De Bruyne?

See Dzeko news: Could slow it down. I'm not sure if that has any impact at all but the two deals are linked I timing at any rate. Depends on where we are up to with the squad rules

Marvin, I'm sure I read on here that 25 squad doesnt need to be registered until Sept 3rd so I dont think Dzeko deal will hold up any deal for De Bruyne....atleast I hope not!;)
 
Why does it matter wherever Mourinho wanted him a year ago? It's been shown on a few occasions that he doesn know how to deal with players who are as attacking and direct as the likes of KDB. The fact Mourinho would prefer a team of hardworking clones who give up their right to express themselves on the pitch is his problem. I imagine there'd be no place for the likes of Silva in a Mourinho team.
Being the very best player in the bundesliga is a bit different from some far flung league who nobody pays attention to.
It's not you being cynical, I'd say it's more you haven't watched enough of him and don't see how much he can bring to our team.
We'll pay what's needed to get one of the best young players in the world.
Hope your right and at least he has a bit of premiership experience assuming he does decide to join us.
 
Fair comment, I've not seen him play since he left Chelsea but he was the player of the year last season. Players improve at different rates, due diligence will have been done. Hopefully he'll prove Jose wrong!

Pogba seems to have developed rather nicely since the reds gave him away...
 
Where is he going to be played? It seems to be the general consensus that we will go into the season playing 433.
No way have we spent c.£85m on KDB and Sterling for them to rotate- so, our front 3 will be sterling,silva, aguero in most games I think. Which means, KDB will be in a midfield position, alongside yaya and dinho/delph.

Does this solve our midfield issues. Going forward we will be the best team in the league, but does that formation and personnel solve the midfield issue if teams overload their midfield with energy.

I'd imagine 4231 makes us a bit more solid. With KDB, silva and sterling as a 3 behind aguero.
At the start of the window there was the feeling that yaya will play a smaller role in the season than usual - has this changed?

Shouldn't matter at all how much we paid for a player. We pick the best team to win each game. If that means leaving out DeBruyne or Sterling or even Silva in order to balance the team vs certain opposition, then that's what we should do. We will have the option of actually bringing soneone off the bench, who changes the way the team plays.

If we can fit those three plus Aguero & Yaya in the team & batter people, then of course we do it, but if it's too loose, we rotate them.
