Given injury to Delph and high line of planned football we need Charles Aranguiz (?) too i reckon. We neeo a motorng type of player in front of the back four. Fernando sadly wont be sufficient.

No Chilian not name Sanchez or Vidal. They all play bettr for their country. They are half the player for club.

Txiki's the best in the business and he's currently hitting all this summers targets

We're very lucky to have him, which makes that thread in the main forum even more bizarre

I know others do not share that view but my instinct is that this is right - or at that he is at least one of the best.

Lots of posters make comments that just seems to reflect naivety and impatience and a lack of understanding of how these transfer at the top echelon likely work out.

Now I cannot claim to known any ins and outs of the transfer dealings but I can understand how it must be much more complex than lets say buying Kevin Nolan or some at the level that could go to Spurs, or Liverpool etc - that just takes a cheque book.

For the level of players such as Pogba and KDB then I think that there is a different process I guess as they will be wrapped up by an agent that will have been 'plotting' how to maximise/exploit opportunities. It probably means that to get your target you need first and foremost convince the agent to negotiate - then the player and then the club - this is what happened with Sterling I think?

The reason that I have confidence in Txiki is that his past history is likely to mean that he has so many contacts and readily chat/wine/dine etc with the people that matter. Compare that to the accountant at the swamp - he has no 'football credentials' at all - so he is limited to the chequebook.
 
David James was actually pro-City on getting De Bruyne, he said he thinks he would add defensive strength as well as attacking and is worth the money.

Whereas Keowen said he's not worth the money and Schurrle is better ... LOL.
 
Arsenal fans are booing him when he gets on the ball atm. What's that about? Please don't tell me it's simply because he is linked with us!

Maybe, maybe not mate. The Delph and Roberts deals wouldn't have taken much getting over the line, and we all know how long Sterling took to arrive, dragged on for weeks. If he can get De Bruyne here fair enough, a great window, if not question marks again next to his name.

I truly despair of some of our fans.

Wolfsburg don't want to and don't need to sell, they are financially very secure with VW owning them.

The only way we would get De Bruyne is if he forces the move and wants City, otherwise Wolfsburg will end up keeping him.
