De Bruyne?

[forevermancity]

Sorry mate but your spouting shit based on just your frustrations. What we should be able to agree on is that Txiki is paid very handsomely by his employer. I suspect that salary reflects his worth. Would you agree to that?

I would agree but in the same vein Fernando is paid handsomely by his employer too, is he exempt of criticism. I know questioning txiki's performance on here is sacrilege, I used to deride posters for doing so, but I cant see what he is doing.

But again, if you look at Txiki's record of offloading players and getting fees then I'd say he has done an admirable job. Those Dzeko/Jovetic loan deals guarantee us a fee at the end just like the Negredo deal did. It's good business and it's not like we're the only club who the Italians try and fuck with. I was listening to a podcast recently where a journo from the Times was saying he had spoken to German, French, and Dutch clubs recently who all said that they preferred to sell players into England because Italian and Spanish clubs just weren't prepared to pay the money required or structure the fees an acceptable way.

We forget that the rest of Europe looks at our TV deal and then decides on valuations based on that both for players they sell and players they buy.

Are we certain that the Dzeko and Jovetic loans have an obligation to buy clause then?

You can see what Fernando does week in week out though and therefore can judge

You have fuck all idea what Txiki is doing behind the scenes so therefore can say fuck all

Yes, Allofs was totaly convinced KDB would sign him. He did not.

Then surely the flapathon must wait, either until he does sign the contract extension or until we run out of window.

 

[SambaStyle]

Don't think it will happen now.

Messed up not getting Isco in the first place. Any other talented players of similar ilk? Bernando Silva signed new contract at Monaco, too.

There was a very good reason why we "messed up" not getting Isco and I for one was very happy as to the reasons City decided to abort any further discussions at the time.

Questioning Txiki's performance with the window still running is rather premature don't you think? If, as you concede, you don't see what he is doing, what are you basing your arguments on?

It's reading shit like this that gets my goat

Seems it's not appreciated by people get called rags but it's ok for you, and others hard of thinking, to denigrate City fans on a City forum, ironic don't you think?

I'm not denigrating City fans, I am one myself after all. I've loved this club since the days of Maine Road. I'm criticising the minority who think its ok to attack another member of the forum without provocation, and think that this is somehow a closed community for them to enjoy exclusively. High post court means fuck all quite frankly.

I'll feel happier on Monday when we are 5 points clear of our only realistic rivals for the title. If we are 1 point behind them on Monday we can reflect on how costly not being more swift and decisive this window might prove to be.

Would say that from a Wolfsburg point of view they are playing a blinder .

 

[ankitptrivedi]

He has said he is not signing a contract with Wolfsburg till the transfer window is open because he wants to see which clubs are interested and wants to hear offers.

Wolfsburg only play a blinder if he stays. No matter how much we end up paying, they won't be able to replace him and will suffer because of it. They'll likely lose the CL, definitely won't get out of the groups and the idea of winning any more trophies will be gone as well.

AT THE MOMENT...he is staying with us.

Tolmie is right. This is done and dusted, just haggling over the fee.

 

[Whitty1001]

Is there any situation where sterling silva de bruyne and pedro play in the same team. Like de bruyne dropping to cm next to yaya and pedro on the wing. (To clarify I prefer de bruyne over pedro any day but with this apparent bid being placed it makes me wonder if we are slowly backing away from this transfer)

Your post is suggesting that Txiki could have already closed these deals out - is that a correct asumption on my part?

 

[nellyonthewing]

Getting bored with this now . If he has to be dragged here then fuck him.

But the window is open. Do you mean the January one? Because if so, fuck him and move on.

 

[Manx Blue]

I think part of the problem is something which was raised in a thread by @Ricster. The club continually put out that they want the business done swiftly. We collectively think end of June or early July, especially after Negredo and Navas (?) Signed so quickly.

If the club's ambitions are delayed by paperwork or protocols then we start to get restless. I think we need some patience and faith in Tolmie, Zin, MCRJON, Stephen Hakin and anyone else who has the balls to put on the block. Well done to them and let's hope all projected deals get done.

This quote is not correct. He said: "At the moment which he stands at the VfL center, I can see a happy De Bruyne who is looking forward to start with us"
