By Pennywise Go To PostYou're masturbating about Memphis Depay.Just because he's done well in the Dutch league doesn't mean it's not impressive.
DeBruyne has proven his quality in a proper league.
If City sort out their defense, they assemble alot of quality.
De Bruyne did well last season too, but for both its a question of whether they can carry that over to the PL and CL. From what i've see of Depay so far in the PL and CL, I can't see why he won't.
By Pennywise Go To PostWell he basically did that against Frankfurt, letting Kruse play behind Dost and DeBruyne on the left wing.That's awful for both Gladbach and Wolfsburg.
Schürle on the left wing and Hermann on the right, two strikers with one who playes behind the other.
They will not get Götze.
Bayern will not sell another high profile german player.
He will leave after the season, if he plays another lackluster one obviously.
Gladbach lost Kruse, who was their main striker and very important player. And Wolfsburg are using him as #10, instead of using him as rotation striker with Dost, as they should. Now both teams are worse than last season.
Wolfsburg should sign Max Meyer or something like that.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostGeorge Best wore 7 too. And Bryan Robson.
By wedward Go To PostCity casually spending another £158m.They've definitely improved with Sterling and I think having Navas and Sterling giving width, while Silva roams in the middle works well. They need to keep Aguero fit though.
If De Bruyne signs, will he take Navas' place?

Incredible. I refer to the article I posted earlier.
I dont understand why he's even considering moving back to the PL seeing as he pretty much failed there with Chelsea the first time, lol.
By Killer7 Go To PostJust because he's done well in the Dutch league doesn't mean it's not impressive.Believe me, DeBruyne is on another level compared to Depay.
De Bruyne did well last season too, but for both its a question of whether they can carry that over to the PL and CL. From what i've see of Depay so far in the PL and CL, I can't see why he won't.
He really got the talent to be WC, the Premier League will be no problem for him.
CL is certainly the place where he needs to prove himself.
City and their CL performances are the problem here, but the PL shouldn't be a problem, especially with players like Silva,Sterling and Aguero who will work well with him.
He already worked well with players that are a few levels under him and still dominated quite a few games.
He was the main reason for it.
By Elchele Go To PostThat's awful for both Gladbach and Wolfsburg.Ye.
Gladbach lost Kruse, who was their main striker and very important player. And Wolfsburg are using him as #10, instead of using him as rotation striker with Dost, as they should. Now both teams are worse than last season.
Wolfsburg should sign Max Meyer or something like that.
Wolfsburg and Gladbach will really struggle with the CL.
They already had their first taste of international games with the EL.
CL is another matter, and neither of them have the necessary depth once some injuries will happen.
And Gladbach really bought shit players.
Stindel won't help them as DM, no idea what Favre is thinking there.
And Drmic is just shit.
By Zabojnik Go To Post80M€ for De Bruyne seems about right. Probably the best attacking midfielder right now.
He isn't even the best attacking mid at City.
By wedward Go To PostHe isn't even the best attacking mid at City.
Not yet, anyway. I reckon it won't take him more than a couple of months.
By Zabojnik Go To PostNot yet, anyway. I reckon it won't take him more than a few months.Silva is a beast.
DeBruyne is younger though and still got room for improvement.
By Zabojnik Go To PostNot yet, anyway. I reckon it won't take him more than a few months.
Be very surprised if he has a better season than Silva.
By Zabojnik Go To Post80M€ for De Bruyne seems about right. Probably the best attacking midfielder right now.yep. Wolfsburg could have asked for more I think, considering his contract is until 2019.
By Pennywise Go To PostBelieve me, DeBruyne is on another level compared to Depay.I don't see it. Doing it in the Bundesliga and PL is completely different. He'll have to adapt to the league and he didn't cope the first time he tried with Chelsea.

I also think it's too early to judge Depay. He definitely has that potential to be world class and if he can continue to play like he did yesterday, I have no doubt he'll be better than De Bruyne.
By wedward Go To PostBe very surprised if he has a better season than Silva.He will if City shift Silva to the right/left to compensate De Bruyne.
By sam777 Go To PostHe will if City shift Silva to the right/left to compensate De Bruyne.
That would be beyond stupid.
By Elchele Go To Postpremfaces, manHe can make me a believer by doing it in the PL when he comes.
By wedward Go To PostThat would be beyond stupid.Yeah it would be but he has played there quite a few times for them over the years.
Seems like the people who've seen de Bruyne the most rate him the most. Would be a bit much to write him off because of how he did at Chelsea.
By Killer7 Go To PostI don't see it. Doing it in the Bundesliga and PL is completely different. He'll have to adapt to the league and he didn't cope the first time he tried with Chelsea.Well you don't watch both leagues on a regular basis :P

Schürrle made a decent impact, despite being nowhere near DeBruyne :P
There might be quite a few reasons why he left Chelsea....that's the thing you need to think about.
By wedward Go To PostThat would be beyond stupid.Depends.
If City had a decent coach who would use rotation between those positions, it would work out really well.
Silva already played pretty great on the wings at Valencia.
DeBruyne will be able to play on nearly every position, so Navas will most likely have a place on the bench.
By Pennywise Go To PostWell you don't watch both leagues on a regular basis :PI don't, but from what I've seen of him so far (chelsea/Wolfsburg/Belgium) I don't see anything special. When/If he comes to the PL, I'll see more.

Also Mou said KdB wanted to play every week and he couldn't offer it to him. Therefore he was sold.
By Laboured Go To PostMail say we're considering Greasemann tooNow he's a player I'd pay £56m for.
By Laboured Go To PostMail say we're considering Greasemann tooYou can have Townsend instead.
By Scum Go To PostYou can have Townsend instead.Only if you take Evans
By Killer7 Go To PostOnly if you take Evans
By Laboured Go To PostMail say we're considering Greasemann tooNothing on the mail website. Need something to be excited about after this Pedro saga.
By Killer7 Go To PostI don't, but from what I've seen of him so far (chelsea/Wolfsburg/Belgium) I don't see anything special. When/If he comes to the PL, I'll see more.National team isn't really the place to judge players.
Also Mou said KdB wanted to play every week and he couldn't offer it to him. Therefore he was sold.
Messi isn't working there either :P
Nah, I know that you barely seen his class.
The EL games were medicore, but that's something I elaborated on earlier.
Wolfsburg had nearly zero experience with international games.
No player really played there on a constant basis before, and just take a look how the Dortmund team looked in their first EL season under Klopp.
They weren't used to it.
And you basically explained WHY KdB failed at Chelsea.
He came to a club that was sucessful, with players on his position that had already proven themselves over a good amount of time.
They also had Mou's trust, something which KdB didn't and it's obviously his target to play as much as he can.
It was easier to get to another club...
Saw on twitter but apparently ESPN said we could be done for the sunmer.
Pls no.
I need one more attacking signing.
Pls no.
I need one more attacking signing.
By Killer7 Go To PostSaw on twitter but apparently ESPN said we could be done for the sunmer.Don't worry he can evolve.
Pls no.
I need one more attacking signing.
By Scum Go To PostHave we signed Berahino yet?
By Pennywise Go To PostNational team isn't really the place to judge players.Player of the world cup & Copa, and saying he's not working for Argentina is a bit harsh on Messi m8 lol.

Fuck De Bruyne anyway. He doesn't play for either of our clubs.
Now Reus, send him over pls.
By Pennywise Go To PostMessi isn't working there either :P
He is. If you only judged players based on international games he would still be considered the best in the world.
By wedward Go To PostHe is. If you only judged players based on international games he would still be considered the best in the world.No.
Jack Wilshere is.
By Pele.gif Go To PostWe're getting bukkaked by Ranieri this weekend.
"
By Killer7 Go To PostNo.
Jack Wilshere is.
Who?
By Killer7 Go To PostPlayer of the world cup & Copa, and saying he's not working for Argentina is a bit harsh on Messi m8 lol.The player of the WC trophy was a joke.
Fuck De Bruyne anyway. He doesn't play for either of our clubs.
Now Reus, send him over pls.
And you would have to pay at least the same amount for Reus :P
Sorry, won't happen :>
Kagawa already told his mates to avoid United.
By wedward Go To PostHe is. If you only judged players based on international games he would still be considered the best in the world.Not on the same level as he is for Barca, but we all know that he is the best.
Personally I wouldn't judge a player on his performance within the national team.
League games and CL/EL games are the bread and butter, that's where I rate people.
