De Bruyne?

If De Bruyne isn't arsed/wants to stay at WOB, like some say, why has he turned down two contract offers? His only fault here is being too nice and not confrontational enough to make this hostile. He has told them privately and politely he would like to move, but it hasn't really sped it up. Perhaps he will become more aggressive in the last 7 days.

Also, it's OK to name players like Griezmann and Bale and how much they might cost, but a player could have a 20p release clause and it means nothing if they don't want to move. Chelsea already tried for Griezmann and United seem to have harassed Madrid constantly for Bale. Same applies for Isco.

How much better than Nasri is KDB? Nasri clearly has more passing/finishing ability than Navas, and Sterling currently, yet we don't play him because he slows us down and makes us narrow compared to what Navas does.

I've seen the KDB videos and obviously he looks class, and you don't post the stats he posted last season without playing at a very high level - but where would he play for us? Silva is amazing in behind the striker so I wouldn't want him pushed back out wide, therefore I assume his aim is to replace Navas, but is KDB the kind of player that would do what Navas does or would he play more into Nasri's style?

We look good playing with 2 genuine wide players and spreading the play, my only worry with this signing would be the loss of that on one side.

These are genuine questions to people who've had chance to watch KDB more than me, as I've only really seen from highlight videos, which of course make anyone look pretty good.

he is an upgrade on navas....you can see him as a mix of both players...he is faster than nasri more fluid maybe not that fast as navas but fast...and skillful and good at long range shoots or shoots in generell like nasri....so would be an upgrade and its good to have him playing right sterling left and silva in the middle....when you want to compete with the best you need two good person for one postition so we can brinf the pacefull navas for de bruyne in second half and he would terrorise the defense and the skillful nasri for sterling in second half...and for ferna or toure you can bring delph...must buy to compete with the big guns like bayern,barca or real

I am not sure why Forza has actually said this. If it isn't close now, it ain't getting done at all. What is the significance of Friday? That an ultimatum?

Some people keep mentioning Bale but there is no chance of that happening at this late stage.Look at all the financial implications and it would be impossible to conduct and complete a sale of this magnitude in less than week.
 
He's had one good season for club right? He's not english... how's he worth £58m? I was thinking £34m at the start of the window.

And be nothing like him whatsoever as a player.

Both different players. Griezmann is better as a winger but KDB is better as an attacking mid.

@miketork summed it up perfectly. He'll play as a winger because there's no way he'll take silva's role because imo silva's the best playmaker in the world. As a winger he's still good but i don't think he's better than Griezmann

The information they have posted on this transfer has been completely wrong. I know they're posting in good faith and I get happy about new info as much as anyone else, but it's clear that with this one only official comments are going to count.

We have to hope that we don't run out of time or maybe that the deadline will work to our advantage and force Wolfsberg to make a decision.

No, he won't. Where he has told them privately and politely that he wants to join us? Isco all over again.

We're obviously looking at a player in KDB. The club obviously feel he would supplement if not greatly enhance what we already have. However, if it doesn't look like its going to happen, then will we turn our attention to a likeminded player of similar standard so late in the day? The fact is the clock is ticking and we have (what?) 7 days left. If we can't get a big name player over the line in 2 3/4 months (admittedly from a stubborn seller), what chance of a different option of a similar standard being available in that final week?

(In addition, if we can't get KDB, why don't we formally extract ourselves from the situation and keep hold of the money for January or next summer?)
 
Been watching and watching, and its gone round in circles everyday, everyone getting giddy when told will be done friday then Tuesday, then Bayern want him now the Scum want him! Just keeps going on and on. Doing my head in as is with everyone else. I want to stop coming on here but keep doing so hopeing for info in a positive way, but when we get positive feedback it then gets put back to square one the following day! We should end this today one way or the other get him signed or forget it! Driving us all crazzzzzyyy
