Koke?

[SuperBlu]

Chelsea to make £22m bid for Koke?

£22m??? Good luck with that!

Its in the Mirror.

Anyway, I hope he will end up here at City.

I see him more reliable than Henderson.

Even Henderson himself would agree with that.

Please get him City, he'd be a star for us. Industry but wonderful technical ability.

We could've done with him today, I'm sure Fenny would relish partnering him or Pogba rather than Toure.

Yep he's not only an excellent chance creator but tracks back to help defend throughout the game. Though those stats are just for CL, anyone who's watched him play knows he's not a goalscorer but his workrate is better than all the rest on that chart.

 

[Silva_Spell]

We should be spending most of our money on partnering Koke and Pogba

In those 2 and Silva we'd have a central midfield to more than match anyone

There's a bigger selection of quality AMs out there than CMs. I'd rather miss out on the likes of Sterling and De Bruyne

Chelsea sent sporting director Michael Emenalo to watch Koke in action for Atletico Madrid against Malaga last weekend. Jose Mourinho is keen to sign the midfielder, who has a release clause of €60m

There's not many players in European football who can combine ability and workrate as well as Koke does.

Koke's release clause is £48 million.

Spot on!

I think there's a lot of quality out there in the attacking midfield role and in Fernandinho and Silva we have energy and guile - Koke could be the perfect foil with his work rate and creativity from deep. He's also very good at set pieces and he'd be an apt replacement for Yaya, whose goals we could replace from wider areas by adding players like Bale/De Bruyne etc.

I think Koke would be a better fit than Pogba if you could only have one. Pogba can go on to be as good as Yaya and in an ideal world you sign the two of them. If it's just one though I think Koke would make the bigger impact for us. He is quality.
