De Bruyne?

Gone off this lad since I found out he was a cow killer.

Here's my best guess at what the current situation is concerning KDB:


1 - We're waiting for Dzeko to be sold, so that we have an extra foreign spot to put him into.

2 - There IS a disagreement with Wolfsburg at the moment, namely down to the fact that they are insisting on being paid in GBP rather than EUR.

3 - This is why the story came out the other day regarding 'I will go if someone offers £50m' (fed by Wolfsburg) and was countered with a story concerning interest for Isco (fed by City). Posturing on behalf of both clubs.

4 - The deal will get done at a price between £45-£50m (as per the most recent story in the mail, either fed by Wolfsburg to indicate flexibility, or by City to indicate what we're prepared to spend on him).

N.b. This is all guesswork as indicated in the first sentence.

So what would be your line-up?

There is no single line-up. We will put out different squads for different games.

I wonder why this hasn't been done yet.

Ric's info a couple of weeks back seemed to suggest it would be done relatively soon. Add to that the noises both Wolfsburg and KDB have made - they will sell if it's a good price and he wants to go. He has intimated he would go, from what he has said.

Issue of foreign space has gone with Jovetic going.

Convinced it will get done, but a bit strange it isn't complete yet, I think.

City getting the price down and removing the tag of football's biggest mugs. I dont know why people can't see this.

I reckon as soon as the Dzeko deal goes through a bid will go in. Roma probably known all along what we wanted to do and have held this deal up

With 3 forwards, can you play Silva and Toure - more or less automatic starters for the last 4 seasons?

Direct quote from KDB : Kevin De Bruyne has added fuel to transfer speculation linking him with a move to Manchester City after admitting 'I am not the one telling the people I am definitely going to stay'.

Don't think the issue of foreign space has gone until Dzeko goes as well.

If we fail to get KDB we should go for Gotze, he's come out saying he's had a troublesome two years at Munich, he'd be another great addition to the team. Rumours also juve are interested in him and if they was to sign him perhaps they'd fund the signing by the sale of Pogba?

I think he sounds as bored of this saga as a lot on here are.

In other words the clubs telling the media that he's going to stay but he personally wants out?

His agent....
