Robert: De Bruyne is an essential part of the present City setup. I would keep him in the squad. He may need to consider a pay cut, but he would support other players and advise those from the academy. He is intelligent, articulate and a great player with the respect of all around him. We must keep him for at least two years.

It might sting Kevin de Bruyne and his fans that his time at Man City is coming to an end this summer, but it's the right call for both club and player.

Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe praise Kevin De Bruyne for his game-winning goal for Manchester City against Wolves and wonder if the club is making a big mistake not re-signing De Bruyne.
