De Bruyne?

Get KDB and I don't think any of Silva Sterling or KDB will have a set position as such. They are all interchangeable and that's the beauty of it for me. The opposition won't know who is going where. And if a defender is getting the better of one of them they can switch.

Frightening for the opposition for me. At the minute with Navas in the team you know how it's likely to be set up.

Wolfsburg shifting the goalposts I think.

Bearing in mind all the posturing about the transfer request, I'd assume that in the absence of one Wolfsburg are

That seems very much like taking the piss where I come from.

It also appears that it's now a recurring theme for any club we buy from are to behave like absolute twats.

I say that because, if 47 million was their indication, and we bid it, then moving it to 57 is very much cuntish, whether he's their star player or not

no doubt this will be being presented as recompense for whatever loyalty bonuses the player gets for not handing in the request. That will be how it's playing out id assume.

I think we should walk, 57m is a complete pisstake and will only bring City in for more stick from the media and public, if only they engaged their brain and see that City would gladly pay less it's the holding clubs trying to fleece City all the time. I'd honestly rather us take our chances with what we've got and maybe give Lopes a shot, we paid over the odds for Sterling after Liverpool fannied us around and if we tolerate this again with Wolfsburg it will mean every club will do it from now on.

Oh no stick from the media.

 

[Mezrah]

Considering they told Juventus they wanted £42 mil for him and jump to £57 mil just because we are bidding now is F'ing rediculous!

Have I missed anything ?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Think they have seen the Raheem saga and said right then we want 50m from city

Abundantly clear.

We will end up paying the 50m.

Like I said though why are we ok with this? Oh he wants his bonuses so we have to pay over the odds again, oh thats fine then... listen either he wants to come here or not, he'll get a better contract here, better all around football life. He SHOULD have put the transfer request in if he does want to come, no excuses.

It appears we can't even sign players who Barca and Real don't want......!

 

[Metalartin]

Oh no stick from the media.

So you think further damage to City's image worldwide is not significant? Short term view that IMO, people will go on about this transfer window for years if we end up paying daft money for both players.

 

[KingVinnie]

Abundantly clear.

We will end up paying the 50m.

OR they want to keep the best player in the entire german league, a player that got what 15 goals 30 assists and thought he's probably worth slightly over the 50m mark
