De Bruyne?

[Stoned Rose]

He was considered bang average by most City fans. Then when he comes to us, he's got huge potential. Then he changes his mind and returns to bang average / bottler, and now he's got huge potential again.
It's the same with most clubs fans. I think he's another water carrier who is a decent squad player for 8m, and his HG status counts heavily in his favour. He's not Pirlo though.

I championed him last season and was amongst the minority on here who thought he was a great little addition especially given the small fee we paid.

I think he'll surprise pure heads this season.

This transfer isn't like the sterling one where we had very little dialogue with liverpool, and the leaked and then officially rejected each offer. It seems we and Wolfsburg are in regular contact and a fee will be agreed quietly.

Think of the Delph transfer. The first news that broke was that it was done and dusted, he was heading for the medical when the news broke (which he didn't turn up for).

I think KDB will be the same. Wolfsburg announcing they've accepted an offer will be the first news. Or maybe KDB getting on a plane.

We won't go through the Public dance of bid, rejection, bid, rejection etc.

Ah sorry, I was actually just taking the piss out of the buzz words that the media use when coming up with the stories. Not havinga flap per se.

Ta though, hopefully with Wolfsburg being classier than Liverpool it will be resolved more smoothly.

Hope you're right.
People said the same of Milner when he was with us - he was slagged off by England fans for being average and not really up to much, but those who saw him week in week out (us) knew he was decent. Ironically, now he's gone to Liverpool, the pundits are hailing him as fantastic (funny that).
He doesn't have to be world class for us, as long as he's decent, at 8m that's good value. If he ups his game by being with better players that'll be a great bonus imo.

Karen: Please start a seperate thread for all this argueing

completely agree...except for the 'e' in arguing

That's not something I'm at liberty to discuss :)

Hope you've pinched your tent at Wilmslow Hospital mate! Slacker :)

 

[citizens_1976]

No, I don't.

Are you seriously just fucking stupid???

So why bash other people for wanting to sign better players and improve on some of the mediocre players we have in the squad?

Wind your neck in pal.

Almost any club would be classier! but I agree, I think / hope it'll be a fair more elegant dance with Wolfsburg.

Agree re Milner and definitely about the Liverpool sketch you mention.

What I like about Delph is:

1. He presses well
2. He mithers fuck out of the opposition
3. He wins the ball well
4. He grafts his tits off, has a great engine, and is often found helping out in his own penalty box
5. He's a 'forward looking' player and looks to start attacks once he's won the ball

He's everything Fernando / Rodwell / Garcia turned out to not be. I'm looking forward to seeing how he shapes in a City shirt.

I'm just sick and tired of people like YOU moaning all the fucking time.

Let us all know when you're contributing to the football discussion. You're the one moaning more than most and contributing nothing to the actual discussion.
If you're having trouble with other posters, exercise self control and ignore their posts, or put them on ignore.
Getting wound up by other people is a measure of your own control, not theirs. You are after all responsible for your own emotions right?
That's 3 or 4 posters that seem to wind you up now. There's a common denominator, you.

Its just a clear lack of intelligence for you on his part. They cannot debate, it just ends up leading to insults.

He needs to tone down the swearing, will be bursting blood vessels any minute.
