De Bruyne?

I'd be ok with Delph, Fernandinho, Yaya, Fernando and Zuculini as our central midfield options if we can't bring in Pogba. Fernando is injury free, and like Zuculini he's looking twice the player he was last season. If we can't get Pogba there's room for Zuculini in the squad and he looks more and more like a good player who got sent on a bad loan, than a bad player who deceived us all last summer on tour. 4-3-3 will rejuvenate Yaya as well, like we saw in the 6 game end of season winning streak where we played Lampard-Yaya-Fernandinho.

I'd like pogba, but our current midfield will not stop us from challenging for titles.



The problem with that is bonuses still count. If his base pay of £Y is fairly small, but he's accustomed to taking home £X every week because he usually fulfils our easy to reach bonuses, he's going to demand £X/week from Juve, not £Y


It's mainly based on performance and appearances! So we make it clear he ain't guaranteed first team place

I would imagine he would ask for more than they would pay. Unfortunately. Still, he is a serious player when he gets his shit together.

Agree about Zucculini btw, at least potentially. Had forgotten about him. There's another non hg place maybe used, & another potential cm.
 

I thought he just picked up a knock, and should be OK for West Brom. I meant he is supposed to be free of that groin injury he was carrying last year which made him awful after the Stoke game.
 
People talking about 1 out 1 in and when dzeko goes thats 2 out, I think its more to do with out wage structure and keeping it within ffp.. So 2 out and 1 in it will be I reckon..

It's a fair assumption, but I'd be surprised if we are that tight to the line re wages. A lot of effort has gone into sorting that. But it's a fair point as regards not wasting money. If we were paying DeBruyne, Pogba, Dzeko & Jovetic for two months, it's a lot of money.
 
Links coming from Spain again that we are looking at Isco as the alternative to KDB. Would love Isco here, great quality on the ball,grafts his bollocks off without the ball and would probably cost about 20mill less than KDB. Use the money saved to get Bernat from Bayern.
