De Bruyne?

[ojeme]

sometimes she does it with really expensive jewellery we can't afford. I liken this to the rags being interested in bale and neymar haha

add muller, ramos and griezman to that list and then pedro missed for pennies of the pound
they've been pretty awful their business this summer

Can't see anything on Newsnow about the SSN reported £54m+£4m bid.

 

[BenjaniMwaruwari]

So, are we getting closer?

 

[Spennymcfc]

Why would Barca sell messi at any price.

There is no replacement for messi even with all the money in the world.

Clubs like Barca and Real Madrid are not trying to profit off of player sales, they are after prestige.

He is the clubs legend and greatest player.

Barca is not owned by a individual it is basically owned by the season ticket holders who appoint a president. Any one who even thinks about selling messi would be crucified before it happened.

Same goes for a player like Bale, they are simply not plausible, that is why we are after someone like de bruyne.

It was tounge in cheek don't worry.

Annoys me that the chavs can wrap up pedro in a day or two but we have to dance around with clubs for weeks

 

[Moveonlife]

Not reporting what?

Some are saying that SSN has reported that Wolfsburg are considering a bid from us but I can't see anything on their site or twitter..

ompletely different scenario. Pedro was surplus at Barca, they were happy to let him go for a reasonable price.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Probably cos Pedro had release clause and he wanted out and was met, conversely no release clause for KDB and they are keen to hold on to him.

Having seen how we we now play i think we missed a trick with not getting Pedro in as he could replace/or sub for Navas without losing pace down wings.

Pedro had a release clause

Generally speaking, they're really fantastic about closing deals fast.. but look at Stones, it's dragged on in the public for the better part of 6-7 weeks while we were only sort of tangentially linked with Otamendi for a little while before closing him down in a flash. Every transfer is different. You can get it done quickly if the selling club wants to cash in.

 

[Armaan]

Pesto had a release clause

Bingo.

 

[Champions2012!]

You're right, forgot about Stones.
Also I realize kdb is a much greater asset to Wolfsburg than Pedro was for Barcelona.

 

[crystal_mais]

Bingo.

Oops

 

[ono]

thanks for your reply mate...No, Sky saying they've had an offer of £54.4mil + add ons and are still thinking about it....

Well you know what Sky are like. They need to wait for Brian Swanson to finish trawling through the football forums to find out some breaking news.

 

[pudge]

Bingo.

To be fair, weren't they able to negotiate a fee less than the release clause?

 

[ojeme]

No, they are saying the bid is being considered but I think that more or less, this amounts to the same thing. It's a final offer, I bet, and Wolfsburg probably know it. That said, I hope we steer clear of doing any further business with these flea bags twatzoids once this saga is out of the way.

disagree...we'll steer clear after signing Ricardo Rodriguez next season!

took them 6 weeks to buy a LB from a small club happy to sell.

Patience my pretty ones.

The ugly inbred ****.

 

[mcfc1632]

All those quick to criticise KDB - ever think that his agent and Txiki have advised him to keep quiet and leave it to them?
