De Bruyne?

What are you doing, Txiki...

...but we won the war.

Yeah, I'm not saying we won't get him, just frustrating seeing people act like our £45m is cold water in a desert.

We should just give up.
No point trying.
Lets sign Amilfatano.
He's easier to sign than De Burny.

'Fraid so, more a guesstimate if they're doing what I think they're doing.

what do you think they're doing?

200 pages to go - we should absolutely not give up! Either of KDB or PP are going to be significant signings now and KDB is a better bet than PP

I see the point you're making but Sterling did make it difficult for Liverpool to keep him by ruining his relationship with the fans.

You mean like not signing a new contract extension? Hmmmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't KDB not signed a contract extension either?
I think souring the relationship with fans was more to do with the arrogance of Liverpool's entitled "Histree boys " and Rodgers trying to manipulate the situation in the media

what do you think they're doing?

Relaxing on the sun loungers poolside til teatime?

From manchester evening news

#MCFC are keeping their options open & could move for #Barca's Pedro if De Bruyne deal stalls:

We had to pay the asking, regardless. Remember our first bid was £25m!

Sterling was only earning £35k a week and had two years left, his impact on the situation was zero, outside of stating he would not sign a contract extension.

How is De Bruyne's situation different? He's got 4 years left, won't ask to leave, and he's not even on a small wage.

As far as I see it, as long as De Bruyne and agent are saying they'll happily stay, their impact on the transfer is not just zero, like sterling's, but negative.
