Kevin de Bruyne

City don't even need another player. They need to sell before they even think about buying again!!

That hasn't stopped them before. Mancini says he still wants a winger and a midfielder. As far as your second comment, are they at they're limit for foreign players or something? If you would be so kind as to elaborate.

Well Mancini did they they needed another winger.

If they have Silva, Milner, and Adam Johnson then how do they need another winger

They don't even have room for SWP and there's talk of him leaving!! :mellow:

I hear ya CJ. Never quite understood what Citeh is playing at with their hoarding of players, many of them mediocre. I guess they figure if they cast a big and expensive enough net, one of their haul will be the catch of the day.

Milner is poor on the wing, too slow... He is the archetype of the stand-in, average almost everywhere but really good nowhere. Even if he is not that bad in CM...

Johnson has a poor stamina so he cannot be regarded as part of the XI but only as a supersub.

I would be really disgusted if De Bruyne signs for Citeh, even more that we were tracking him before them. His versatility, his quality in the game (diagonal balls, through passes) and the fact he would not be overpriced as other players makes him the better option we could take

[Guest justin_3d]

Chelsea don't want him. If we wanted him we would have bought him a long time, like we just did with Courteois and Romeu.

Because Silva isn't a winger, Milner on the wings isn't of top 4 level and SWP is at most a squad player.. If anything, they need wingers more then we do (Balotelli has been playing on the sides for example).

Many people keep saying City have a huge squad and they do but their squad is (a bit) unbalanced.

Kevin De Bruyne has gone to hospital for initial X-rays, looks like he has broken his fibula. #krcgenk

Also read he said he heard a snap. Never like to hear of a player injured. In this case Chelsea's slow approach worked out for Chelsea at least in the short term.

But one could argue that if we worked quickly, he wouldn't have had to play in today's match

That's true. With Chelsea's luck they were getting ready to send the bid over just as he got injured.

What's with all the broken legs this pre-season? Two Bolton players, now De Bruyne.

[lionsden 4,689]

This is bad news. . . gutted. It sounds like a serious injury which could sideline him for minimum of 6 months

[manpe 10,861]

This kind of injury can seriously hinder a young player's development, too bad...

Such a shame...and even bigger shame it happened after the match with Partizan

I never like to see a player get injured...

[Sheva. 5,373]

Damn. Hope he recovers quickly.

[Spike 12,049]

That is a real crying shame. Chances are if he signed for us those Rangers last night would have broken his leg too.
