De Bruyne?

The right price seems to change everytime we make an offer though, and while it seems to rile some people up to say it, at some point City have to say ok he is not worth what you want especially as he really doesnt mind if he stays or comes to us.

This is the bit I can't get my head around. Regardless of his professionalism, integrity or his respect for Wolfsburg or whatever platitude you want to throw around, why is he letting someone else decide his future in their interests without putting up a fight. If he didn't want to come full stop I could understand and respect that, but not giving Wolfsburg a blank cheque in effect saying "you decide I'm easy".
It sounds to me like he is a sheep with a pack of wolves around him, and that includes his agent.

Hah thats the most painful part! I will say this, but it will never happen, i will be glued to my computer and tv screens next season when transfer window is open and we are linked with a number of players.

Gab Marcotti thinks City are in the drivers seat, i just hope we stump up big money on the table in order to force Wolfsburg's hand and persuade De Bruyne to come here. Would be an absolute buzz around this forum if we signed him, would be fantastic. Fingers crossed.

All this shit has taken the shine off it for me. It's going to be a huge anti climax when he signs.

Or Isco for that matter. Or splash an extra 20 million quid for Bale. I bet Bale's transfer would be a bit of a saga as well.

I don't think those players are available at the moment, but every time PSG and Real Madrid go shopping it frees up one Galactico.

It's tempting to think what else £50m buys, but so far there haven't been many really big transfers of star players this Summer. Just the Premiership clubs playing extraordinary sums for players who are not in the elite bracket

If we don't strengthen now, then maybe we are not maximising or chances for this season, and I remember how disappointed we all were last season.

Lol I also imagine people will jump really fast on him if we sign and he doesnt perform right from the start. We all know how loved were our own players like Dzeko, Nasri, Navas, Kolarov etc

I wish I still shared your confidence but I cant. I really feel that they never had any intention of selling him to us that is evidenced by there refusual until a few days ago to even aknowledge us and the constant, its very close posts but nothing comes of them.

No I think they will. They know we have deep pockets and want the player. They are just dragging it out to get max value.

You are, in my opinion, absolutely correct. He hasn't elevated himself in the estimation of City fans by sitting back and watching Wolfsburg take the piss out of us. A little demonstration of enthusiasm for joining us wouldn't have gone amiss.

Or just maybe he`s been asked by both clubs to say fuck all until an announcement from Wolfsburg do have a decent replacement for him.It is possible.

Could be, maybe the deal has been done for few days already. All I know is that nobody knows jack shit besides people in the charge
 
He has a lot to live up to if he does sign. This post from last night summed it up well.

Fed up of this saga now, not even keeping up with it but I keep seeing his name everywhere, his first touch in a City shirt better be an overhead kick flying in the top corner whilst he shits gold mid-flight.

You never know. Anything is possible, and you're probably right but I've been ground down by this transfer and I'm feeling piss ed off and any thought that is coming out of my mind is going to be negative and out of character but I'm going to go with it because it feels quite good just now. So I'm going to carry on in that vein until I fall asleep and hope I feel a bit more positive in the morning.[/QUOTE]
 
I'm not a ITK but I'm sick and tired of all this KDB talk.

Oh the "City are still engaged with talks over the fee" shite is spouted in the meedjia more regularly than my dog licks his balls.

The way we are playing at the moment, along with the squad we have to play 50ish games is fine by me. I hate to say this but if negotiations are taking this long I wonder about the agents and contractual issues involved.

And I think thats the way to look at it until next Tuesday.I do feel sorry for Tolm & Ric,as I know they wouldn`t post any old shit and you can clearly tell they are equally pissed off,but what do we know,everything may be fine and dandy at the other end.

I hope so, but it has given us the jitters going into the last week of the window. I guess it is the same for most long and drawn out sagas, there would be no transfer without a lot of media bullshit beforehand. I think we kind of expected the media to drag out names out of the hat in regards to being linked with De Bruyne. I think we are the only club who have been interested in him from day one, i hope that pretty much seals it.

There's only one issue and that is how much they can wring out of us and as far as I can see K'DBS agent is hand in glove with Wolfsburg.

I think everyone,myself included to some extent,had hoped this would have been concluded day ago.I just get the feeling that no news is good news and for whatever reason there appears to be very little coming out of that Sporting Directors gob-shit of a mouth over the past few days.
Either he`s getting sick of it or somethings afoot.Less than a week to go now.
