De Bruyne?

Whilst Silva and Sterling are starting to link up nicely, and will be complimented further by Sergio, I see Bony as being the greatest benefactor of KdB's arrival. A couple of the balls he whipped in against Arsenal yesterday were vicious
 
in a sick and sadistic sort of way i want to see wolfsburg reject our first bid just to see the reaction here
 
City launch £40m De Bruyne bid

Manchester City have sent an opening offer of £40 million to Wolfsburg for midfielder Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgian has been earmarked as a key target for Manuel Pellegrini this summer.

If thats true, I doubt we will get him for £40m. Lets hope we dont get into a protracted negotiation with incremental increased bids. We could do with him sooner rather than later.
 
According to a couple of people at work he's been piss poor pre-season. No pace, no defending, nothing to indicate he's a big improvement. This has come from from Blues and rags.
So is it just the usual looking rusty after the summer or do we seem to be looking at a player that won't cope with the higher pace and physical demands of the Prem.
Genuine question; I don't watch much foreign football and haven't seen the friendlies where he's alleged to have been so poor.
The Bundesliga is a league full of pace, counter attacks and physical demands. It's pretty much a league full of lower mid-bottom table PL teams that are looking to scrap for a point or looking to nick all 3 when they are playing against anyone but Bayern. He will be more than prepared to play in the PL(again if you want to call it). He made a few clever runs against Arsenal, picked out some great passes and showed he could help us with corners, he did look a little rusty shooting though.
