De Bruyne?

Neville Kneville said:
Here's what the twat said in January:

Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs has acknowledged that the Bundesliga outfit might struggle to hold on to star player Kevin De Bruyne if Bayern Munich were to make a move.

The Belgium international, 23, has been in sublime form for Wolfsburg since joining them from Chelsea in January 2014 and the reigning German champions are believed to be keeping a close eye on his situation at the Volkswagen Arena.

"We might have to let go of certain players," Allofs told Kicker when questioned about potential departures.

"Of course, Kevin has the potential to play for Bayern Munich. But he also needs the right conditions in order to do shine and to be given the right role. That's the case at Wolfsburg, but I don't know whether he fits Pep Guardiola's philosophy.

"We got lucky that Kevin was unhappy at Chelsea when we signed him. It didn't work out for him under Jose Mourinho. Unlike Wolfsburg, Bayern are capable of signing big names even if they are happy at their club, though."

Flappers note: That was JANUARY not now, JANUARY no panic needed.

Unsavoury as that may sound, that's the reality I'm afraid.

It's also the reality for most clubs in England, but none would actively try to reserve their players for another English club, like this arsehole appears to be doing..

Would you expect Everton's DOF to tell John Stones he shouldn't sign for, say, Atletico Mardid & should stay with the club, but at the same time, basically push him towards signing for Manchester Utd ? This guy is trying to dissuade a player from leaving, not because of the fee, or because he is desperate to keep him at Wolfsburg, but because he wants to save him for Bayern Munich.

It's shameful, is what it is.

Have to agree, the whole way this guy is coming over seems odd...he's not even the manager! Clear boardroom politics.

The last time i buy a VW.

It's like this I believe:
VW owns Wolfsburg.
VW also owns Audi.
Audi owns 9,9% of FC Bayern Munich
Martin Winterkorn is CEO of VW, and chairman of the board of Audi
Martin Winderkorn is also member of board of FC Bayern Munich
Besides this VW is a sponsor of the German version of the FA cup, Audi owns 10% of FC Ingolstadt plus is a heavy sponsor of the club (new in the Bundesliga this season)

So there are surely enough potential for conflict of interest, conspiracy theories, if you like such things.

I think KDB will have to say that he wants to go to us, for this to happen. I would hope he has done that already, and we are just seeing the signs of price negotiations in the press.

Yep. Bundesliga is a joke. All clubs bending over Bayern. Allofs is such a twat, very unprofessional.
