People are quoting some German journo on SSN.

I see the infestation has arrived again
Must be typing through their salty bitter tears of loss of Pedro

It takes a certain type of player that can waltz into the premier league and take to it straight away. Aguero did it, so did Silva.
Is kdb an upgrade on Navas and Nasri? Of course he is.
Is he essential to us winning the title?
I don't think so.
Otamendi and Pogba would be far more important to us. They both address last season's deficiencies.

None of us can know what motivates other people's behaviour. But if I own something I want to keep and have a filthy rich buyer desperate to own it I'd string them along until they were right up against the deadline and then take them to the cleaners.

Sort of like what Everton did with The Belgian Bog Brush.

You’re talking about it as if it’s an object not a person with their own wishes/intentions.


You might have a cat someone is offering you an amount for. But you really like the cat and don’t want to sell so you string them along and up the price on a daily basis. Fine in principle but there’s nothing to stop the cat packing it’s kitty bags and leaving through the cat flap.

It's fair enough, it's a valid point but I say it's time for people to see the light for good. If you want those feelings of inferiority to go away forever, go to a match at Old Trafford. It's big but it's tired, it's stuck in the past, it's cobbled together and it's unwieldy. It's an analogy for that club. I don't care how many Lou Macaris will tell you that "United are rebuilding" and all that shite, based on little more than sentiment and arrogance. They aren't going to catch us up for a long long time. A generation or more.

They are a badly run club with absentee owners who prefer baseball and with clowns like Woodward at the helm and an aging Dutch lunatic in charge of the current playing staff. Long may it continue..

Although I agree with your assessment of last seasons deficiencies, Pogba does not solve defensive issues in CM. Additionally, you fail to grasp what city is trying to create. Cite Barca front 3 - Neymar, Suarez, Messi. City is essentially trying to duplicate that with 6-7 years of Sterling, Aguero, KDB. Navas is not good enough for Champions League. Sure, he is good enough to help us win the Prem, but he lacks the cutting edge and decisiveness of KDB. It may not pan out the way we would all like it to with Sterling, Aguero, and KDB, but the city hierarchy clearly believes in this. And I personally trust them in arranging a top drawer squad.

IF, and it's a big if, these reports that wolfsburg keep upping the price, then it's time to leave it. They clearly don't want or need to sell him. I can understand the need to get Pogba because he's a ready made replacement for Toure. We don't NEED kdb. We already have creativity, pace and have no problem scoring goals. It never was the problem.

Yeah, and Barca probably didnt NEED Suarez, Madrid didnt NEED Bale/James/Kovacic...etc. Its not really about what we need anymore. Its about becoming world class at nearly every position on the field. Navas is not world class, he is a good little player that is very one-dimensional. KDB may or may not be yet, but he is certainly on that trajectory. Just blows my mind. Seeing what having one talented, direct player (Sterling) has done for our team in 2 games without even scoring a goal or registering an assist - just imagine what it will do when we add another on the other side.
