If true i hope we have a top class plan b! That sort of money is a joke!
Seems pretty obvious we're not inclined to do so.Id walk. We have the tools. He is worth 50mil, thats it. They are taking the piss now. Its not like we have not shown what we are capable of without.
It's been widely known for fookin ages that £57m was the asking price. Think the £50.04m reports were premature but obviously like Sterling we want to shave a few million away. Still extremely confident it will be done at £54m up front.
Well we'll be out of window soon enough. It is defecate or get off the pot time for all concerned.I agree BluePhil.....we've gone this far...adding a few extra mil to get it done would make no difference to our spending....(over a 6year contract an extra 4-5mil costs less than 800k a year on FFP).....whatever it takes.....its time to close this deal!;)
I'm sure this point has been laboured but I'll give it a go anyway.
We are a huge club these days, we aspire to be like Real Barca and Bayern.
We'll need to pay big money for big players, and KDB is a big player, just as the top top teams do (I'm not on about the rags or Chelsea).
People who were happy at 50 mill and are baulking at 57 need to get a grip. Idiots know thyselves.
And yes we've tried to haggle, do you think the richest clubs stay profitable by throwing money away?
This season is just the start
As in us and Wolfsburg in the same group,we could hopefully take our frustration of this transfer out on them on the pitch..I wonder whether the CL draw next week will be significant in how this pans out?
Even I have to agree with this and I dont think hes worth even 50M. Look at Real, they wanted Rodriguez, everyone knows he isnt 4th best player in world or Bale is far from being best. But they paid money, they got players they want, they improved team, and world was talking about those transfers. And selling teams got shit loads of money to waste on dross. Because what is money if there arent good enough players to buyI'm sure this point has been laboured but I'll give it a go anyway.

Bild :
De Bruyne prefers Bayern over Manchester City. His wife isnt keen on living in England and de bruyne also prefers to play in Germany. His agent has offered time for Bayern Munich to react, he also made it clear, that he would not demand a high salary for him. Bayern will make a decision before transfer window , if failed , he prefers to go to City.
