De Bruyne?

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

Of all our reported, pre season, deals, this will prove the easiest one to conclude, imo.

Done deal, and has been for quite some time, in my view

I hope so, would be a fine addition.

Wolfsburg have a lot of room to pay De Bruyne close to whatever he wants but I think ManC will get him if u give him an offer he cudnt resist, probs around the 150k-200k range

I think this is our most likely acquisition, I think with it will be assisted with Kompany being club captain, and Denayer on our books.

I hope so, but he might show loyalty and stay at Wolfsburg. Hopefully we can convince him though.

hopefully he will always understand that hes always going to be playing for second place in his domestic league if he stays?

Offer him 120k plus bonuses.

Offer him 120k plus bonuses.

That's a rather raggish approach.

It's a fair point, it's just that he seems settled there, I hope we can get him though, hopefully Kompany and Denayer will have a word.

You winding him up?

This is how it is now for top players I gather.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say always. Bayern are probably always going to be in the mix but it wasn't that long ago that Wolfsburg actually won the league. Plus some of the most influential members of this Bayern squad are ageing. Ribery, Lahm, Schweinsteiger and Robben are all getting on a bit now. If anything , other German clubs will probably be thinking that the next few seasons might be the best opportunity they have in a while to have a go at the title whilst Bayern go into transition. Obvs Bayern will remain a huge obstacle for any team wanting a crack at the title but we don't have to go that far back to see teams like Stuttgart, Wolfsburg and Dortmund winning it.
