and bought the World Cup.

There is no comparison between the two countries. One is funding ISIS and one is bombing them.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Well, seeing as though De Bruyne has said himself there has been no bid then surely that suggests there has been no bid.

I don't know what they're up to. But it's a week before the season starts and they seem to be pretty damn laconic given that fact.

A helpful suggestion. Do not believe anything a footballer, agent, manager, or DOF says during the transfer window.

the article was on City Watch but I'm not sure how to post the picture, and I don't want to post a link after Ric's recent message. Blackburn states were going to make a bid in excess of £40m, which ties in with Ric saying a deal will be done around £46m. I'd imagine Blackburn has been briefed by the club, as he's good for City related news.

You can post links...just not the full content.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

I'm confident he will sign but there's absolute no chance we will have him signed by dinner time on Friday, which is the cut off time.

Does our Monday game affect the cut off time?
