I think he'll do good at City. But he wouldn't have done good at us, though. It was just not meant to be.

i dont, i think he makes City much easier to play against, they have great balance with Sterling - Silva - Navas, now if they drop Navas for De bruyne they lose the natural width navas gives them to stretch teams, De bruyne will most likely come inside a lot and try to link up with Silva, so the opposition LB can tuck in more and make it harder for City to play through teams. They also lose Navas' pace on the counter.

This is a big mistake for City imo, De bruyne will not improve them.

"okay" season? he was the best player in the league last season with other 20 assists.

Yeah whatever, because he was the best player there doesn't mean he'll be anything extraordinary here. People and especially football fans are overrating him massively, he's worth 80million just because his name is De Bruyne and City are after him. He's too mainstream now. I wouldn't even be excited if we got him honestly.

All the bitter people wishing him bad luck at City lol, blame Mourinho for forcing every attacker to track back. He didn't want out of the club for some unreasonable reason, it just wasn't meant to be no need to get bitter.

Are you seriously suggesting its unreasonable to ask a player to work off the ball?

Nah, but it's unreasonable to demand attacking players press like their lives depend on it and then carry defenders who are unable and/or unwilling to press high up and support those same attackers.

Fair enough, I was more thinking to the standard defensive work, I mean Azpi gets a lot of stick for not being brilliant going forward despite being as good as there is for pure defending yet if the wingers are questioned about their tracking back people scoff and are like why should they need to their attackers.

Sometime if they are good enough yeah. Messi and Neymar do hardly any tracking back at all. While KDB might not be that good yet binning him off after a few games purely because he refused to follow your defensive instruction completely is unacceptable.

Never been impressed by him, not too worried. He's had one okay Bundesliga season and now he's suddenly like one of the best AMs ever ermahgerd.

To be fair, he had excellent season with Wolfsburg and very good one previously with Werder.

I agree he would never succeed under Mou, but he still will be cracking player and if he does brilliantly for city, it will leave sour taste.

really hope they get him as De Bruyne will only make City more predictable and easier to play against.

City dropping Navas for De Bruyne could be what wins us the league...

That might be hybris....

I think this will come bite us in the ass in the long run (i expect him to struggle a bit at first considering his psychological profile - but when he gets confident. Ahum, he will be dangerous and City all the more).
