I know he struggled in Spain, but going out on loan isn't easy.
Also look at Delph. His start to his Villa career was very poor, then he came good
That's true.
I just have my reservations about Zucullini's potential. He's similar to Evans IMO as someone who looks top class in small bursts but you just know will never make the grade at this level.
I'd much rather see Manu Garcia chucked in at the deep end. I know he's a kid and still needs a lot more physical development but the lad has got the ability.
His style is so easy on the eye and he's confident under pressure which is a huge plus in today's game. However, I don't get the comparisons to Silva. He's more like Xavi IMO and could easily be the played to keep our midfield ticking.
Justify by comparing the players in to those who have been sold.Agree, we're not stronger than last year, and our squad doesn't look ready to challenge for the title.
Jovetic and Dzeko are potentially very good players, but they weren't playing or contributing last season. Lampard was struggling to get to the pace of the game. The only player we will miss is Milner.
We still have Bony to come in. His pre-season has been disrupted but he's unplayable when fit. A massive upgrade on Dzeko who wasn't bothered.
Sterling means teams can't sit on the edge of the box because he's liable to get in that box, and once he does it mean goals.
Delph had a massive impact on Villa last season and has been their POTY for 2 seasons running and was largely responsible for their trip to Wembley.

Nudge, nudge, wink-wink, say no more!Sounds like he's even doing the negotiating for us now!;)

Sorry Marv, but I can't get my head around Delph, he wouldn't have been good enough for us four years ago, he's got so little on the ball quality. Towards the end of the season, Lampard played behind Aguero and was excellent, he became another runner who caused space. Milner too. Don't forget Lampard won us a lot of points last year.
Why don't you just wait and see what evolves. Could be a lot of negotiating going on that you are not aware of. Everything the payer says is very positive yet you are all takinga very pessimistic view. Should be encouraged by the player and Wolfsburg's comments.Madness that we've not slapped the money down.
I actuallyam not that bothered about De Bruyne, a I think our attacking proposition is already very strong. I'd prefer to look at the midfield where Toure is suspect going off last season.....but maybe City feel that is temporary or feel Delph can cover if Toure does not improve on last season
One of the transfer experts will be on to tell you.It's clear KDB wants the move, and it seems he's telling city what they need to do. I can work out why we haven't bid yet, it's getting ridiculous now.
Pick one of the following:
- We don't want to leave our arses hanging out
- Complex deals take time
- We need to make room for a foreign spot before getting him in
- There is no hold up
Pretty much the standard response to a question like yours.
Players progress. he has. Lampard was poor there should be no argument on that. He rescued a point v Chelsea and early on had some good games off the bench, but overall he was well gone.Sorry Marv, but I can't get my head around Delph, he wouldn't have been good enough for us four years ago, he's got so little on the ball quality.

Maybe we have but we have an agreement with wolfsburg that we don't go public with the bid.Madness that we've not slapped the money down.
Unlike the mickeys with sterling who squealed about us at every opportunity.
I think we've got the ball to roll with de bruyne.

Have you seen the size of lopes up top after 1 season out on loan! I'd send garcia out and hope he could come back the same lopes is now ready to go in the squad!
