Sell Kev--Leave. Just Leave.

Here we go again, another member blinded because it is a Chelsea player being talked about. I said IF, not I want to. Are you saying he is better than Thiago and you would rather have him here? I only said if because a few weeks ago there was a rumor about Dourtmund wanting to buy Kevin for 15m and their general manager just said yesterday that Kevin wants to come there.

So Dortmund's general manager represents KDB now? Come off it. If we did want to sell KDB he'd got for a lot more than 15m euros. Thiago's only at 18m euros right now because of his release clause. His true value in the current market is over 30m, common sense.

And we really don't need to sell to afford 18m.

So Dortmund's general manager represents JDB now? Come off it. If we did want to sell KDB he'd got for a lot more than 15m euros. Thiago's only at 18m euros right now because of his release clause. His true value in the current market is over 30m, common sense.

Yeah the Thiago value is way more, that is why I said IF it comes to selling Kevin for 15 and get Thiago for 18 then I am happy with it. I know we can afford easily, but we don't have enough place to fit all of them. And like I said all of these are based on recent rumors and I was hypothesizing different possible scenarios

Not quite sure why De Bruyne has to be brought into ever discussion, especially one about a player who would be used in a deeper role in all likelihood. :rolleyes:

Like this guy, like his price, like the fact that we're looking to do things differently in the pivot.

When has Oscar been used in the same way?

Exactly! People keep talking about Oscar in a central role, but he didn't play one meaningful game there all last season despite our complete lack of depth. In a 4-3-3, sure, he could play central midfield, but in the 4-2-3-1 we've been playing for years, he's an attacking midfielder.

I personally see Oscar, in the future, being one of the best #10's in the world. This will of course be when Mata slows down or (hopefully not) Oscar is sold.

I see De Bruyne's future as a winger for the most part then possibly being moved into a central role like Schweinsteiger. Really though, De Bruyne can play anywhere.

I see Thiago's future in a deep role. An Xabi Alonso role. He's a decent dribbler and a decent finisher, but a superb passer with superb vision. His absolute best role for the moment would no doubt be a centre midfield role, something he'd likely get at a team like United, but if he's under the right manager (hi Jose) and can change his game a bit I think he could be the next best thing when it comes to deep playmakers. (Just remember that Pirlo was originally an attacking midfielder and then became what is now arguably the best deep-lying playmaker of the last decade.)

Oscar is great at splitting passes which cut open a defence.

De Bruyne is great at whipping in a cross or cutting in and taking an accurate long shot.

Thiago is great at dictating play and hitting long balls over to the flank or to a striker.

So why not have all 3?
