do Chelsea have a sell-on clause? Would this deter us?

Incredible cross for Wolfsburg tonight in the Europa

No clause has been mentioned and with all the hype around him im sure Chelsea would have thought about triggering it since he isn't even cup tied.

If De Bruyne has learnt anything he should stay at Wolfsburg at least for another 2 years. I hear the Belgium manager has told him the same thing. No reason to rush things. He will be playing CL football next season and possibly for challenging for the league. No need to rush things.

If he can escape the infamous sophmore slump he will be top class

Yaya is a one-off, a freak of nature.

The sooner Blues reconcile that we have been very fortunate, and won't be able to bully the midfield like we have done in recent times, the easier it will be to accept how we must evolve.

Madrid rely on Modric and Kroos, wonderful players, but fast and physical, they ain't.

People might think I have lost the plot, but we should be bringing in Alex Song as an additional enforcer.

Txiki wants his arse kicking that his Barca contacts weren't alive to this one.

Could have saved us £12m on Fernando and had a proper look at Song.

I agree yayas a one off in power terms, however, like others, it's his ability to dictate play that is ignored... This isn't down to physcal attributes, it's his ability to orchestrate from the back which we will miss most. As suggested there are players who can replicate this, what can't be touched is his winning mentality, that more than anything needs replacing, should he go!!!

While I agree to an extent, I genuinely do think we would be a better 'team' without Yaya. Take away set pieces and most goals are scored within 4 passes of winning possession back. Our problem is that we don't win possession back quickly enough in midfield, especially against the top European sides, partly because Yaya is lazy and/or too unfit to play that style consistently. That not only limits the goals we score but also means your defenders are left isolated way too often, resulting in Kompany, Zabaleta etc. looking like fucking idiots lunging in, usually because they have no choice if there's no midfield to protect them.

The biggest myth amongst City fans,Yaya is lazy !

@City_Watch: Daily Star: City are closing in on a deal for Wolfsburg star Kevin De Bruyne (23) but Wolfsburg's £40m valuation is a stumbling block.

I don't see Wolfsburg budging unless De Bruyne forces a move

'Stumbling block', lol.

Sunday People: City are set to offer £27m for De Bruyne who Pellegrini believes would bring extra creativity to City's midfield.

Seems to be gathering pace this one. Don't know much about him to be honest, is he any good? Fast? Skillful?
