Dr_Pangloss Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 He's quite some way better than 'decent' but he's definitely not worth that fee, but I'm not really going to complain about City getting mugged off on transfers, they deserve it.

The_Rev Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 But Chelsea won the league without De Bruyne last season so clearly they didn't miss him too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 31, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2015 Re- de Bruyne. It's also worth pointing out they tripled their money on a player that played 3 times for them. Hindsight is 20/20 but as Rev says, I think Chelsea got on just fine without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Toure is really hard to replace. He does it all for them and there is a huge gulf in quality between Toure and their other options. I mean Toure or Delph? It's not even close. Kompany on the other hand should be replaceable. Otamendi and Mangala really should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
