KDB is definitely worth £50m. I see him at Hazard level and he will drastically improve this squad in so many aspects! Not only that but he's 24 years old and will still yet improve

I think there's a lot wishful thinking about good intentions and of the player wanting to come to City that much and also people wanting us to sign him so bad they are in some sort of denial about whats really happening(some interpretations are quite bizarre to me).
Just some of the things people seem to be ignoring are:
Not only is he not putting in a transfer request to help speed things along(some people clinging the idea that it's because of a bonus, when he's due a nice signing on fee and improved contract anyway.. wouldnt be a good sign even if true imo), he hasn't even said he likes City never mind that wants to come and play for us(no positive messages at all just some vague over done press talk that everyone rolls out when asked about moving clubs). In fact Hecking has again said the player doesn't want to leave in a press conference today.
Wolfsburg want a better deal, yet they have shown very little respect towards us, in fact it could be said they have taken thinly veiled snipes at us in the media, yet we still have people talking about us just being respectful to their club in the way we are letting this drag on.
I could go on... people defending the fee because of the one time player of the year award, this is the first time he's managed it and people are trying to justify it by comparing him to Messi, Ronaldo and Bale. £47m-50m fair enough you can sort of go in some way to justify that after a great season, beyond that... you're avin a laugh. Or people trying to make out it doesn't matter when the clubs name is dragged through the dirt in the press. Just as long as we get the players in everyone will respect us they say to themselves, I for one don't want the club seen as a Real Madrid wannabe.
Might be a negative post but this has been even worse than the Sterling transfer which was bad enough on its own and the press are still going on about that, I've never known a transfer window like this, it's supposed to be a time for optimism but it's been marred by frustration and tediousness.

Just been told City submitted a new bid of £50m this afternoon.
thanks Ric....I'm just surprised it took us so long to make it!;) I'm no expert but got the feeling from all the rumours/leaks over the last month that it was always going to take a fee "bigger" than Sterling to get this done...Wolfsburg dont need the money, dont "want/need to sell the player and they are a CL team so have "enough" to offer a player, to make this a close call....when you put all that into the pot....it adds up to a team needing to make a 50mil+ offer to make it happen.....my biggest concern is that De Bruyne not pushing for the move "as hard" as maybe we had been promised??.....just my opinion but I would guess we were hoping that if we could get close to the asking price, De Bruyne would be willing to do his bit to get it over the line....maybe this hasnt happened "yet" and the reason we still havent got him signed.....we now getting to the point in the transfer window where we need to go in hard and close these deals....
