    Well last season KDB wasn't this good.

    Both players are having their best ever seasons. Be interesting to see who performs next season...

    Also if KDB is out for a while which is looking likely will Man City really miss him? I'm not so sure.

    Probably, if you’ve got £250 mill or so knocking about...

    Definitely, they'll miss him for sure. He makes all the difference imo. They'll miss Jesus too. Fact is though the gap is too big to close now.

    Of course they will. Any team would miss a player with his vision and ability to deliver on that vision.

    Bit expensive for a LB. Cheers though.

    Yeah but they can just put Silva there or Gundagon... or any number of other quality CMs.

    Salah is irreplaceable at the moment.

    That's the difference. Although I know that's nothing to do with individual ability as its all about the squad.

    Silva is a great player, but doesn’t deliver those long killer passes that De Bruyne can.

    Fact is, at the moment, KDB is pretty much irreplaceable.

    He's their best player but their squad is insane. Silva has excellent vision. Can't quite find those defence splitting passes like KDB but he's not far behind....

    They could do with Coutinho at this difficult time! He can find those passes...and he'll become a Barca great.

    Most people miss Jesus tel. Some **** knocked on my door about missing Jesus on Christmas Eve. Selfish ****er...i thought.

    I just gave them Spurlocks number and said I was him.

    If I could pick 3 players to sign to close that gap on City it'd be Dybala, Kroos and Alderweireld.

    If United want to challenge on that sort of level, those three would probably cost £300m easy. City's owners would just pay that if Pep wanted them.

    Rumour has it Jose wants Coutinho.

    Toby, Kroos and Coutinho?

    I’d have thought Vidal would suit Jose’s style more.

    He'd be better for Pogba.

    Indeed, Jose’s always had an animal in his teams and Vidal would be ideal.

    Is KDB definitely out? ... news about Jesus was pretty quick to come out... but haven't seen any concrete confirmation on KDB yet?

    The rumours of Kroos are gathering pace, if we sign him I'd be stunned. He's absolutely perfect for United.

    I was thinking having a good hair stylist in the squad would help Pogba.

    He's the tailor made player to complete our midfield three with Pogba and Matic.

    We can but hope!
