De Bruyne?

[FanchesterCity]

No he isn't, he should be spending the fucking money, NOW!!

Bayern are potentially in a bit of an unstable situation, & this little shit is fasrting about rather than strengthening the Wolfsburg team, to challenge them. Ther will only be occasional opportunities to do that, & this season may be one. Instead of cashing in & making Wolfsburg strong, he is looking at putting fucking money in the bank.

He's shit.

Rubbish.
He's pumped the price up considerably for starters.
You used the example of Real coming in for Aguero. I'd expect City to be fighting for every last penny, and repeatedly reminding Real that he is OUR player until a deal is concluded, not waiving the white flag immediately saying 'you were always going to get him anyway, so take him now'.

You're looking at it entirely through sky blue coloured specs. When it comes to buying our players, we want other teams to roll over and let us get who we want. The only people that are irked by Aloffs are City, and we're still in for De Bruyne, so I'd say he's managed to drive a bloody hard bargain. They aren't going to get a like for like replacement for De Bruyne, so why should they hurry into getting one just because the window is closing? They might as well secure the maximum price they can get, then take their time on buying the RIGHT replacement when the opportunity arises.

A Cessna 560 Citation Encore + Private Jet has just landed at Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport from Saarbrucken. Could this be the jet that's on standby?

If you're talking about this one

it looks as if it's heading towards Monaco.............possibly with our new public enemy number one Alloffs aboard!

Which is Wolfsburg's problem. They are under zero obligation to make things easy for us or the player and will go the extra mile to squeeze as much cash out of us whilst being total arseholes at the same time. It will end with KDB as a City player but we make think twice about going for another of their players in the future - a bit like ManU not keen on dealing with Levy at Spurs.

I take your point on challenging Bayern and not giving himself time to reinvest etc but I think challenging Bayern has been made illegal in Germany so he probably figures he might as well be difficult as possible over KDB and get his face on the telly.

I think getting his face on the telly seems very important to him.

Can't think of anyone else behaving like this apart from Harry Redknapp. Since when does a d.o.f. do pre match conferences ?

 

[DHMCFC]

Yes I got one in the post yesterday.

thanks mate

 

[mcfcfc]

we won't sell lopes without being confident this deal will be done/is done...that will leave us only with nasri as a sub for that 3 behind the striker....no way we will do this

I'm looking at it from the point of view of a Wolfsburg fan.

I recon more will agree with me, than agree with you.

 

[Tez Tosterone]

I don't know if it was mentioned on the last 10/20 pages but Raphael Honigstein was speaking on Talk***** 10 minutes ago to Jacobs.

He clearly stated that media organizations misinterpreted the Wolfsburg conference statement from Allofs this morning and that he is pretty certain that negotaitions to complete the deal are still underway.

RH certainly left me with the impression that KdB will be a City player by 1/9/15

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Or Tuesday?

No they said it shouldn't go past Monday.

 

[daztrueblue91]

Or when City agree to 70 million, drag it out for another month demanding 71.2 & then sign a couple of cheap players 'because we haven't time' .

Peter Swales.

We could quite easily refuse to pay the asking price and they are no weaker.

Reports suggest we have matched their asking price and it's just haggling over the structure of the payments.

Let's face it, Wolfsburg would have struggled to replace KDB anyways. The fact he is commanding such a high fee suggests there are no other available players like him in Europe.

They sell KDB and they weaken the team, they might as well get as much money in the process.

 

[Infinite blue]

Fight after school????

 

[CorporateBlue]

Wolfsburg haven't 'bumped up the price' since we started negotiating in January - they have compromised on the price they originally set. City have known the price 'range' from day 1 and have just been chipping them away in the meantime. Don't underestimate the internal politics/PR requirements of the selling club
We are in the final stages now, and the deal will be completed in the next 72 hours.
Keep the faith

 

[davelyncooper]

Let Alloffs have his moment of glory come this time next week he will have faded into just a nobody and we will have his prize asset. Only one winners here and it sure as hell is not going to be him.

 

[Drenndi]

Wolflsburg doesn't need 80 Millions for KdB. I think they are still looking for an alternative. Until Wolfsburg signs an alternative there is no reason to sell Kevin as it would only make them weaker than they are right now.

I don't agree at all. Half that team is dogshite. They could have signed 5 or 6 players. A centre back & striker for a start.

They may well do, but lots of people read the Sun. The smarter people, are by definition, fewer in number.

 

[DiscoSteve]

We have been and we really like it,the Autostadt is an amazing place..

I had a look at the cars at the local Audi dealership and one of the girls that worked at reception was stunning..

and she wasnt wearing a bra :-)

Ignoring the girl at Audi... would you want to go anywhere near this?

 

[IanBishopsHaircut]

You could look at it another way...maybe Allofs is deliberately stalling because he doesn't want to spend our money on players

He would rather pocket the amount for the club coffers

 

[blueincy]

You could of picked a better vid that one does him no favours!

Try this one then? So many to choose from..

 

[Blue Maverick]

Please Santa I dont want any presents just want Wolfsburg in CL draw

Wonder if part of the deal wold be he can't play against them if we draw them this year.

Read the Sun as much as you want mate.
