De Bruyne?

If he isn't prepared to put in a transfer request, we will have to meet Wolfsburg valuation...which we would have to do anyway.
 
Think we knew he wasn't going to hand in a request as he would have already done it. This is all about money. Nothing else. Still nailed on.
 
I really think DeBruyne could be a hugely important addition but not at any cost. If Wolfsburg wasn't trying to fleece us then you could tell DeBruyne to forgo any loyalty bonus and City would pay him a bigger sign-on bonus. But with them asking for ridiculous sums it just makes no sense. I'm getting so tired of this flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flapflap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flap flapflap flap flap flap it's time to move on.
 
I see no issue with what he has said.

To me it looks like everything is ready and waiting for the go ahead from Wolfsburg

Sterling never handed in a transfer request.

True. That did mean we were required to pay the asking piece of £49m though, albeit with add ons etc involved. If De Bruyne isn't considering a transfer request then Wolfsburg's "new" figure of £57m, as opposed to £47m mentioned previously, may need to be met to get him, which is a huge sum of money indeed.

No. Wolfsburg just have no use for our money. It`s like someone would offer 200Mio€ for Aguero. We would say no because it is impossible to find a replacement. This is even harder for Wolfsburg, they are a fucking boring average team in an average league everybody already today knows who will win it. Wolfsburg officials have pointed out a hundred time that they don`t want to sell him. Our only hope was KDB to tell them he wants to leave, what still would be hard as Wolfsburg would still have asked for ridiculous money.

Player doesn`t want not to leave the club + Club that does not need money + low standing of the club + short time to find replacement = 0,01% chance to sign him.
 
Wolfsburg don't want to sell. They don't need money off the pitch, and on the pitch they know that even with £40, £50...£70m they can't buy players who are good enough to replace him. They have 0 incentive to sell unless they think he is going to demand to leave.

People on here are throwing out some really biazarre reasonings "They won't get this much again!" Well, yes of course they would if he keeps performing, and even if he didn't do quite as well, and they didn't get 100% of what we're offering now, the fact he'd get them into the CL for another season would more than make up the difference.

I'm not flapping, or trying to incite flapping in others, I just think the insanely arrogant "little german club can't turn down our £45m offer" that some people are posting is complete bollocks and those people should realise they can, they hold all the cards, and we're basically going to have to pay what they ask to get him- like we did with Sterling.
 
" no offer accepted"
"We have a good relationship with Vfl, There is no reason why we should submit a transfer request"

So, reading between the lines, our first offer was rejected.
And KDB hasn't YET put in for a transfer request.
It's either old news, or KDB needs to put in a request, and his agent needs to put his client first, and if KDB, by all indications wants to come to City, that should be the direction he focuses his attention on, not pussyfooting around trying not to "upset" people....
