Nah, not this window anyway, if at all. De Bruyne is the one leaving from the group of attacking midfielders we have. Matic's more of a holding type of central midfielder, which is the sort of player we've needed for a while in my opinion. As solid as Mikel can be, he doesn't really get play started from the back like Matic, and can slow things down. It's one in one out and De Bruynes fee will pay a large chunk of Matic's fee, if he comes that is. I'm surprised this window has been quiet so far. There's a few clubs that need players and look like they'll be paying over the odds the nearer the deadline gets. We're experts at that...
