De Bruyne?

[flb]

He would be the most likely one out if DeBruyne signs imo.

Tend to agree, shame in some ways but his final ball and goals scored are just not good enough.

You can see Nasri spitting his dummy out if KDB joins, not to mention Sterling

 

[Neville Kneville]

Or are you confusing a transfer thread with the multiple "squad next season" threads?

Anyway, £60 million seems an awful lot of money, but I suppose if he comes here and replicates the same form for a number of years he will be worth it.

If nobody said anything else, the thread would have two posts in it.

One which says we are after DeBruyne, one which says we have/haven't signed him.

It can't be £60m. It's €60m, or even better, $60m.

 

[Worst Case Ontario]

There is no way we are paying £60m, no fucking way

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

There is no way I ever say anything positive about City, no fucking way

Correct

 

[Neville Kneville]

Euros.

 

[vuadabanh000]

i hear the source that we will buy him with the price up to 45 million quids

 

[Silva_Spell]

Would prefer Isco anyway, evenmoreso at the prices being thrown around for De Bruyne

 

[Dax777]

You're presuming Silva will flank Aguero, this may not necessarily be the case. Silva could play at the head of the midfield trio with KDB and Sterling either side of Aguero

Not at all. The way I see it, there will be 5 mids behind on striker. With Yaya Silva and Sterling set as 3, you can add Pogba and Debruyne as the other 2, and that's great.But then You'd have no natural fighting mid in Delph or Dihno.

I really believe that is how we'll probably line up if we get both. Pogba will have to up his effort defensively as there will be no Marchisio or Vidal to cover his soft play. His got Yaya instead. And frankly that's like having Pirlo.

Euros.

Which would be approx. £42m

Which was the price Juve were quoted

Sounds about right

Tbf, Nasri is asking for more Signings & welcoming the competition.

problem is one plays for a team willing to sell in Germany and the other plays for Real damn Madrid and don't need or want to sell. We missed our chance with Isco until the next regime comes in at Real and wants to change everything.

 

[Stephenhakin]

My sentiments exactly.

So pick the team to suit the strengths & weaknesses of the opposition, & have the players on the bench to change it when needed.

 

[2sheikhs]

Just think of Pogba and this fella as the last hotdog in the tin. The first one is the sausage itself, the second one is just de Bruyne.


Coat please.

 

[adaminho]

4-2-3-1

Aguero

De Bruyne - Silva - Sterling

Any 2 from Delph/Fernandinho/Fernando/Yaya/Pogba

The usual back 4.

Front 4 all mix around as usual with Pellegrini, no one limited to one position.

Think wit that one we could have the same problems as last season. a bit attack heavy.

 

[Silva_Spell]

You really believe De Bruyne is so much better than Isco?

 

[Proy]

Yes.

Well said that man.
