Could work against them though...
I remember us going to QPR early one season with Sharp, Gray, Heath, Steven and Sheedy and talking to R's fans before the game they would happily have switched it to Lords in fear of the drubbing we were about to give them... we lost 3-0 largely down to having too many options and failing miserably to pick the right one.

Ha, that is so Everton isn't it?!

City have a bit of the same ability to shoot themselves in the foot, whichever way it works out at least it should be fun. Although as @Falcao says it won't look good for Mourinho if he is a success so even if I didn't like the lad I'd want the move to leave Jose with egg on his face.

.....when we played Wolfsburg I noticed one of our midfielders making a run into the box. One of their players let him go, completely unmarked we squandered a great chance. Watching the replay I noted it was KdB who wasn't doing the basics and I realised then why Chelsea probably sold him.

Because he let his man go once? No wonder talent cant flourish in this country

.....it might have been a one-off but it was very noticeable. Mourinho is clearly a believer that even the most talented have responsibilities, you can see the difference in Hazzard and perhaps it's why KdB and Mata moved on. I wouldn't argue that KdB isn't a fine player, just pointing out a possible weakness.
 
Developed a lot better than I though, this boy. Saw him a bit at Genk and I thought he was too indisciplined and not good enough to get away with his indiscipline. But he seems to be an assist machine now, which is good.

The 24-year-old returned to English football last month for a fee three times greater than the £18m which Chelsea sold him for to Wolfsburg having enjoyed a hugely impressive eighteen months with last season’s Bundesliga runners-up.
Having made his last Premier League appearance for Chelsea as a makeshift centre-forward at Manchester United in August 2013, De Bruyne fell out of favour with Mourinho by questioning his absence from the team.


But despite Mourinho’s subsequent claims that De Bruyne could not cope with the pressure of fighting for his place, De Bruyne insists that the Portuguese did little to convey those views at the time. M"I didn't get any explanation,” De Bruyne said. “I only talked with him twice, Mourinho. “That was before the Champions League game against Basel, where he said I was doing better, in his opinion and that I would get my chance. I think that was maybe November.

“And then one week before January, that's the day I said I wanted to go out because even if I was training better, I was not getting any minutes. “So for me personally, it was better to go."
