Kevin De Bruyne

Ffs City are probably going to win the league this year then.


----------------- Aguero
Silva----------De Bruyne--------Sterling

Thats by far the best 4 in the league by a country mile.

It's quite a good front line but it's their midfield that's lacking and even their defence is quite bad unless Kompany starts to play good. And I don't think Pellegrini can make the most of that team - he feels a bit too limited for PL and CL.

But if Hart is good he can keep them in the title race.

On paper that looks like the best attack in the league since Rooney,Ronaldo and Tevez and players like that gel a lot quicker than traditional wingers and strikers..

Scoring is Sterling and Silva's biggest weakness though the latter has slightly improved. And De Bruyne is nothing special in that regard either so a massive onus is placed on Aguero to score the goals. It looks good on paper but I'm not fully sure.

De Bruyne is a good player but a fee of close to £50m is majorly overpaying IMO.

56M+10 in bonus is not even close to what he is worth. People still seem to believe the Bundesliga is some kind of minor Easter European league.

I'm fairly sure that Wolfsburg will not bite with that kind of low bid.

A little funny btw, WoB's coach, Hecking said today: "With all due respect to City, for me it would be something different if Real, Bayern or Barca would come knocking, then of course I would understand."


That's exactly it. De Bruyne himself said that he would prefer a move to Bayern at some point in the future.

66 million, low bid

too low

In today's market? The officially best player of the Bundesliga who is easily better than Gareth Bale for example? Sure it is. Also it's 56+10 with the 10 not guaranteed. Also we are talking about Shitty. PSG and Shitty should always have to pay at least 10% more than the rest to be taken seriously, if you are asking me.
Also he is Wolfsburg MVP by a huge margin. If Shitty seriously believe they can convince WoB to sell said MVP one week before the official Bundesliga kick-off, despite Allofs having stated numerous times that they won't sell KdB this season, they must be crazy. 56+10 is really not that huge a bid at all given the circumstances.

According to AS, Dieter Hecking said that we, along with Real Madrid, Bayern and City, are interested in De Bruyne. I think it is BS, he is obviously a great player, but where would he play?

Hecking said that he'd understand De Bruyne, if Barcelona, Madrid or Bayern were interested in signing him. Nothing about actual interest from our side.

Huh? How does he know that we are interested in him if we haven't said anything?

Me thinks Hecking is just using us and Real Madrid to jack up the price for City.

The quote: "Bei aller Wertschätzung für Manchester City: Es wäre etwas anderes für mich, wenn Real Madrid, Bayern München oder Barcelona kommen würden, dann würde ich auch alles verstehen"

He's talking hypothetically.



Currently, the only interest shown is from City.

I see, so it is just his speculation?

Bayern too, I believe. You can never underestimate them, they sign players covertly without anybody knowing.

Basically. He is saying IF Real,Barca,Bayern come knocking he'd understand De Bruyne wanting to leave.

True

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

The interest from Bayern is well-known. Not much to speculate there.

Luft, you don't seem to read my postings anymore? I already provided the proper translation of what Hecking said before AS completely mistranslated and printed them.

I do, Ryu, quite religiously. Just missed the one at the top of the page.
