De Bruyne?

I agree manimanc, Kippax...the only thing I would say is that we've done enough to "improve" BUT have we done enough to challenge for the CL and win back the prem? I love the Sterling/Delph signings but not sure those 2 signings alone are enough to get us where owners want us to be....As Yaya mentioned in his interview, we still need a couple of players to reach the next level....

Yaya says #mcfc are "a couple of good players" away from being at the level of Barcelona or Real Madrid

He said nothing of the sort...he said...The target of the club is to reach that kind of level of Real Madrid and Barcelona. The manager and the chairman are working really hard but the market is not so easy, looking from afar at how many clubs are selling players.
 
KDB must be good if the Mirror have not run one negative story about Sterling just so they have more room to slate him.

Thanks Stephenhakin....did Stuart Brennan make these comments up? cheers...
 
At the end of the day, top players shouldn't be crying if new competition come in if they want to remain at a top club. You should want the club to continue to improve and you should want to get better and learn something that you didn't have in your locker before. If a player is that insecure about his position instead of looking to improve to keep his place he needs to find a lower level club to play at.

They say in business you should never be the smartest person in the room. You get complacent, you stagnate and you could lose focus because things are too easy for you. Same should apply to players who aren't already playing at the highest levels possible. There's what 60+ games possible plus all the valuable practices in between? Everyone will get more than enough time to shine if/when KDB comes in, esp since he's so versatile.
 
Sterling/Nasri Silva/Lopes KDB/Navas

What's the issue here? 5/6 can play all 3 positions. The Barker's/Roberts duo aren't as good as KDB with all that he brings right now. If we are trying to regain the league and push on in CL we need a KDB in this team so our levels don't drop if we happen to rotate during a multiple game week.

Dzeko and Jovetic are almost out of the door. So we are going to be fine in attack with major improvements across the pitch.

i think we already have enough in attack sterling, silva, lopes, navas, nasri and even yaya i think thats more than enough. Barker and roberts will be good enough in the future. especially with only 3 players up front dont think he's needed.
 
Have Blues who sare saying no to KDB seen him play? This guy can go on to be one of the top3 best in the world for me. He has everything, pace, power, determination, stamina.

Can't play the future right now. 3 years time it could be Barker KDB Roberts. You never know. Real Madrid field Ronaldo/Bale/James/Modric/Kroos/Isco Barcelona field Neymar/Messi/Suarez/Rakatic/Iniesta/Busquets.

Plus we want to have a squad of 2 at every position and we only use Yaya sparingly up top so I'm not gonna place him in an AM category.

the players you quoted all play in different positions, i was more on about our attacking side which i think is already good enough, having 2 players in every position has lead to situations like now where he have a load of unhappy players - dzeko, jovetic and doesn't work imo, it stops young players getting a chance. why can't we give potential and youth a chance now ? giving lopes a chance isn't gonna harm us imo
