Kevin de Bruyne

to that list add Sinclair ,,Cork ..possibly Bertrand , Kakuta and Sturridge.

Kakuta - gotta be a no for me, Sturridge?

[chrismada9 1,948]

van Aanholt? Bruma?

Although I have to state the obvious, Bertrand has a lot of experience behind him, Ashley Cole might find it tough to keep his place in the team, while Sturridge would be coming back to us following a hugely impressive spell at Bolton, so there is hope for those two.

I worry immensely about Kakuta though

[zolayes 14,489]

a side with all those would have won the Championship this year.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

We can only speculate to our best until the manager is finally revealed and can work his magic. We all are assuming 'if', when we haven't even gotten to that stage to assess the squad with a new set of eyes. I am getting more ferious at the club by every passing day that we haven't got a manager. Every fucking day is a waste of time where we could be sealing transfers deals to strengthen the squad and sign potential world class youngsters, but instead we are loosing numbers with more on the horizon. Time for Roman to get off his arse and pull his fucking finger! It was the board's and his decision to releave Carlo, and it is time for his replacement.

And if the rumours of Hiddink being the main target and him going on holiday, and not even joining till September is true - our season would be fucked right over before he could do anything! We need to sell and replace, and yet we are left in the darkness with no knowledge at all.

To add to that list, just ask Nemanja Matic. Went on loan, never to come back.

Would you rather us have Matic warming the bench and for David Luiz to still be in Benfica?

Would have David on the pitch, Matic on the bench and Rajkovic in Benfica.

I would also have Mata and Sanchez on the pitch and Malouda and Anelka on the bench

Belgian media are suggesting Chelsea are planning an offer of €10M for De Bruyne, after a €6M offer been rejected earlier.

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

is this kid that good

[LondonPride1905 236]

^It's us, if he costs 10m, we will get him for 15, don't worry.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

This lad impresses me... is he worth €10 million? Yes!

[Hamilton 2,118]

I think the previous offer of €6M is a realistic value for him, but he doesn't have to leave Genk, so they will try to get the maximum out of it like a lot of teams try these days.. €10M should be no problem i guess.

I know youtube scouting is as silly as it gets but having watched this video I really like the look of this lad.

He looks very good, albeit in a weak league, but there is potential there no doubt.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Wtf....how did we go from getting him for 3.5m one day, to already offering 10m

He better be as good, as his youtube videos show

[lionsden 4,689]

What's the point of buying him (a 19 year old) given our history with young talents, I'm willing to take a punt on him to suffer the same fate as mancienne, tore, Sinclair et al. RA should just buy Seedorf and Pirlo instead and not waste this talented kids time and also save the fans from yet another disappointment.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

To be brutally honest he will just go down the same route as di Santo, knowing our club. Limitless potential curtailed by reserve football.
