Mole_Toonfan Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Good for City mind, if they did get De Bruyne they would be clear favourites on paper but seemingly that isn't happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Kompany is slowing down, anyway. They need 3 CBs to challenge. Demichelis would be an excellent #4 too. If he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 De Bruyne just confirmed he'll be staying at Wolfsburg this season. Conned into reading out a statement in German (a language he only speaks a little of) that he'd be staying. His agent not happy today and says negotiations ongoing with few clubs.

triggs Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Wouldn't be so great if he still gets sold mind. Great as in hilarious. If it's actually true it's probably going to drive him away even more. He surely knows better though, he'd lived in Germany for about two years hasn't he between Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 @itvfootball 6m6 minutes ago Man City set to sign defender Otamendi in £31m deal #MCFC http://www.itv.com/news/update/2015-08-18/man-city-set-to-sign-31m-argentine-defender/ … (think most of the 'fee' will be a write-off of what is owed for Negredo) Thought he was off to Man United?! Are they really going with Smalling and Blind this year?! Nuts. Smalling has been the best defender in the league since the start of the year. Don't really want Blind beside him though.

Don't really know. My general opinion of FFP is that it's just nonsense that any half decent accountant can dance their way around.

The College Dropout Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Smalling has been canny like. Looks like he's turned the corner. I think he's finally maturing into a very good defender. RAate the lad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
