Just watched his interview on the OS and he comes across really well....I wish him the very best of luck.

Was about to post the same sentiments.
He comes across as a well spoken laid back lad.

I urge everyone to be patient with him however as I just don't feel he will be an instant success.
Hey if he is then great and I'll eat my words but I just feel he's more of a long term signing... He'll play the Navas role in our current system short term (good) but long term if he builds his upper body strength he may end up playing a more central playmaker role.

Exciting times. feel so privileged being able to watch such a good City side.

Hey guys, first post. My knowledge and understanding of football isn't great but it is improving. So if I say something stupid please don't lynch me. I like positive, attacking football, not to mention goals, so naturally I was drawn to Man City.

What are your opinions on playing him instead of Yaya? He's a lot more mobile, faster etc. Him in there with Aguero, Silva, Sterling and Navas would be electric.

Welcome to the forum fella.

Stick around, keep reading, I'm sure you will further your knowledge, and establish your own opinions which may be just as valid as long time posters.

In De Bruyne's interview he basically said he would have preferred the squad number 14.

Since we've been courting him for so long I'm surprised noone had a quiet word to Bony and offered him the #9 shirt. Bony doesn't seem to have a particular attachment to #14 (he has been #10 for Swansea and #12 for the National Team in the past) and #9 has a special significance for strikers so I would have thought he'd be happy to have that honour. I wonder if we'll see a switch in 2016-17.

I wonder if there are any ITK's regarding this? Was Bony ever offered #10 to free up #14? Was he offered and rejected the change?

OK as I really don't have the time to trawl back through millions of posts (OK 3,000 plus..) on the De Bruyne thread in Transfers, can someone post the run and long range strike from midfield that he did which I cannot find on YouTube for the life of me..? I don't know who it was against and I can find every other fecking goal he scored but not that one...it was all over that thread in the Transfer forum however.

It's for my son before he goes back to college; help and old man out wontcha...?? ;) Thanks muchly in advance.

Can definitely see him moving into Yaya's role later in his career.

I thought this also, fools never differ aye?
