Typical for a Chelsea fan to still deny their club made a mistake. If you kept De Bruyne and help him grow like Wolfsburg, he wouldn't go to City and you have yourself one of the world's best no.10s as a key player at your club instead your rivals benefitting it.
Who cares anyway? Its not like he has been the difference for City this season is it. They are sitting 3rd, so he hasn't exactly improved them a great deal.
And how in the hell do you know he would have become half the player he became in that one season at Wolfsburg if he had stayed with us? Did we make a mistake in selling him? Yeah on the face of it, it appears so. But who gives a ****. Whats done is done, its not the end of the world, and we move on. Ditto with United and Pogba. If he now moves to a PL club, does that mean United fans will start committing suicide in droves at the terrible decision SAF made?
If anything he will cost them the title by not tracking back in away games. They have enough in attack already. With Chelsea out of the picture, United **** and Arsenal ordinary, City should be walking the title this season. Ever wondered why they hadn't won away from home in months?? It is such a weak league up top they'll probably win it anyway
Since when did I said Chelsea sold him to City? All I been saying is Chelsea shouldn't sold De Bruyne and give him a fairer opportunity so a rival wouldn't have to buy him from a club who did the exact opposite to Chelsea.
So clubs should never sell players, in case they one day end up at another PL club to play against them? Good logic
Post 8581 At least I'm comfortable that Pogba didn't move to our biggest rival. Since when ha Again, since when have Wolfsburg been our rival?
You didn't fully understood my comment. First of all, when I said I'm glad Pogba didn't move to our big rivals, I meant that he's at Juventus and more likely to move Real Madrid or Barcelona (not Utd's rivals) instead of City, Arsenal or Chelsea (defo Utd's rivals) BTW, if you think I said Wolfsburg are Chelsea's rivals - seek help
Are they ****. City and Liverpool are. Leeds possibly, when they aren't floundering in the second tier.
I think the "debate" is done. You think Chelsea should have had the foresight not to sell a youth player to a German club in case in one season time his price was inflated by £40m and he was sold back to the PL to a rival club. If our management and coaching team had that kind of foresight, we would be winning our 10th back to back title this season..........
And yes, we have never historically been great rivals of United. Between 2004-2011 we competed for the title against each other somewhat, since then United have been competing for the title whilst we were in the top 6, then we were competing for the title whilst United were 7th/4th, then you are now competing for top 6 whilst we are fighting relegation.....so not much rivalry going on there is there. 2010 was the last time our two clubs had a good title rivalry going really.
I'll leave it there oh spin merchant. If you meant something then say it, you may not have to backtrack all the time then.
You're not though, not in the traditional sense. ALL clubs are rivals in that we're ultimately competing for the same prizes but if you think United fans look through the fixture list because we can't wait for the Chelsea game you really are kidding yourself.
Indeed. Likewise with us. Most of our games in recent years have been pretty dull affairs too. 1-0 and 0-0 and 1-1 and such. My favourite Man utd/Chelsea game was in 1999, when we beat your treble winning team 5-0 at the Bridge, even Chris Sutton scored that day
