What Randy is saying is KDB doesn't have the chest for the Premiere League.
He is no where close to a 58 million pound player, he might end up like DiMaria all over again but stick around an exra year or two bc its reported he will be on 200k a week.

Yes, his finishing needs working... but his pace, strength, work rate and tactical awareness are all excellent and he's only 20... if you don't think his presence on the left flank has not contributed to City's good start, well I don't know what to say...
Is he worth what they paid? not in my opinion (today at least) and it was a no-brainer for us to sell him... I don't think he'll ever be the main man, but he doesn't need to be there...
De Bruyne? I said a couple of weeks ago I don't see all the fuss when watching him... IMO he's not a natural wide player... he likes to drift centrally and that is where Silva is dangerous..
But, if they can afford it... more power to them... I think they may be widening the gap of quality talent in the pre...

I agree
he is more lethal when playing in the middle and loves to drift to the middle when playing on the right and could be a liability defensively.

I don't know if they eventually have plans to drop him deeper, maybe as a yaya replacement??
I know Pellegrini really liked the 4-2-2-2 at times... maybe have sterling play off Aguero?? I dunno... would love to have that problem..

him as a box to box is asking for trouble
I feel like a lot of City fans in general not talking about this board who are excited about him don't watch the Bundesliga.

Wednesday have had a 10 mil bid for mcSWAGmack rejected by fulham

Draxler needs to regain his pre injury form but that's a good replacement.
Bayern told Schalke they can have Højbjerg on loan if Draxler leaves.
Knew Dante was gone, he's a loveable guy but he's lost it a bit.

Yeah fricking Wednesday can suck my dick for £10m. No way we sell him that cheap in our own league.

There's nothing wrong with KDB drifting centrally. Silva doesn't stay in one spot. They can move. Silva and Nasri work well together even though they both operate in similar space. You don't need KDB to offer width. Actually using the overlapping fullback, which Navas doesn't do, creates width while KDB can drift inside. Plus Silva won't play every game.
I would have preferred a natural box to box or DLP to replace Yaya in games, but I easily see ways KDB fits into the team. Pretending like he won't is just wishful thinking.

interesting... you expect him to see much playing time? I though Juve would want to hold on to him.. he has looked pretty good...

sterling creates a shite ton of space and that's all he's being asked to do at this point. he creates a lot of corners and fouls on the wing
that is all he's being asked to do and he's doing it. i'm sure his role will advance over time. he's still very young
Posted on 8/30/15 at 8:46 am to TFTC
I have no idea. I've seen a €25mil option to buy reported.

Then why do you need KdB?

You don't need him taking up space in the middle where all your other best players already are.

80m is a lot of money for improved depth.

When you spend that much money it should be for a more proven player, a better player, and a player that fills an immediate need. Not a guy who can add depth when Silva is out and can probably find a way to fit in the team.
You're going to win the League easily without him and I certainly don't think he's going to help you in Europe where you have to be more pragmatic.
Again, with that said I admire the commitment to target a player and do whatever it takes to make it happen. Really wish our board would have done the same.

let me just say, i think the KdB stuff is just foolish. they want depth and an eventual silva replacement. since Isco isn't an option, there isn't a "value buy" replacement so tehy're going for a Galactico
KdB is also going to be kind of a jack of all trades, like milner was. he's goign to play wide left, wide right, centrally, and probably in yaya's role at times. with the injury history and depth needs, you can make an argument
now, will he be happy with that?
