De Bruyne?

[yeah whatever !!]

Agreed on that mate, we're certainties for the top four, but as for winning it I'm not sure.

I think we have a great shout for the title.

More than a 50/50 mate. All down to the fee now, which according to the mirror, we believe we've more or less agreed. I'd be staggered if he didn't join us.

I'd put it more like 80/20 in our favour @getthefuckin.com

Worried this isn't going to happen now.
I thought once Jovetic had gone De Bruyne would arrive ASAP.
Hope we aren't haggling for a few million quid off.
Best part of £50m spent on Sterling.
If Wolfsberg want £50m for De Bruyne then give it to them and get the lad in ASAP.

If it doesn't happen and we don't make any more signings the window will still have been decent.

Kelechi - Jovetic & Dzeko (important to get wages off the books and give the kid a crack at the first team)
Sterling - a definite upgrade on Milner and much better than Nasri on the left.
Delph - A big upgrade on Fernando ( I personally think he will get a lot more game time than people think)
Roberts - Fantastic talent & ready for a slice of first team action.
Denayer - Like a new £30m signing and currently our best CB (agreed thats not difficult at present)

If De Bruyne arrives we will be unplayable going forward and the window will have been very good.

Pogba would have made it an amazing window but looks like that ones dead.

I've moved to the Cheap as Chips stand this year.

Bring it on Blues!!!

You can't win anything with kids.

I think the books have it close to that, 2/7, getting nervous though.

Chances are tha the is the most likely new arrival in the coming days. The chances are probably no better than 50/50 but I remain hopeful.

Compared to Pogba who has said yesterday that he is looking forward to another season with Juventus in the #10 shirt, he is a lot more likely to join City.

If we are serious about winning the Premier League title then it is an imperative that he arrives at the Etihad in this transfer window. Currently I believe both Chelsea and Arsenal will finish ahead of us in the coming season based on existing squads. United possibly too.

That said, I'll keep my powder dry until the window "slams shut" on 1/9/15 when a clearer picture has materialized.

Where have arsenal improved so much to overtake us? There still 4 players behind us team wise and a couple more squad wise. I think we are great shape when pellers makes his mind up on the vinny dilemma! Especially with kdb to come in and that I'm certain on!

Don't get nervous - Just relax and when he rocks up at the Etihad (which he will) enjoy what he brings to the team.
There really is no rush to get this through. It's going to be a long season with many games played, as long as he's in before the end of the window we should be good to go.

I think you're under rating arsenal there. They haven't bought many, but they didn't need to. They have spent so many years getting a big squad to cope with all their injuries that now they have lots of depth.

They weren't that far away from being contenders last year, just the defence being a bit shaky and the usual injury problems.

Cech seems to have organised the defence and Coquelin seems to be the real deal, so I think they'll be right in the mix for most of the season. Probably gonna crack under the pressure in March, but I think this will be their best season in 5 years.
