De Bruyne?

[g180aj]

So I'm assuming the starting line up will be :
Hart
Zabaleta Kompany Mangala Clichy
Toure Fernandinho
De Bruyne Silva Sterling
Aguero.

If that's the case, how does that address last season's problem of being overrun in midfield? I'm sure that side would batter most teams in the league but against the likes of Chelsea and arsenal (and the top European sides), Toure will have to be either more disciplined in his defensive duties or suddenly be able to run from box to box.
That side is just replacing Nasri /Navas /Milner with Sterling and De Bruyne.
Scoring goals wasn't the problem. Being light in the middle and defensive organisation was.

If we sign Pogba and Sandro then they will start and the the team looks a lot more energetic and solid

£45,000,000 isnt that a £15,000,000 loss, plus his wages and any signing on fee

Yes, plus 10% agent fee. But who cares? Time for a bid, Txiki

It worked at Barca?
It did until Busquets was put there. That's how we got Toure in the first place. He saw his arse and wanted to leave.

you don't make an offer only to have it rejected m8, txiki is in london this weekend, be patient..

Anyway, I'm still of the opinion that De Bruyne (if indeed we ever were interested in signing him) would have been a backup plan incase we didn't get Sterling.

I thought that as well when we were linked to both, if we didn't get one we got the other

I'm confused by this thread, and the Pogba one. Lots and lots of posts, but little from City in the way of bids.........well, confirmed bids that is. Anyway, a gif.......and this one has fuck all to do with the thread!

Don't believe snide sports news mate.
They love being negative towards us.
There's no rush.
We got until the end of august to get things over the line.
Patience is the key.
