De Bruyne?

Nasri has more than proven he isn't up to the task,we need better - certainly someone more consistent and direct,it would seem KDB offers just that....plus he's a man with a point to prove.
 
De Bruyne, Silva, Nasri. Two of those three starting every game, counting for rest and injuries is a brilliant trio of attacking midfielders. That coupled with the pace of sterling and kun bombingg forward ahead of them is going to be dangerous next year.

From what I've seen so far, the aim next year will be to play a front three with one dropping in deeper and the other two running in behind, we need players who can play the perfect ball. De bruyne fits this. I'd also address left back, right back (back up) and possibly another winger. Pedro fits the bill for the winger with the barca connection, availability and the fact he can play up top.
 
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).

Like a few others have mentioned. Is he really a priority for us right now?

He is a fantastic player and would improve us but if the rumoured fee is over £45m I just don't think for the margin of improvement its worth it when I feel we have more pressing areas to improve such as LB and CM.

Don't get me wrong, I would love him at the club but not if it means money isn't available to strength other positions.
 
Anyone who says KDB is not needed, you are entitled to your opinions, but you are completely and utterly wrong. Your minds will certainly be changed within a few months of him signing

Why is it either/or? Have we not been told by the well informed types that we have a budget (of around £150m net) for Sterling, Pogba and De Bruyne? So if Pogba falls through, no one is going to cost that much and I see no reason we couldn't then split the remaining budget between, say, a £40m central midfielder and £25m left-back. I'd agree De Bruyne (one of my fav players, so I really want him here!) isn't an absolute priority but he should be a signing in addition to other areas we need. If De Bruyne signs, I also think we should sell either Navas or Nasri, probably Navas the best bet, and that would raise more money on top of Dzeko, Jovetic and the others we've already sold.

I think Navas has played way too much pre-season to be leaving, and I think he'll start at WBA, judging by the fact that team today got 65 minutes together, I think that was to give them some time to gel.
