De Bruyne?

Wolfsburg_UK said:
Sorry to but in again. BILD never actually said a fee was agreed, they said that personal terms were agreed and the clubs were in advanced talks. SSN Germany said they believed a fee was agreed. And if it's any consolation, every Wolfsburg fan I follow, and a couple work for WAZ, believe that De Bruyne will leave

What's the number. A few hours ago people were calling Sky reliable and they announced the 50.4 agreement. Does anybody actually know what the fee Wolfburg will actually accept?

SSN Germany said £50.4m had been agreed, but they're not the most reliable, remember Gundogan to United being 'done'. I think it's fairly clear that €80M (£57m) would be accepted, I actually remember that figure being talked about quite a bit the last week or so. But this is Allofs so who knows what he wants, most of us are getting bored with him now.
 
All they have to do is play this stalling game for another ten days and they have their wish. They can keep him. Meanwhile we will not have time to sign anyone else and - if the stories on the other thread are not all rubbish (as they may be) - Chelsea will have nabbed Pogba.

We need to be very careful we don't get blindsided here as the window draws to a close and panicking sides seeing how well City have strengthened and are gathering momentum look to do things that two weeks ago they may not have felt the urgency to do.

Either way we have an excellent side that is clearly better than it was and whoever other teams sign we have a good chance of success. But I expect Txiki is totally on the ball about what is going on here and will not allow both his two main targets (Pogba and KDB) to slip away without one heck of a fight.

Bild: Wolfsburg believe €70m (£50.8m) is not enough for De Bruyne and want around €80m (£58m) to sell him


Weeeee. No clue about the reliability.

I'm pretty sure thats been the rumoured asking price for a while and we've been hoping to knock them down...lets hope we can meet them in the middle...50mil + 5mil add-ons...?
 
As many have said here.....Wolfsburg are going to keep putting up the price for KDB as they are in the driving seat.

The only person who can shift the balance of power here is KDB. He seems like a nice guy and obviously did not want to cause a problem over the transfer. But if his agent now tells him enough is enough here and it's to time to act.....refuse to play for them and confirm that you want to leave. Wolfsburg will suddenly be in a very different position and not be in total control of the situation dictating all the terms. Come on Kevin....this guy Allofs clearly does not give a damn about you.....time to return the favour and give him a kick up the pants.

Sky England usually announces something when everything is done and dusted, they know fuck all. Neither Sky Germany nor Bild is reliable.
 
Can't kev 'sleazily' put in a transfer request without putting in the transfer request? What's he have to do? Have his agent lash out? Refuse to play? I've been asking about this transfer request thing and nobody has answered me yet. Wikipedia defined it poorly by basically saying the club doesn't have to do shit other than take a reputation hit. Seems really grey.

This very well could get sorted out but at this point we shouldn't expect anything.

Sadly this is what a prolonged and frustrating transfer saga can do to you.

Going on too long and now doesn't look good for any future deals we do. Offer them the 50m with a take it or leave it. It seems to have gone up a million every day for the last 2 weeks. Sometimes for the long term benefit of the club it is better to walk away Wolfsburg will think they have won the battle but may well have caused a bigger problem with keeping hold of a player that believed he was to leave. We can always go back in January with a 40M offer when KDB has started to lose interest in Wolfsburg.
 
if we pay more will our ST price go up?

if not then who gives a fucking shit

if yes then tell the greedy prick to fuck off

If Wolfsburg doesn't allow him to leave, he won't make a fuss over that. Wolfsburg have offered him a very lucrative salary and eventually he will move to a top club. Their gain, our loss.
 
I'll probably be vilified for this; but so be it.

It's quite clear that we haven't agreed a fee yet with no sign of that happening despite the 'advanced talks'

If everyone rightly recalls the ITKs stated that the fee would be around the 43 million back in July.

let's assume that 43 million was our estimation of KDB's valuation - that means in the space of a few weeks we've jumped circa 10 million.

Some negotiating team. With a slight resemblance to the Sterling transfer I might add.

Now Wolfsburg are holding out for 57; I actually foresee us backing out of this deal now rather than paying that.

then he'll end up at Bayern for a lesser fee.

I've actually thought from day 1 that we're focusing on the wrong area of our team here. We've been for the past two years the highest goal scorers in the league - we just needed to secure our midfield.

We haven't done that; despite the change of system. At the end of the day they're the same players from last year. See Gary Nevilles Post match analysis on Sunday.

As things stand I hope that Fernandinho, Toure and Silva don't suffer an injury or loss of form otherwise we're vulnerable both in the league and in Europe.

If that is wumming or offensive to anyone in here; I'm sorry - I truly am.

Most times I'd agree but this piece of the puzzle is too big to miss out on with Pogba out of the picture. I'm not so sure how committed Kevin is to coming here. I'm not trying to flap or whatever but it's possible he's fine with staying at wolfsburg and testing the waters again next year. For example maybe in his head he was 60/40 on coming here and staying there. I kinda get a shifty vibe from KDB.
