De Bruyne?

[JJE1988]

Widely reported as £50m or €75m

I wish I got that exchange rate when I went to Portugal earlier in July! :)

 

[SuperSilva]

Widely reported as £50m or €75m

Closer to the c.£46M region... (bonuses/add-ons TBA)

I think you will find it is closer to the £47.1237652(repeating of course) million region

Am I the only who thinks that De Bruyne is not needed? Pogba and a LB should be the priority. De Bruyne is barely an improvement on Nasri and would just send Lopes, Roberts, Barker etc down the pecking order.

Silva, Sterling, Nasri, Lopes, Navas is perfect depth.

I think Pogba is the one that's not needed. We are getting him because he's a star rising which might be true but if we are spending a fortune to do it negates that reasoning a bit I think.

DeBruyne looks a better fit for what we need right now. He can replace Milner and more. the End.

We really should be improving the 3 or 4 shortcomings in our squad with the money saved, Sagna, Kolorov, Caballero and Fernando - all not good enough. I don't understand why we don't just thank them and get better in (or promote youth - they couldn't be worse).

Yes.

Yes.

Let's not forget Garcia!

Really? I can't see Lopes making at it with us unless he's just well down the pecking order. Barker didn't impress me in the semis or finals of the FA Youth Cup but he's just a kid. I've seen nowt of Roberts.
Navas is just frustrating and Nasri is the best of that bunch behind Silva and we need to improve on him, never mind the rest.

Then there's Silva, who is the attacking midfield God. But we need to give him more world class support. And Sterling's not that yet.
