De Bruyne?

fuck me this place is depressing

 

[SWP's back]

Agreed mate, Delph is a middle of the table signing. Totally desperate for homegrown players and he was an easy cheap option.

Judge him at Christmas. You'll be happily surprised.

But we are.

Bony and Nacho are better than Dzeko and Jovetic who offered nothing last season.

Lampard was poor save for one goal against Chelsea and half a dozen games off the bench early doors. Delph will get far more game time, and has the legs that we were missing in midfield.

And Sterling is a huge upgrade on Milner.

All of that ignores Lopes, Garcia and Roberts.

If you can't follow the logic above then I can't really spell it out any simpler for you.

(And I still think we will add at least two more players before September 1st anyway)

This, excluding the Lampard part.

So depressing it's almost amusing. :)

the lads an England international ,he showed when we played villa at home he can run a game, and that's surrounded by far less superior players(sorry if that sounds arrogant)he will thrive at city(I hope)

Totally agree. Just Sterling alone improves our starting eleven considerably and him, Silva, Kun together is truely mouthwatering.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

No it isn't, people on here are lauding Delph making out as If he's a great buy, the fact that no other top four club wanted him shows me he isn't that great. He brings energy, so does Fernandinho and Milner (as well as more quality). De Bruyne, whilst could be argued we don't need as much as an anchorman, is a huge upgrade on Navas and Nasri.

Like Sterling you mean ??

Lampard was very good against Roma, Bayern and Leicester as well.

Delph is still the Captain of his club, or was, and he's an international player. A good addition to the squad. No one is saying that he Will transform City's midfield. But his addition covers the departures, and the addition of Sterling adds something extra.....and remember that we won't be spending months bedding in Mangala,Fernando and Bony.

We are already stronger.....on paper......and we are still in for players. I am assuming that Kompany is going to be OK. That and Toure declining still further are the areas of concern.
