De Bruyne?

Hecking's comments are an embarrasment. Wolfsburg are supposed to be Bayern's rivals, but are completely subservient to them.

The thing is, they aren't their rivals. Not really.

Schalke are bayerns arch-rivals, and Dortmund are their real modern day rivals.

Wolfsburg have only won 2 trophies in their 71 year history, the 2009 Bundesliga, which they won because Bayern were in a complete shambles on and off the pitch, and the DFB Pokal last year - which they won because they lucked into KDB.

With KDB they finished 2nd last year - mostly because Dortmund, Schalke and Leverkusen had abnormally bad years. This year, they'll struggle to say 2nd with De Bruyne, and without him, 5th would be good.


So that is why they are subserviant. It's a midtable club which lucked into a high finish last year, not really expecting to ever compete with bayern.

Not to mention they share fucking board members!

"I expect Kevin to stay. With all due respect for Manchester City, it would be different if Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich made a move," he told Kicker.

"I would understand a departure then."

Seems to me they are preparing themselves for him leaving and coming to us. Whenever anyone says with respect it means the opposite.

I think the last part is very encouraging. 'He's going to City but I don't know why' is basically what he's saying.

Yep, it's damage limitation. Making clear that they don't want to sell to City, but that the player has forced the move.

I don't remember this sort of hassle from them when we bought Dzeko...wasn't he the top scorer for them at the time?!

Pinky and De Bruyne

'Pinky and the brain'

Was thinking "pinky and perky" myself.

If we get him I'll be hootin' & a hollerin' because we'll get a brilliant player & really piss off Bayern. It's a win win!

What's actually happening?

 

[BillyShears]

I wonder if he's trained with Wolfsburg today. Anyone any ideas ?
